Rachel S. Moore President and Chief Executive Officer n the dance world, one often hears that visual arts aficionados are also lovers of dance — that the intersection exists because both genres provide artists a visual means to express feeling, emotion and opinion, but does so using different means, one through form and the other through performance. That intersection becomes very clear when we watch the powerful performances of Diavolo I Architecture in Motion®. In a delicate balance that carefully and cleverly juxtaposes the dancers with physical structures, Diavolo makes dance accessible and demonstrates the strength and athleticism of a highly innovative dance company that keeps audiences wanting more.

Diavolo is not only a Los Angeles treasure, but also a long-standing member of The Music Center family. The company has been a part of our legacy school assembly program, The Music Center On Tour, for nearly 20 years. When we opened Grand Park in 2012, we commissioned Diavolo to develop a special piece, “A Fanfare for Grand Park,” which had the dancers dressed all in blue and dancing in the park’s iconic fountain. When the company became a top 10 finalist in season 12 on NBC’s America's Got Talent, we felt a true sense of pride in their success. Now it is our sincere pleasure to present Diavolo as part of the 18/19 season of Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at The Music Center. Sit back in your seats and prepare to be amazed!

I’m delighted that, at the end of November, we will once again present George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker ® by Miami City Ballet. This production of the classic story ballet premiered last year here at The Music Center to sold-out audiences, who not only experienced Balanchine’s iconic choreography, but also the visionary sets and costumes by award winning designers Isabel and Ruben Toledo. Bringing a world-class Nutcracker back to Los Angeles was one of my goals when I joined The Music Center as president and CEO three years ago; I know how many of us love including this favorite ballet among our holiday traditions. Once again, the performances will feature student dancers from both The Colburn School and The Gabriella Foundation’s everybody dance! program, making this a truly special, only-in-Los Angeles presentation.

Next month, on November 6 and 7, we will honor one of the world’s most iconic artists when The Music Center presents JONI 75: A Birthday Celebration Live at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion. A star-studded lineup of artists will sing Ms. Mitchell’s songs from her entire oeuvre in two once-in-a-lifetime performances. On November 7, The Music Center will hold an exclusive birthday dinner for Ms. Mitchell and bestow her with The Music Center’s Excellence in the Performing Arts Award, acknowledging her innumerable artistic contributions. Visit musiccenter.org/joni for concert tickets while they last and musiccenter.org/joni75soiree for information and special packages with prime seats for the November 7 concert and the gala dinner.

As always, I value your support and welcome your ideas.

Warmly,

RACHEL S. MOORE PRESIDENT AND CEO THE MUSIC CENTER

ABOUT DIAVOLO | Architecture in Motion®, the renowned Los Angeles-based dance company, was founded in 1992 by Artistic Director Jacques Heim. He combined his academic background in theater, film and dance with his passion for architecture. For more than 25 years, Heim and his talented crew of dancers, designers and engineers have been applauded for their ability to display surprising movement against a backdrop of elaborately designed sets, entertaining audiences around the world with their new art form.

Heim's skill in creating work that entertains is central to his artistic vision, one that combines elements of contemporary dance with martial arts, acrobatics, gymnastics and hip-hop. Throughout the years, the company has captivated audiences in 250 cities and 14 countries and has performed to sold out audiences throughout the U.S. International touring has included stops in Germany, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Holland, Austria, Italy, Spain, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Columbia and Chile.

DIAVOLO has also appeared at select corporate events and for special advertising and promotional engagements.

In 2017, DIAVOLO enjoyed an especially extraordinary season, highlighted by Heim’s creation of five new pieces for season 12 of NBC’s hit series America’s Got Talent. As one of the top 10 contestants to reach the show’s finale at Hollywood’s Dolby Theater, the company was seen by over 90 million television viewers.

Through The DIAVOLO Institute, the company also provides educational activities and community outreach programs for people of all ages and abilities as it seeks to share the power of dance as a means of social impact. Two such programs are T.R.U.S.T., an initiative tailored for schools that explores the necessity of teamwork, and The Veterans Project, a four-month workshop using movement as medicine, which DIAVOLO has replicated in cities across the U.S. As DIAVOLO looks to broaden its outreach and impact on the performing arts community and the world at large, it will continue to create and tour new works, expand its Board of Directors, undertake more corporate and customized commercial assignments, and reach out to even more adventurous souls who want to join DIAVOLO on this marvelous journey.

DUSTY ALVARADO

WHO'S WHO

INSTITUTE DIRECTOR

JACQUES HEIM FOUNDER, ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Jacques Heim was born and raised in Paris where his earliest artistic experience came from street performing. He attended Middlebury College (B.F.A. in Theater, Dance and Film), the University of Surrey in England (Certificate for Analysis and Criticism of Dance) and the California Institute for the Arts (M.F.A. in Choreography). Not strictly a dancer or acrobat, Heim calls himself an “architect of motion.” He is like a drill sergeant or a football coach who loves pushing dancers beyond their own physical and emotional limits to make them feel they can conquer anything and make them realize they are heroes.

Heim is named after his grandfather, the late and revolutionary fashion designer who, in 1946, launched the first ever two piece bathing suit called atome, later renamed the bikini, and also invented le pret a porter, or ready-to-wear.

Like his grandfather who broke ground in the fashion industry, Heim challenges and breaks the mold of conventional wisdom surrounding dance, developing the unique and incomparable aesthetic of Architecture in Motion®.

In addition to founding DIAVOLO and serving as its artistic director, Heim has worked extensively in dance, theater, television and special events throughout the world. In 2017, he created five new performances based on DIAVOLO creations for NBC’s America’s Got Talent (AGT), which resulted in the company becoming one of the top ten contestants in AGT’s finale at Hollywood’s Dolby Theater. Heim recently directed DIAVOLO’s special appearance on Le Plus Grand Cabaret du Monde’s New Year’s Eve 2017, one of the most watched TV shows in France. DIAVOLO also appeared on Helene Fischer’s 2017 Christmas Spectacular, where the German superstar sang while rigged atop one of the company’s massive structures.

In 2004, Heim choreographed KÀ for Cirque du Soleil at the MGM Grand, Las Vegas, a destination show featuring apparatus inspired by DIAVOLO structures. In 2010, he was invited to be a creative director for the Opening Ceremony of the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou, China. Heim has also worked with Guy Caron and Michael Curry as a consulting choreographer on Ice Age Live!, a “mammoth” arena show that made its world premiere at London’s Wembley Stadium in November 2012 and is now touring throughout Europe.

Heim has received three USA Fellowship nominations and four Alpert Award nominations.

He has also been the recipient of the Martha Hill Choreography Award of the American Dance Festival the Special Prize of the Jury at the 6th Saitama International Dance Festival, a Brody Arts Fund fellowship and a James Irvine Foundation Fellowship; he was the 2016 Barney Creative Prize recipient.

A Houston native, Dusty Alvarado grew up as a competitive gymnast, actor and dancer. He received his B.F.A from Carnegie Mellon University and worked in New York City as a dancer and actor following graduation. After gigging it for a year, Alvarado shook things up and moved to Israel to assist in the creation of The Aluminum Show, a creative dance spectacle using aluminum materials to create a surreal world.

After two years of touring internationally with this Israeli show, Alvarado auditioned for DIAVOLO and three weeks later was on a plane to Gwangyang, South Korea. He was involved in three creations, including Fluid Infinities, which premiered at the Hollywood Bowl in September 2013. Currently in his fourth year as DIAVOLO’s Institute Director, Alvarado has helped expand the K-12 school programming from five to 15 programs a year. His passion to help others continues with DIAVOLO’s Veterans Project, a one-of-a-kind program that uses movement as medicine to help heal and connect our heroes.

JOSE HERNANDEZ Hernandez, a Los Angeles native, joined the company in 2015. He holds a Bachelor’s of Science in Business Administration with an emphasis in Finance from California State University, Long Beach.

Hernandez has spent the last seven years supporting local arts organizations in the areas of major gifts, event management and strategic planning with a focus in the performing arts field. At DIAVOLO, he spearheads the company’s major gifts program and manages a wide range of foundation and government grants. During his spare time, Hernandez actively volunteers for local arts and social service organizations. He has served on several grant panels through the Los Angeles County Arts Commission and has received a commendation of appreciation for his service by former Los Angeles County Supervisor Don Knabe.

Hernandez served as an active member of the Host Committee for the 2018 Dance/USA national conference, providing support to the Fundraising and Budgeting Sub-Committee.

Amy Tuley is originally from Cleburne, Texas. She was asked to join the company a few days shy of her graduation from the University of North Texas where she received her B.F.A. in Dance.

She has attended numerous dance intensives and has shown original work at the American College Dance Festival. She was a co-choreographer for Nick Cave’s collaborative performance art project, Heard. She has been involved in three creations with the company and has contributed her own choreography to DIAVOLO’s Fluid Infinities and Humachina II. Aside from dancing, Tuley is passionate about guiding dancers in the discovery toward their most authentic and expressive selves as artists. After touring internationally with the company for four

STEVEN JASSO PERFORMER

Steven Jasso began taking dance classes at a community college after failing to be accepted into any university because of poor grades. He dropped out of school to avoid debt and pursued dance when an opportunity to perform with State Street Ballet arose, an opportunity that led to eight years of performing around the country. With a constant craving for the new, he attended Pacific Conservatory Theatre to study acting. Jasso left performing and took up work as a carpenter, looking to connect with people far outside the bubble of the performing arts world. Still with a desire to perform, he found his way to the DIAVOLO Institute where he has been using dance and movement to teach kids about trust, leadership and teamwork. Jasso also participates in DIAVOLO’s The Veterans Project, which uses movement and the artistic process as therapy for military veterans.

Lawrence has trained in both New York City and Los Angeles and has performed at venues including Symphony Space in New York City, Harman Hall in Washington, D.C., and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland for choreographers such as Todrick Hall, Ashlé Dawson, Matthew Powell, and Mike Esperanza.

Her years of competitive gymnastics as a preteen sparked an enduring love for acrobatic work, and she also trains as an aerialist, primarily on silks. Since moving to Hollywood, Lawrence has appeared in music videos for artists including Charisse Mills and Shahram Solati and taught and performed as a member of the DIAVOLO Institute for two seasons. She is also a fitness trainer for the Tracy Anderson Method. This is her second season with the touring company.

DERION LOMAN PERFORMER

Loman started dancing his sophomore year of college and graduated in 2012 with a B.A. in psychology and a B.F.A. in dance from the University of California, Santa Barbara.
