Winter Program
February 18 – March 1, 2009
Kettentanz
Choreography by Gerald Arpino
Music by Johann Strauss, Sr. and Johann Mayer
A beautiful interpretation of the music of Old Vienna filled with Viennese polkas, gallops and waltzes. Kettentanz was created by Gerald Arpino, co-founder of The Joffrey Ballet,
in grateful thanks to Vienna for the warm welcome they gave the company during their tour there.
Mobile
Choreography by Tomm Ruud
Music by Aram Khachaturian
This serene meditation was inspired by the mobiles of the famed artist Alexander Calder. The ballet consists of a trio in which a man balances two women in slowly evolving positions that
depend on balance and equilibrium, much like a mobile does. Joffrey Premiere
Hand of Fate pas de deux (from Cotillon)
Choreography by George Balanchine
Music by Chabrier
Set in a haunted ballroom, this pas de deux from ballet icon George Balanchine’s Cotillon (1932), reveals the figure of fate as she visits a young
girl’s cotillion. The atmospheric pas de deux pairs fate with a young cavalier and leaves the audience wondering what is real and what is fantasy. It shows Balanchine’s
great choreographic abilities at a young age.
Le Sacre du Printemps (The Rite of Spring)
Choreography by Vaslav Nijinsky
Reconstructed and staged by Millicent Hodson & Kenneth Archer
Music by Igor Stravinsky
The Rite of Spring stands as one of the most magnificent musical and dance masterpieces of the twentieth century. Choreographed by the legendary Vaslav Nijinsky, the piece caused riots in the streets when
it was first staged. It disappeared only to reemerge due to the urging of Robert Joffrey and the painstaking research of Millicent Hodson and Kenneth Archer. It is not to be missed.
