Guild

PDF Newsletter Tremendous growth in the technique and artistry of our students, along with an evolving vision for presenting dance, has led us to create a full performing season under the Guild. The Guild will sponsor a fall through spring performing season with four offerings. Our first season begins this November with a Cornucopia of Dance featuring new work from the classical repertoire and original work.

This new work will be learned in a special choreographic intensive session in August. Wilor Bluege will add new repertoire, which is detailed in her article in this newsletter.

After four years of November performances of The Golden Bough, it will move to February 2002. This move will create opportunities for increasing audience and make way for new holiday works in the fall. We also have a new venue for the school's Spring Gala performance.

2001-2002 Performing Season:

Fall Divertissement - October 26 & 27 or Nov 2 & 3
The Golden Bough - February 15-17
Grand Old Day - June 2

From the Artistic Director,

In 2001, we will add excerpts from two more jewels in the classical ballet crown, La Bayadére and Raymonda. During June and July, I staged the famous “entrance of the Shades” from Act 4 and the three solo variations attendant to it, and a delightful “vase” dance from Act 2 of the ballet. During the summer masters Series, Gabriela worked with us on La Bayadére. A character class for each level, a very necessary component of the classical ballet, was added to the curriculum during the Summer Choreographic Intensive to fulfill the requirements of Raymonda and the other character pieces that may be staged for Levels 2 and 3. Character dance challenges the classical ballet dancer to move in a different way and augments substantially the expressive and stylistic range of the dancer.

Work will include:

Spanish Dance (from Swan Lake) - the choreography by Lirena Branitski after Marius Petipa in the Spanish character dance style, which we first staged for the 2000 Summer Intensive, will be set on students this year.
La Bayadére (excerpts) - choreography by Marius Petipa
Raymonda (the Hungarian czardas excerpt) - choreography by Yuri Grigorovich after Marius Petipa and Aleksandr Gorsky
Flower Festival at Genzano (a solo excerpt) - choreography by Bournonville in that style
Ballet Cameo (1997, W. Bluege) - an original choreography done in Romantic style
Agnus Dei (1999, W. Bluege) - an original work with a religious theme, more modern in style
Mozart Concerto (1976, W. Bluege) - an original work in neo-classical ballet style. An original character piece for Levels 2 and 3...and a yet-to-be-determined original work to music by Claude Bolling orScott Joplin - a humorous work in the modern ballet style with elements of jazz or ragtime.

Looking forward to the new season!

Professional classical ballet training at St. Anthony School of Dance is based on the Vaganova Method. At the turn of the 20th century, the Imperial School of Russian Ballet was the system of classical ballet training in Russia. This system was responsible for producing great artists such as Anna Pavlova, Michael Folkine, Vaslav Nijinsky, George Balanchine and others. The Imperial School system incorporated soft and gracefully elegant movements from the French school and the dynamism, strength and endurance of the Italian school under Enrico Cecchetti. In the early 1920’s, Agrippina Vaganova sought to consolidate the teaching of the Russian school while gleaning the best from the French and Italian schools. Natalia Dudinskaya, Vaganova’s pupil wrote, “... the single style, the dance ‘handwriting’, which manifests itself most clearly in the harmonious plasticity of movement and the expressiveness of the arms, in responsive suppleness and at the same time the iron aplomb of the body, in the noble and natural placement of the head—these are the distinctive traits of the Vaganova school.” Vaganova’s system has since become the foremost method for the entire Russian choreographic school which was renamed the Vaganova Choreographic Institute. Her training has gained worldwide interest as the method that produced the luminaries Rudolf Nureyev, Natalia Makarova and Mikhail Baryshnikov. Vaganova herself by no means regarded her instructional system as immutable. Guided by her vast experience, Vaganova’s pupils and their pupils are enriching and emending this system in their creative practice. In direct ballet lineage from Vaganova, Gabriela Komleva, Prima Ballerina of the Maryinsky Theatre, has imparted her training to students and teachers of the Saint Anthony School of Dance for the past eight years.

St. Anthony School of Dance provides superior classical ballet training based on the Vaganova method of study as reviewed by Gabriela Komleva Professor, St. Petersburg Conservatory Ballet Mistress and Coach, Maryinsky Theatre August, 2001
