" I think the narrative structure of those story ballets, which were some of the biggest stories of my childhood. I grew up watching Swan Lake. Giselle, La Bayadère, these were stories that were as present to me as anything that I read. Those story ballets are often split in two parts in a way. You have the White Swan and the Black Swan. In Giselle, you have the young girl and then you have the shade, the kind of ghost who comes to haunt her, her lover. Very similar in La Bayadère. And the structure of this novel is in two parts and it's two versions, in a way, of the same character. And now that you said it, I wonder if in some way, without realizing it, that narrative structure had really seeped into my brain."Katie Kitamura is the author five novels, most recently Audition and Intimacies, which was named one of the New York Times 10 Best Books of 2021, longlisted for the National Book Award and the PEN/Faulkner Award, and a finalist for a Joyce Carol Oates Prize.

Phil Chan is a choreographer, director and ballet scholar who seven years ago decided to turn a longstanding frustration into a wellspring of activism. Although American entertainment had made great progress in eliminating the use of blackface, demeaning and wildly inaccurate depictions of Asians and Asian-ness continued to appear on ballet stages. He therefore teamed up with prima ballerina Georgina Pazcoguin to create Final Bow for Yellowface, an organization that started working with ballet companies in America and Europe to eliminate offensive depictions of Asians in their repertoires and help them find inventive and respectful ways to stage culturally problematic ballet classics.Their work has paid off, notching up notable successes here and abroad and changing the culture in ballet companies to value and welcome a broad array of artists. Phil distilled his ethos and tactics in his book “Final Bow for Yellow Face: Dancing Between Intention and Impact.”As a director and choreographer, Phil has put his own stamp on once-problematic Orientalist standards. Last year, he directed “Madama Butterfly” at Boston Lyric Opera in a production that The Boston Globe called “an invigorating and meaningful reclamation of Puccini's beloved opera.” Earlier this year he co-choreographed with Doug Fullerton the ballet “La Bayadère” at Indiana University, maintaining Auguste Petipa's choreography but moving the setting from a 19th century India sprung from a European imagination to the homegrown American exoticism of 1920s Hollywood.In this interview, Phil describes how he developed the mission and methods of Final Bow for Yellowface and explains how reexamining the standard ballet repertoire through a multicultural contemporary lens honors and benefits the artform as a whole.https://www.yellowface.org/

What do we do when “the classics”—those canonical treasures that embody the rich traditions of our genres—start to feel outdated for today's audiences, or even at odds with our missions? In today's episode, we take a close look at celebrated works from the classical Western canon that include harmful portrayals of non-Western cultures, and hear how one artist is taking action to prune and preserve the art he loves. Artist and advocate Phil Chan shares how performing arts organizations can approach works from the classical Western canon with enhanced cultural sensitivity and authenticity. He offers tips and real-world examples for updating outdated representations of non-Western cultures while maintaining the integrity of these works.

Anne Grosvold i samtale med ballettsjef Ingrid Lorentzen, koreograf og danser Sudesh Adhana, kritiker, aktivist og danser Grace Tabea Tenga, Inna Sangadzhieva fra Helsingforskomiteen, og solist Melissa Hough.
Her kan du høre tidligere ballettdanser Lene Skalleberg fortelle om det klassiske ballettverket om tempeldanseren Nikiya.
La Bayadère est créée en 1877 au Théâtre impérial de Saint Pétersbourg. La chorégraphie est signée Marius Petipa, sur une musique de Ludwig Minkus. Mais pourquoi ce ballet a-t-il tant marqué Rudolf Noureev, tout jeune soliste du Ballet du Mariinsky ?
Movementtalks had the chance to be in conversation with Cullberg managing director Stina Dahlström and choreographer Jérôme Bel. Here they share their opinion and goals concerning the emission of CO2 in the atmosphere and the contemporary world of performance. Stina Dahlström was born in 1982 in Kiruna. She has an education in literature, dance, theatre, economics and project management at the University of Stockholm. Stina Dahlström has worked as a freelance producer, and as head of production at MDT, an international co-producing and presenting plattform for contemporary dance in Stockholm. As of 2016, Stina Dahlström is managing director of Cullberg, the national and international repertoire contemporary dance company in Sweden. Jérôme Bel lives in Paris and works worldwide. nom donné par l'auteur (1994) is a choreography of objects. Jérôme Bel (1995) is based on the total nudity of the performers. Shirtology (1997) presents an actor wearing many T-shirts. The last performance (1998) quotes a solo by the choreographer Susanne Linke, as well as Hamlet and André Agassi. Xavier Le Roy (2000) was claimed by Jérôme Bel as his own, but was actually choreographed by Xavier Le Roy. The show must go on (2001) brings toghether twenty performers, nineteen pop songs and one DJ. Véronique Doisneau (2004) is a solo on the work of the dancer Véronique Doisneau, from the Paris Opera. Isabel Torres (2005), for the ballet of the Teatro Municipal of Rio de Janeiro, is its Brazilian version. Pichet Klunchun and myself (2005) was created in Bangkok with the Thai traditional dancer Pichet Klunchun. Follows Cédric Andrieux (2009), dancer of Merce Cunningham. 3Abschied (2010) is a collaboration between Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker and Jérôme Bel based on The Song of the Earth by Gustav Malher. Disabled Theater (2012) is a piece with a Zurich-based company, Theater Hora, consisting of professional actors with learning disabilities. Cour d'honneur (2013) stages fourteen spectators of the Cour d'honneur of the Palais des Papes in Avignon. In Gala (2015), the choreographer stages together professional people from the dance field and amateurs coming from different backgrounds. In Tombe (2016), performance created at the invitation of Opéra National de Paris, Jérôme Bel proposed to some dancers of the ballet to invite, for a duet, the person with who they would never share the stage. Posé arabesque, temps lié en arrière, marche, marche (2017) is a piece for all the dancers of the Ballet de l'Opéra de Lyon based on the famous “Entrance of the shadows” of the ballet La Bayadère. Dancing as if nobody is watching (2018) and the reading of the Lecture on nothing by John Cage call for a contemplative aesthetic attitude. With Retrospective, Jérôme Bel goes back through his video archives and makes a cross section within his corpus, to better bring out the linkage between dance and politics. Isadora Duncan (2019) paints a picture of this choreographer. In 2013 Emails 2009-2010, written with the French choreographer Boris Charmatz, is edited (Les Presses du Réel). This book is published on line and in English, still by Les Presses du Réel, in 2016. This interview was recorded with no CO2 emission.

Ils sont l'exception de la règle : 5 danseuses et danseurs noirs ou métis parmi les plus de 150 membres du Ballet à l’Opéra de Paris. À travers un manifeste, qui implique également deux barytons africains des chœurs, ces artistes ont soulevé le débat sur la diversité et les discriminations raciales au sein de l'institution tricentenaire. Un débat qui fait des vagues depuis l'été dernier. Le directeur de L’Opéra Alexander Neef a lui-même commandé un rapport sur la diversité au sein de l’institution qui devrait lui être remis avant d’être publié. « Dans la tête de beaucoup de gens, pour entrer à l'Opéra de Paris, il faut être blanc. » Guillaume Diop, 20 ans, est l'un des rares danseurs métis qui ont réussi à entrer dans le corps de ballet de cette institution vieille de 350 ans. Né à Paris, d'un père sénégalais et d'une mère française, ce jeune passionné de danse classique s'est heurté aux obstacles dès son plus jeune âge, en commençant par son père qui aurait préféré le foot pour son fils. « C’était un peu compliqué côté sénégalais de comprendre qu’un garçon fasse de la danse. Et après, c'est plus à l’école de danse des petites remarques d’autres élèves que je ne pourrais pas rentrer à l’Opéra parce que j’étais métis, des réflexions comme ça. » « Elle est noire » Une expérience partagée par Letizia Galloni, fille d’un couple italo-congolais : « Quand on est petit, on ne se rend pas forcément compte et ça nous passe un peu au-dessus, mais c’est vrai que je devais avoir l’âge de 10 ans quand j’avais entendu une copine dire : Letitzia, elle ne pourra pas entrer dans le ballet parce qu’elle est noire. » Aujourd'hui, Letizia Galloni a grimpé les échelons dans la hiérarchie du ballet pour arriver, à 29 ans, à un grade intermédiaire dans une compagnie qui n'a encore jamais eu d'étoile noire. « Il y a des gens qui ont des clichés que les Noirs sont peut-être trop musclés ou ont les pieds plats. Et c'est très réducteur d'avoir ce genre de propos. » La passion de danser et la société « La danse, ce n’est pas un art qui est réservé à une couleur de peau, remarque Guillaume Diop. C’est une question de talent, de capacité, de la passion de danser et qu’on soit bien ensemble, que les lignes soient tenues, mais je ne vois pas en quoi avoir des personnes non blanches dans le corps de ballet, ça casserait vraiment l’homogénéité. » « Et là, on est quand même en 2021, souligne Letizia Galloni. C’est une grande institution et il faut que ça représente aussi la société. » « La danse des négrillons » Dans le sillage du mouvement Black Lives Matter né aux États-Unis, cette nouvelle génération de danseurs parisiens décide de rédiger un manifeste pour interroger les stéréotypes d'un « ballet blanc ». Ils dénoncent les pratiques comme le « blackface », le grimage en noir, les costumes et maquillages non adaptés à leur couleur de peau comme les collants roses qui rendent leurs jambes grises. Ils évoquent les discriminations au casting, les appellations historiques impliquant le mot « nègre » dans des œuvres héritées de l'époque coloniale comme La Bayadère et sa « danse des négrillons », sans pour autant vouloir mettre les classiques au placard. « Construire quelque chose de bien » « On ne veut pas être dans la précipitation de tout retourner tout de suite, pas du tout, affirme Guillaume Diop. On est dans le dialogue pour construire quelque chose de bien et d'équitable pour tout le monde. » La direction de l'Opéra de Paris a pris le relais avec une consultation inédite dans le but d'inciter à la réflexion et de faire changer les mentalités pour qu'un jour, être noir et danseuse ou danseur classique ne soit plus un paradoxe.

In this episode of MOVERS SHAKERS MAKERS mini-series, Ballet for the Twenty-first Century, Emma Lister and guest Phil Chan discuss his first book Final Bow for Yellowface: Dancing Between Intention and Impact, and his upcoming work, Shades of the Orient, in which Chan supports his claim that Orientalism is one of the major pillars of classical ballet. He puts forward some constructive solutions on how to stage problematic works (La Bayadère set in 1930's Hollywood anyone?!) and discusses the impact that recent social justice movements have had on ballet companies.Chan is cofounder of Final Bow for Yellowface, a pledge to eradicate outdated portrayals of Asians on stages the world over. To date, almost every major American ballet company has signed this pledge, and several international companies as well.Final Bow for Yellowface Website:www.yellowface.orgFollow them on Instagram: @finalbowforyellowfaceTHIS EPISODE HAS BEEN AUDIO TRANSCRIBED.This mini-series has been made possible by a grant using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.

Anastacia Holden joined The Joffrey Ballet in 2005 following two seasons as an Arpino Apprentice. Born and raised in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Ms. Holden was first interested in international folk dance and started ballet at the local YMCA at the age of seven. She began serious study with Judy Rice at the University of Michigan and later continued her training under Prima Ballerina Maniya Barredo in Alpharetta, GA. Since joining the Joffrey, Ms. Holden has enjoyed performing in many ballets including: Cinderella (Spring Fairy); Cloven Kingdom; Don Quixote (Amore); Giselle (Peasant Pas de Deux);The Green Table (the Young Girl); Infra; In the Middle, Somewhat Elevated; La Bayadère (Gamzatti); Maninyas (first Pas de Deux); Night; The Nutcracker (Sugar Plum, Clara); Othello (Bianca); "...smile with my heart;" Swan Lake (Cygnets, Pas de Trois); Tarantella; and Viva Vivaldi. She has originated roles in works by Nicolas Blanc, Donald Byrd, Val Caniparoli, James Kudelka, Jessica Lang, Edwaard Liang, and Stanton Welch, and she has been honored to dance in numerous works by Joffrey co-founders Robert Joffrey and Gerald Arpino. In 2010, Ms. Holden co-founded the non-profit Embarc, a three-year program that provides community-driven, experienced-based learning opportunities to low-income high school students to inspire and prepare them for college and career success. Her other interests include reading, travelling, cooking and crochet. @anastaciaholden www.embarcchicago.org --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/didyoumovetodayco/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/didyoumovetodayco/support
