Dear Audience Member,
We humans thrive on telling stories. Facts and figures inspire some, butenlivening those details in the form of a story engages everyone. There isno escaping stories, or the urge to tell them.
Classical ballet has for centuries been the source of stories told by dance. The first ballets wereelaborate concoctions based on Greek mythology presented as allegories for the delight ofaristocrats. As ballet matured the stories changed to those told by grandparents – fairy talesand nursery rhymes. In the mid nineteenth century ballet turned to more literary inventionssuch as Giselle or Coppélia, adapted by clever choreographers to suit the tastes of the time.Only in the twentieth century did ballet abandon stories for the “plotless” ballet.
As a contemporary company, Commonwealth Ballet yet remains beholden to the traditions ofthe story ballet. Our Nutcracker at Regis College’s Casey Theatre presents a somewhat luridstory of a little girl’s dream first written by E.T.A. Hoffmann. Our March performance at thesame theater is a ballet re-telling of the eighteen-century French fairy tale by Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve, Beauty and the Beast. Even our September performances of A Glimpse Beyond at Mt. Auburn cemetery celebrated the life story of the early American feminist, Margaret Fuller.
Translating a work of literature into a ballet presents deep challenges. Our sources are oftennovels full of subplots, details and complications. One might think that a mere 90-minutedance, without the benefit of any spoken words, could hardly convey anything worthy of theoriginal. But the sorcery of dance is to make concrete and visual some central element of itssource. Abetted by memorable music, such as that by Tchaikovsky or Delibes, a ballet makesa visceral impression on its audience, allowing the dancers to express thoughts and emotionsthat, as the great dancer and choreographer Fred Astaire once noted, could never be spokenout loud.
Commonwealth Ballet’s mission is not only to enliven these stories for our audiences, but tobring to its young dancers a deeper understanding of the human narrative. A gesture, abreath, a glance, a burst of energy or a soft drop of an arm can convey in seconds nuances atwhich words merely hint. Join us this season to experience the old stories once again broughtalive by dance.
