2 • From the Ground Up

Welcome to From the Ground Up, the Dance Division’s annual celebration of innovation, creative process, and new, experimental dance works.

This fall’s program features premieres by five compelling contemporary choreographers, created for our students during artist residencies in September and October. In addition, we are thrilled to present an excerpt of a classical favorite, the Pas de Deux from the Don Quixote Suite, taught and coached by senior ballet faculty members (and former Boston Ballet luminaries) Adriana Suarez and Gianni Di Marco, and accompanied by the Boston Conservatory Orchestra, conducted by Lawrence Isaacson. The ballet highlights our ongoing commitment to the classical foundations of contemporary dance, as well as one of the greatest opportunities available to dance students at the Conservatory—the chance to collaborate with brilliant musicians in performance.

All of the artists featured as choreographers on this program—Stephanie Martinez (Chicago), Sidra Bell (New York), Omar Carrum and Claudia Lavista (Mexico), and Tommie-Waheed Evans (Philadelphia) are engaged in challenging traditional ideas and expectations about modern dance through their own work and aesthetics. Each artist has created a unique new work that celebrates and explores the particular strengths and attributes of the performers: Martinez and Evans working with our sophomore class, Carrum and Lavista with the juniors, and Bell with the senior class.

As always, I am indebted to our rehearsal directors, without whom we could not present these works. Each of our rehearsal directors has had an acclaimed career as a performer, and they bring all of the wisdom earned through those careers to their coaching of the dancers for performance. A lot can happen to a piece between the time the choreography is completed and the moment it premieres on stage; how the work is understood and performed by the dancers powerfully impacts not only the shape, but also the meaning of the work. I am very proud of the

DIRECTOR'S NOTE

integrity and authenticity that our students bring to these performances, and this reflects the passion of our rehearsal directors, as well as their attention to detail, nuance, and inflection. Thank you to Tommy, Alissa, Joy, Leslie, Kurt, Gianni, and Adriana.

And of course, thanks to you, our audience, for sharing these exciting performances with us!

Enjoy!

BIOSCATHY YOUNG, artistic director, producer—received a B.A. in so-ciology and women’s studies from Harvard University and an M.F.A. in dance from the University of Illinois. Young is nationally recognized as a master teacher and has conducted residencies at more than 30 colleges around the country, as well as at the Bates Dance Festival, Florida Dance Festival, and the International Open Look Festival in St. Petersburg, Rus-sia. While she is best known as a teacher and choreographer of jazz dance, her 30 years of experience in the field of dance have been wide ranging and diverse. As a performer, Young has danced with a number of companies, including Zenon Dance Company and Danny Buraczeski’s JAZZ DANCE! She has also toured extensively throughout the U.S. and Europe and has performed in pres-tigious venues such as the Joyce Theater in New York and Jacob’s Pil-low Dance Festival. For the past 20 years, Young has focused on creat-ing her own works, a dynamic mix of styles and dance forms that inter-mingles jazz, modern, contact im-provisation, social dance, and gym-nastics. She creates choreography for her own company, Cathy Young Dance, and has also been commis-sioned by professional companies and presenters including the Walker Art Center, Minnesota Dance The-atre, Pennsylvania Dance Theatre, Zenon Dance Company, Minnesota Opera and internationally by Kan-

non Dance Company of St. Peters-burg, Russia. Her choreography has been recognized with awards and grants from the McKnight Founda-tion, the Jerome Foundation, Tar-get Foundation, and the Minnesota State Arts Board, among others. She was previously department chair and an associate professor of dance at Ursinus College and now proudly serves as Dean of Dance at Boston Conservatory at Berklee.

STEPHANIE MARTINEZ, chore-ographer—aims to create environ-ments which captivate, connect, and move her audiences along a journey guided by the kinetic momentum of her work. With original creations for Ballet Hispanico, Luna Negra Dance Theater, Sacramento Ballet, Ron De Jesus Dance, Chicago Dance Crash, and Visceral Dance Chicago, among others, she expands the boundaries of contemporary move-ment. A Chicago-based choreog-rapher and 3-Arts Award winner, Martinez's work has been featured in collegiate dance departments across the country, including Point Park University, Columbia College, Northwestern University, Jackson-ville University, and Virginia Com-monwealth University. In 2010, she assisted Broadway legend Ann Re-inking in setting the Fosse Trilogy, as well as Daniel Ezralow, choreog-rapher of Broadway’s Spiderman: Turn off the Dark, in remounting his celebrated work, Pulse, for Com-

pany C Contemporary Ballet in San Francisco. She has also created for National Choreographer’s Initiative and been awarded The Joffrey Bal-let’s "Winning Works: Choreogra-phers of Color.” Upcoming commis-sions include Eugene Ballet, The Big Muddy Dance Company, Charlotte Ballet, and Dance Kaleidoscope.

SIDRA BELL, choreographer—is a master lecturer at the University of the Arts, an adjunct professor at Ball State University, an artist in residence at Harvard, and was an adjunct professor at Barnard. She has a B.A. from Yale and an M.F.A. from Purchase College. Bell won first prize for choreography at the Solo Tanz Theater Festival in Stutt-gart, Germany, as well as a National Dance Project Production Award (New England Foundation for the Arts). Bell has received many com-missions internationally, notably for BODYTRAFFIC, Ailey II, Juilliard, River North Dance Chicago, NYU Tisch, Sacramento Ballet, Ballet Austin, LINES Ballet School, Visceral Dance Chicago, and Springboard Danse Montréal, to name a few. Bell was a cultural ambassador in Bulgaria, made possible by Move-ment Research and Trust for Mutual Understanding. She was commis-sioned as the choreographer for the feature film TEST, written and directed by Chris Mason Johnson. As a New York Times Critic's Pick, the film had screenings at festi-

vals worldwide, won two Outfest Awards and was nominated for an Independent Spirit Award. Bell is a sought-after master teacher at ma-jor institutions internationally. She is the creative director of MODULE, an immersive laboratory in NYC.

CLAUDIA LAVISTA, choreogra-pher—studied at the National Sys-tem for Professional Teaching of Dance in Mexico City. In 1992, she founded Delfos Danza Contem-poránea with Victor Manuel Ruiz, now a leading dance project in Latin America. She has received several awards for her artistic work, includ-ing the National Dance Award and the Dona et Cinema International Festival Award for Best Video Cre-ation. In 2001, critics selected her as “One of the 10 Best Mexican Dancers of the 20th Century." The National Endowment for the Arts has honored her with fellowships as a dancer and dance maker. Lavista is a member of the National System of Arts Creators, one of the most prestigious recognitions for artists in Mexico. She’s been a featured performer in more than 80 works and has created more than 45 cho-reographic works for several dance companies. Her work has been pre-sented in the U.S., Latin America, Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. She received a Mellon Residential Fellowship in 2011 from the Uni-versity of Chicago. In 1998, she created, along with Victor Manuel

Ruiz and Omar Carrum, La Escuela Profesional de Danza de Mazatlán (EPDM), which has emerged as one of the leading dance conservatories in Latin America.

OMAR CARRUM, choreogra-pher—joined Delfos Danza Con-temporánea in 1993, where he de-veloped his artistic career. He has been a featured performer in more than 60 works of dance, theater, and opera, working with an international roster of choreographers and per-forming in some of the world’s most prestigious theaters and festivals. As a choreographer, he has cre-ated more than 35 works for Delfos, EPDM, Camaleão in Brazil, and oth-er companies and schools in Mexi-co, Japan, and the U.S. In 2012, he developed CONTINUUM as an in-tegral system for training, with prin-ciples that challenged speed, mo-mentum, floor work, spacial planes and movement script. His short film, Fifth Wall, was selected by the Short Film Corner in Cannes 2013. He has received the National Dance Award as performer and choreographer, along with six grants by the Nation-al and State Funds for Culture and Arts in Mexico (FONCA). In 1998, Carrum cofounded La Escuela Profesional de Danza de Mazatlán (EPDM) with Claudia Lavista and Victor Ruiz, which has emerged as one of the leading dance conserva-tories in Mexico and Latin America. He became the academic direc-

tor in 2011 and created HABITAT, an annual project where he leads a team of artists to teach dance to more than 300 children in four poor neighborhoods in Mazatlán. Car-rum was the first Mexican choreog-rapher to receive the Guggenheim fellowship and, in 2014, he became a member of the National System of Arts Creators, a highly regarded or-ganization for artists in Mexico.

TOMMIE-WAHEED EVANS, cho-reographer—began his formal training with Michelle Blossom at the Dance Connection and Andrea Calomee at Hamilton High School in Los Angeles, CA. Under the guid-ance of Karen McDonald, Evans went on to receive a fellowship to study at The Ailey School. Evans has worked and performed for Matthew Rushing, Benoit-Swan Pouffer, Karol Armitage, and Debbie Allen, and he was an assistant to Troy Powell, current artistic director of Ailey II. Evans' professional appearances include the popular sitcom "The Parkers," the Emmy Awards, Hope-BoykinDance, the Radio City Christ-mas Spectacular, Lula Washington Dance Theater, the Philadelphia Dance Company (Philadanco), and Complexions Contemporary Bal-let. In 2006, he founded Waheed-Works and went on to set his work on The Garden State Dance Festi-val, the Philadelphia Dance Boom Festival, Grace Dance Theater, Verb Ballet, and Eleone Dance Theatre,

among others. He is currently a faculty member at the University of the Arts and recently received his M.F.A. in choreography from Jack-sonville University.

KURT DOUGLAS, rehearsal di-rector—is originally from Guy-ana, South America. He earned an M.F.A. in dance from Hollins Univer-sity (in association with The Ameri-can Dance Festival, Frankfurt Con-servatory of Performing Arts and the Forsythe Company in Frankfurt, Germany) and a B.F.A. in dance from Boston Conservatory. There, he was the recipient of the Ruth Sand-holm Ambrose Scholarship Award and the Jan Veen Dance Award. In 2001, he joined Limón Dance Com-pany. In 2002, he received a Prin-cess Grace Award and was invited to perform for His Serene Highness Crown Prince Albert of Monaco and the royal family. Douglas was named one of Dance Magazine’s “Top 25 to Watch” in 2006, and, in 2007, he became the first Afri-can-American in Limón’s history to portray Iago in The Moor’s Pavane, José Limón’s most influential work. Douglas has danced with the Radio City Rockettes, Lar Lubovitch Dance Company, and Thang Dao Dance Company, among others. Kurt toured with the Tony award-winning musical A Chorus Line. Douglas has conducted Limón workshops all over the world, at institutions such as Harvard University and The Juil-

liard School. Now a reconstructor of Limon’s work, Douglas is an am-bassador with the Limón for Kids program and guest teaches at the Limón Institute in New York City.

TOMMY NEBLETT, rehearsal di-rector—has been in the dance pro-fession for more than 30 years—first as a performer, then as a choreog-rapher, educator, and administrator.
