Reyised Prol!:ramminl!:: 2001-2002 Season :\-Iiami City Ballet (MCB) will use funds from the City of Miami Beach's Anchors Program to supplement costs of presenting four repertory programs plus The Nutcracker and "Ballet For Young People" at Jackie Gleason Theater. Considered one of the most pure repositories of George Balanchine's choreography, MCB seeks to educate the community about the concept of a repertory and teach audiences how to experience neoclassical ballet. This season, the Balanchine style will be contrasted with pieces by choreographers working in a variety of contemporary styles, such as Paul Taylor and Edward Villella. MCB's 2001-2002 Season Progranuning is described below: Program I: "The Woman as Inspiration: An All-George Balanchine Evening" (September 28-30) This all-Balanchine program will allow audiences to return to masterworks they may have seen in the past in order to gain a deeper understanding of the layers of meaning inherent in these works. The program will include Scotch Symphony, set to music by Mendelssohn, which evokes a dreamlike "Brigadoon" atmosphere; Concerto Barocco, which features Bach's Double Violin Concerto in D minor; Tchaikovsky Pas de DeIL't; and fmally, Who Cares, a crowd-pleasing tribute to George Gershwin's Broadway musicals. Program II: "Gods and Mortals: Paul Taylor Plus Program" (November 9-11) Edward Villella's artistic vision includes the select matching ofMCB's talents with outstanding choreographers, such as Paul Taylor, whose work is compatible with the Balanchine aesthetic. This program will feature Arden COllrt, a high-energy work set to the Baroque music of William Boyce and loosely-based on a passage from Shakespeare's As You Like It. The program also Company B, a meditation of World War II set to the recordings of The Andrews Sisters. Program III: Giselle (Company Premiere!) (February 1-2) The Company Premiere of the full-length story-ballet Giselle will be the centerpiece of the Season. With intense themes oflove, death, forgiveness, and redemption, Giselle endures as the quintessential romantic ballet of the 19m century, transporting audiences to an enchanted world of mystical spirits where star- crossed lovers experience the redemptive quality oflove. Program IV: "Poets of Gesture: Premieres by George Balanchine, and Edward Villella (March 15-17) The season closes with the next segment from Edward Villella's four-part work-in-progress, The Neighborhood Ballroom. "The Quick Step" (title tbd) will highlight the Jazz Age (circa 1925-27) and once again draw from social dance in America. The program will end with the Company Premiere of Balanchine's Stravinsky Violin Concerto which incorporates the violin soloist as part of the on-stage choreography. MCB will once again present George Balallchine's The Nutcrackernt as well as a mini-series, "Ballet for Young People", a 2-program matinee series. This interactive program introduces excerpts from ballet with younger, lighter themes from the repertory, offering educational entertainment for young families with children. Prior to the performance and during intermissions, children have the opportwrity to meet dancers and participate in activities designed to teach the basic elements of dance (five positions, lifts, make-up application etc.). (Nutcracker performances: Dec. 21-23). .
