F ROM T H E A RT I S T IC DI R E CTOR Welcome to Innovations 2016, This is Ballet West’s ninth annual Innovations program that I designed to foster the creation and presentation of new and experimental works for the ballet stage. Part of my mission with this program is to feature new works by established and up-and-coming national and international choreographers. The other part is to give our Ballet West Artists an opportunity to develop their own choreographic skills. This year we present a Ballet West premiere by one of my favorite choreographers, Jessica Lang–her Lyric Pieces to the music of Edvard Grieg. Jessica has made quite a name for herself around the world with her beautiful movement quality, deep sense of musicality, and unique vision of ballet and dance. Jessica’s style is classically based, fluid, and organic with a simple straightforwardness that makes her dances appear inevitable. While her work is never fussy, it is often surprising, and her ideas take us to places we don’t expect. This is why she is in such demand across the globe. She created Lyric Pieces for the Birmingham Royal Ballet in England in 2012 and I loved it from the moment I saw it. Using fascinating props and set pieces that are moved around the stage by the dancers, Jessica redefines the space in each movement and develops new worlds and environments for the dancers to dance in. There is no plot to Lyric Pieces but it is a whimsical, at times humorous, and ultimately profoundly moving dance poem. Our dancers have loved working with Jessica and she has been a joy. It is an honor to have her set this lovely ballet on Ballet West. Innovations 2016 opens with a world premiere by Ballet West Principal Artist Christopher Ruud. Back in 2008, when I inaugurated the Innovations series Christopher was one of the first company dancers I chose to create a short work. His gift as a choreographer was immediately apparent to me and since then he has gone on to win a fellowship with the National Choreographic Institute and I have commissioned him to create three other world premieres of larger scale for Ballet West including this, his newest creation In Memorium. In Memorium is also exciting as it includes a newly commissioned score for piano and strings, conceived, written, and performed live by Ballet West Associate Music Director Jared Oaks and a string ensemble. The whole work is presented in five movements and is about a woman and her recollections as she looks back on her life. Each movement is inspired by the different major event, positive or negative, that has made up who she is today. Jared’s music, melodic and unique, evokes aspects of such great composers as Debussy, Ravel, Britten, and Vaughn Williams. In turn Chris’ choreography showcases his powerful, theatrical, and individual style which is clearly influenced by such genius choreographers as Anthony Tudor and Jiří Kylián. The three works that make up the second Act of this program were all created by first-time company Innovations choreographers. Opening Act II is First Soloists Christopher Sellars’ charming and challenging Barre Spot. Sellars takes his cue from the music. Erwin Schulhoff was a Czech composer in the early 20th Century. His influences were some of the great composers of the day, Richard Strauss, Leos Janacek, and Alben Berg. Schulhoff was also greatly influenced by American Jazz music of the early 1920’s. All this sound and quality goes into Barre Spot as Sellars creates a mood evocative of jazz-era speakeasies accompanied live onstage by Oaks and a solo saxophone. But the ballet is as multi-faceted as the subtle pun in the title – a dancer’s personal spot at the classroom barre is sacred and rarely does anyone move from that spot when the grueling workday begins. Corps Artist Oliver Oguma’s elegant and Zen-like Fragments of Simplicity is an exploration into the music of Jia Peng Fang, a master at the erhu or Chinese violin. Oliver creates a delicate world with the dancers that reflects the hypnotic strains of the music. Newly named Demi-Soloist Trevor Naumann’s fascinating, complicated, intellectual exploration Homer is subtitled “a study in phenomenological ontology” which was an early 20th Century method of analyzing human consciousness that focused on the idea that one’s state of mind is an effect, rather than a determinant of existence. A heady idea to be sure but, if you consider, it is an idea that lends itself to a myriad of dance possibilities. I also am excited that with Homer we produce our second ballet with a newly commissioned score that reflects the complex and at times troubled world Trevor has developed on the stage. The work is intense and intriguing.

F ROM T H E A RT I S T IC DI R E CTOR In many ways I look at this Innovations 2016 as one of the most complete Innovations program we have produced. Three different pieces accompanied by live music, two different commissioned scores and an impressive level of sophistication in the choreography. I am so pleased to see the growth in this program, especially as this will be last Innovations program in its current incarnation. Next year I have decided to expand and extend how Ballet West approaches the world of new creations. To maintain my two-pronged mission, I wanted Ballet West to open our doors and invite companies from around the country to showcase their new creations alongside us. At this time next year, we will be unveiling a new National Choreographic Festival, two separate programs over two weekends with two different guest companies each weekend, and a different new world premiere by Ballet West each weekend as well. So as not to lose the valuable opportunity for our company dancers to develop as choreographers, I am unveiling our new Works from Within program in March up in Park City. And it will be exclusively dedicated to Ballet West dancers’ choreography. The development of new work is as vital to ballet as the preservation of our great classics. Ballet is a living, breathing art form. By respecting and upholding our past and our great traditions we keep our history alive ensuring the future, but only if we constantly work to redefine the boundaries of where our art form can go. Thank you for being part of this exploration. Thank you for being with us for this incredible 2015/2016 season and thank you for your ongoing support of Ballet West. We look forward to seeing you next season!

F ROM TH E E X ECU TI V E DIR ECTOR In the three years since I arrived at Ballet West, I’ve seen the Company accomplish monumental longterm strategic goals, and elevate the artistry on stage to brilliant new heights. Each year, Ballet West is unquestionably getting more financially sound and artistically vibrant. Last year included a series of successes which were almost surreal. From the elimination of our operational debt (which was tied to the organization for 33 years!), to moving into our beautiful new home, the Jessie Eccles Quinney Ballet Centre, to the continued expansion of the world-class Ballet West Academy, it was a litany of very public and exciting advances. This year has been no different, as Ballet West continues to experience explosive growth while it executes an increasingly impressive slate of world-class ballet. As the organization continues to evolve, I’m thrilled about the transformation of the Innovations series next season into an exciting new venture. When Adam Sklute took the helm nine years ago, as Artistic Director, he wanted to nurture young choreographers within the Company and give them a platform to create new works on fellow dancers. What you will see tonight is the latest exquisite display of how that organic idea has grown into a robust program which our audiences look forward to each year. But, we believe that it is important to progress and continue to challenge ourselves. So, next season, we will graduate the Innovations series into the new National Choreographic Festival. This platform will showcase several of America’s most esteemed ballet companies as they create new works and present their pieces over two weekends next spring at the brand new Eccles Theater. Because Innovations is adored by so many, we will continue this program in Park City under the new title, Works from Within—four World Premieres by Ballet West artists. Both The National Choreographic Festival and Works from Within expand the breadth, scope, and visibility of Ballet West in our own community and the larger national dance world. It is indeed an exciting time to be a balletomane in Utah! As we close this amazing season, we all have much on the horizon to look forward to. Thank you for your continued support of this remarkable Company. We hope to see you all again in the fall. Sincerely,
Scott Altman Executive Director

CASTING IN MEMORIAM CHOREOGRAPHY: Christopher Ruud MUSIC: Jared Oaks, In Memoriam VIOLINISTS: Andrea Hughes, Emily Day-Shumway, Alexander Woods, Aubrey Woods PIANIST: Jared Oaks COSTUME DESIGN: David Heuvel LIGHTING DESIGN: Nicole Pearce
For my mother, my sister, and my Loren. This ballet is for the women in my life who have shown me what it is to truly be “great”. A special thank you to Barbara Barrington Jones for her support and for sharing so much of her story that helped to inspire this work. – Christopher Ruud This work is based on the first five stanzas of part LXIV of Alfred Tennyson's 1850 masterwork In Memoriam A. H. H. The first of the five corresponding movements begins with a two minute introduction, which is briefly recalled at the beginning of each of the following movements and at the conclusion of the piece. Following the initial introductory material, a high, gentle, dotted rhythmic motive appears, which rises, falls, and reemerges throughout the ballet. – Jared Oaks 5/20, 5/25, 5/27, 5/28 EVE

CASTING BARRE SPOT CHOREOGRAPHY: Christopher Sellars MUSIC: Erwin Schulhoff, Hot Sonate PIANO SOLOIST: Jared Oaks SAXOPHONE SOLOIST: Marco Blackmore COSTUME DESIGN: David Heuvel LIGHTING DESIGN: Nicole Pearce
Barre Spot is all about the music. The 1930 jazz score for solo saxophone and piano inspired the idea of setting this piece in a jazz club using the dancers and choreography to create the atmosphere. In my mind, having the musicians play live onstage would set the mood right away. In place of a bar, I decided to use a ballet barre to add an abstract and almost industrial feel to the piece. My goal was to make this piece enjoyable for the audience and the dancers alike. Our length of rehearsal time created the perfect environment to develop multiple layers, turning this piece into more than I could have ever hoped for. My love for Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, and other movie-musical greats has inspired me to choreograph previous works in this style, but with Barre Spot, I feel I have finally began to find my own voice. I’d like to extend a big thank you to the musicians and the dancers for their hard work and contributions to this endeavor. – Christopher Sellars 5/20, 5/25, 5/27, 5/28 EVE

CASTING HOMER: a study in phenomenological ontology CHOREOGRAPHY: Trevor Naumann MUSIC ENGINEERING, PERFORMANCE, AND COMPOSITION: Boaz Roberts, HOMER COSTUME DESIGN: David Heuvel LIGHTING DESIGN: Nicole Pearce
Open: vision, bright light and the learned interpretation of our noise. Bound or ostracized to our convictions, the perpetual repurposing of experience is imminent. Undercurrent or surface current, we are bound to a spectrum of current ideals. Bound or ostracized from one another, the obsessive creation of genre is made. Repeated or reversed, recurrence always assumes a direction: the direction of infinite return. Close: sound, embryonic light and the forever altered remembrance of our gloaming. – Trevor Naumann 5/20, 5/25, 5/27, 5/28 EVE

LEADERSHIP Adam Sklute ARTISTIC DIRECTOR, BALLET WEST & BALLET WEST ACADEMY
Since 2007, Adam Sklute has expanded Ballet West’s repertoire, visibility, and overall outlook with exciting Company premieres, increased touring and public exposure, and greater focus on Ballet West Academy and Ballet West II. Under Sklute’s leadership Ballet West has toured extensively, appearing three times at Washington DC’s Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to sold out audiences; a weeklong engagement at New York City’s Joyce Theater; Chicago’s Auditorium Theater with two separate programs; twice at New York City Center’s Fall for Dance Festival; and twice at the Chicago Dancing Festival. The Company has also appeared at Wolf Trap National Park for the Performing Arts, The Laguna Dance Festival, Aspen, CO, Dallas, TX, twice in Las Vegas, NV, Minneapolis, MN, and Victoria, BC. In 2009, Ballet West graced the cover of Dance Magazine for the first time in 25 years and again was on the cover in 2013. Under Sklute, the Company has garnered numerous reviews and articles in such publications as The New York Times, The Washington Post, Dance Magazine, Ballet Review, and Pointe to name a few. Ballet West was the subject of the BBC Worldwide Production’s docu-drama television series Breaking Pointe which aired for two seasons on The CW channel. Sklute has introduced Ballet West audiences to such renowned contemporary choreographers as Nicolo Fonte, Jiri Kylián, Mark Morris, and Twyla Tharp, among others, all while expanding the company’s Balanchine repertoire and adding early 20th century Diaghilev-era masterpieces. In addition to reintroducing lost elements of Christensen’s production of The Nutcracker and reconstructing his The Firebird, Sklute conceived and produced his own new versions of Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty and Giselle. Sklute has created wildly successful annual programmatic additions to the Season, including a Family Series and Innovations programs. All in all, in his eight years as Artistic Director, Sklute has introduced over thirty new works and nearly forty world premieres to Ballet West. A native of Berkeley, California, Sklute began dancing at the age of 16. His early training was at the Oakland Ballet and San Francisco Ballet schools. After only two years of formal study Sklute became one of the last two artists personally chosen by Robert Joffrey for The Joffrey Ballet. He danced with The Joffrey from 1985 to 2000 and then rose through the ranks to Associate Director in 2005. He became Artistic Director for Ballet West in 2007. Sklute has served on the boards of Chicago’s Dance for Life, Salt Lake Community College, School of the Arts Advisory Board; and the Salt Lake County Cultural Facilities Master Plan Advisory Board. He currently serves on the Board of the Gerald Arpino/Robert Joffrey Foundation. A finalist judge and international representative for numerous ballet competitions including the Youth America Grand Prix, Los Angeles’ Spotlight Awards, The International Ballet Competition, The Japan Grand Prix, and an adjudicator for the American College Dance Festival Association, Sklute was listed as one of the 25 Movers and Shakers of the Utah Arts Scene in 2007. In 2014 he was named one of Utah’s Enlightened 50 and he received the Utah National Guard’s Bronze Minuteman Award for outstanding service to Utah and the nation.

LEADERSHIP Scott Altman BALLET WEST EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR THE ELIZABETH SOLOMON EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR CHAIR
Scott Altman joined Ballet West as Executive Director in 2013, bringing with him nearly three decades of experience in nonprofit and performing arts administration. A respected industry leader, Altman has worked most of his career to advance the arts through entrepreneurial growth, fiscal sustainability, and by maximizing organizational achievements. The Company is enjoying a true renaissance, unique for an organization that is in its 52nd year. In the last two years, under Altman, Ballet West has witnessed a 21 percent growth in ticket sales, vastly expanded touring schedule, robust growth in donor development, and a renewed and energized Board of Directors. In that time, Altman has been a guardian of the fiscal health of the organization, balancing the operational budget while establishing a robust cash reserve. Most recently, he facilitated a watershed campaign, the 12-month long “Million Dollar Challenge,” which completely eliminated $2.2 million in operational debt; the first time the Company had achieved the eradication of operational debt in 33 years. Under Altman’s skilled leadership, Ballet West Academy has also experienced phenomenal expansion. The attendance of the school has grown 75 percent, as well as the physical footprint, with three new satellite locations. Upon his arrival at Ballet West, Altman helped negotiate financing and oversaw the construction of the Jessie Eccles Quinney Ballet Centre, which was completed in December of 2014. This beautiful new 55,000 square foot home for Ballet West, which is LEED-certified, provides space for studios, costume and administrative space, and is a beacon to the arts community in Utah, and beyond. Previous to Ballet West, Altman was the General Director of Phoenix-based Arizona Opera where, under his leadership, the company experienced unprecedented patron growth, expanded audience development, and achieved financial stability by launching – and completing – an $8.5 million capital campaign. Altman also oversaw the design and construction of a spectacular new Opera Center in central Phoenix, which incorporated administrative, performance, production, education, and community space. Recently, Altman attended Stanford University’s Executive Program for Nonprofit Leaders, an elite certificate program for nonprofit administrators. And just this month, Altman was selected by Utah Business magazine as CEO of the Year, a prestigious award that identifies and honors executives in Utah. He is also the recipient of the New Jersey State Council on the Arts Citation of Excellence Awards for 2007, 2008, and 2009. Professional activities include, among many others, serving as Regional and District Adjudicator for the Metropolitan Opera National Council, The University of Arizona Presidents Competition, and the Dallas Opera Competition. Since moving to Salt Lake City, Altman has embedded himself in the community, and is a member of the Salt Lake Rotary, Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce, Utah Nonprofits Association, and is a founder of the Ballet West Ballers, the official softball team of the Company. Prior to his roles in administration, Altman had a successful 20-year career as a professional singer and performed 37 opera roles internationally. Along his path to administration, he was also an adjunct professor of opera at Princeton University. Altman completed his Masters of Music degree at Manhattan School of Music in New York after receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the State University College at Purchase in Purchase, New York.

The Painful Truth Pain is an unbidden guest, humanity’s shadow companion down through the ages. It is a despoiler of dreams and a thief. Chronic pain can appear suddenly in a person’s life, changing it forever. Dr. Lynn R. Webster puts a face on chronic pain through the lives of his patients, and provides an intimate view of what it is like to live with it. The Painful Truth will open your eyes to the world of those who are stigmatized Preprint and marginalized by our society and healthcare system. Yet the new book offers hope and a path forward for those willing to engage in a crusade against the human race’s primal enemy—pain.
“It is not often that you come across a book written by a physician that is filled with more than good advice; it is filled with compassion and understanding for people with pain. From his early childhood, Lynn Webster understood the torment of pain and the importance of just being there and accepting the person in spite of his or her pain. His accounts of his patients are heartfelt, and anyone with pain can relate to the struggles he so perceptively tells.” —Penney Cowan, founder and executive director, American Chronic Pain Association
