NOTES

CHOREOGRAPHER’S NOTE Cinderella, one of the most popular fairytales, is also one of the most beloved full-length ballets ever performed. Prokofiev composed the threeact ballet in 1940. He did not finish the score until 1945, and it was first performed at the Bolshoi Theatre. Sir Frederick Ashton of the Royal Ballet choreographed one of the most popular versions. He and senior dancer Robert Helpmann cast themselves as the ugly stepsisters. Audiences were shocked to see such physical comedy in a ballet. I remember watching this ballet on television as a young girl, and I was mesmerized. Needless to say, I had no doubts about casting male dancers to portray the stepsisters.

The ballet has over three hours of music to tell the story; however, my version tells it in the better part of two hours. Many of the older story ballets were extended beyond the story to allow for the large dance rosters of the companies to perform.

When choreographing a story ballet, the steps need to not only flow and look easy but be very clear in describing each character. The movement for a fairy would not be the same as that for one of the sisters. Working with dancers on that aspect of the art form is one of my favorite parts of choreographing.

Trying to figure out how a bird or a courtier may act helps me dig deeper when I create the movement.

I would like to take this moment to thank everyone at UC’s CollegeConservatory of Music for allowing me to set this ballet with the wonderful CCM Dance students. Everyone was so kind and open to the process, and I hope they have enjoyed it as much as I did.

Karen Russo Burke Artistic Director, Dayton Ballet

SYNOPSIS

ACT I Cinderella, a lovely orphan, is busy with her daily chores. She has watched her beloved home become someone else’s following the death of her mother and the remarriage of her father to a self-serving woman with two odious daughters. Since her father’s death, Cinderella has become nothing more than a maid. Her two stepsisters are very demanding and taunt her constantly. One day, Cinderella’s stepmother comes into the kitchen and announces that they have been invited to the Prince’s ball, all except for Cinderella. The stepmother arranges for a dance master and a dress maker to come prepare them for the event. Cinderella is left alone to reminisce about happier days when her mother was alive. Soon, an old beggar woman appears and begs for alms. Cinderella gives her a small piece of bread and the old woman thanks the kind girl. Cinderella is so very kind that even the birds that live in the kitchen are her friends; they comfort her. As the stepsisters and their mother leave for the ball, Cinderella falls asleep. The mysterious beggar woman reappears and reveals herself as Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother. She transforms the kitchen and changes the birds into attendants. She also summons the Fairies of the Four Seasons to bring gifts to Cinderella to reward her for her kindness. Cinderella will go to the ball after all! The Fairy Godmother warns Cinderella that she must leave the ball before the clock strikes midnight.

ACT II The ball has begun, and the courtiers dance. Cinderella’s stepmother and stepsisters arrive. They are all anxious to meet the Prince. Suddenly, an enchanting woman appears. She looks as though she is floating on air.

Everyone is in awe of her, especially the Prince. The mysterious woman, of course, is Cinderella. As the evening progresses, the sisters put on a display of poor manners. Their antics do not intrude on the love-struck Prince and Cinderella, who spend the evening together dancing and unaware of anyone else in the room. Cinderella is so caught up with the beauty and excitement of the evening that she loses track of time and forgets the Fairy Godmother’s warning. The clock strikes twelve! The attendants hurry Cinderella back to her carriage. On the way, she loses one of her slippers.

ACT III The Prince is distraught that he cannot find the enchanting woman who appeared at the ball. He found her missing slipper, and he decides to search the countryside for its owner. Back in her kitchen, Cinderella awakens. Was it all a dream? For comfort, she goes to the picture of her mother and discovers one slipper. She is convinced that she was actually in the palace and in the arms of the Prince. Cinderella overhears her stepmother and stepsisters talking about the Prince and his search for the mysterious ball guest. He will be coming to their house! Cinderella’s stepmother orders Cinderella to prepare the house for the Prince’s visit. He appears, and both sisters try on the slipper. Angry that the slipper does not fit either of her daughters, the stepmother demands to try on the slipper herself. As everyone is trying to help her fit into the shoe, the matching slipper falls out from Cinderella’s apron. Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother appears and reunites the lovers, who live happily ever after.

THE VILLAGE NEWS ALUMNI APPLAUSE Claire Bergman (BFA Ballet, 2015) is in her fourth season with her hometown ballet company, the Dayton Ballet. Before coming to CCM, she trained at Pontecorvo Ballet Studios and danced with the Gem City Ballet. During her time at CCM, Bergman had the opportunity to dance in China with the Beijing Dance Academy and performed roles in Serenade, Giselle and other contemporary works. Since joining Dayton Ballet, she has enjoyed performing Jirí Kylián’s Sechs Tänze, Ron Cunningham’s The Great Gatsby and Stephen Mills’ Quartet from Five Flights Up. Asia Harrison (BFA Ballet, 2013) is a Cincinnati native who attended the School for Creative and Performing Arts before arriving at CCM. Since her graduation, she has taught dance at various studios in the Cincinnati area and been featured in eight music videos for local artists. As a singersongwriter, Harrison plays gigs with her band in Ohio and Northern Kentucky on a regular basis. She also performs as a dancer and musician under the stage name Bla’szé.

David Odenwelder (BFA Ballet, 2011) danced and toured with the Cincinnati Ballet and the Neos Dance Theatre before winning the position he has held at the Alabama Ballet for nine seasons. Additionally, Odenwelder is on faculty at the Alabama Ballet School and the Alabama Ballet Tappers. At the Alabama Ballet, he has performed the roles of the Roper in Agnes De Mille’s Rodeo, Hilarion in Giselle, Gurn in La Sylphide: A Witch’s Revenge, Von Rothbart in Swan Lake and the Soldier Doll in George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker.

Matthew Steinbrenner (BFA Scenic Design, 2006) has worked as the art director for many television specials, including the 2014, 2015 and 2018 MTV Video Music Awards, the 2015 and 2016 Oscars, and the 55th and 56th Annual Grammy Awards. He was also the art director for the 2007 Super Bowl Halftime Show, featuring pop sensation Prince. Recently, Steinbrenner worked with the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Dolby Theater to redesign the “Winner’s Walk,” a corridor through which every Oscar winner leaves the stage after receiving his or her award. In 2015, Steinbrenner was honored by CCM’s Theatre Design and Production department with an award for outstanding alumni.

GUEST GUEST ARTISTS

KAREN RUSSO BURKE CHOREOGRAPHER Under the artistic direction of Karen Russo Burke, Dayton Ballet’s vision is one of diversity. Her emphasis on developing each dancer as an artist as well as a professional athlete challenges the dancers to new heights as well as making Dayton Ballet a company to recognize.

Karen has created more than 30 works for the company, ranging from classical to contemporary. She has an affinity for story ballets such as Cinderella, The Nutcracker and Butterfly Suite. Her contemporary pieces — such as Dracula: Bloodlines, with original music by Austin Jaquith and libretto

by Karen — are Dayton favorites. Her works No Strings Attached and Fate of Place have included collaborations with current musical composers such as Stella Sung, who recently served as the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance’s Music Alive Composer-in-Residence.

Karen has been involved with Dayton Ballet since 1993. Prior to becoming artistic director, she served as a teacher, as director of Dayton Ballet II for 12 years, and as both ballet master and choreographer for the organization. She was also coordinator of Dayton Ballet’s “Dance Power” outreach program in 1997, directing and teaching inner-city children the art of dance.

As a professional dancer for more than a dozen years, Karen had leading roles in ballets by dance legends such as Antony Tudor, José Limón, Gerald Arpino, Paul Taylor and current choreographers such as Septime Webre.

In 2005, Karen was honored by her prior professional company, American Repertory Ballet, for her commitment and excellence in the field of dance.

She was awarded the Ohio Arts Council Excellence in Individual Creativity Award in 2006, and in 2010 the Dayton Business Journal honored her for her professionalism in the arts community.

She has taught at Wright State University, University of Dayton, Stivers School for the Arts, the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, Rutgers University and the Princeton Ballet School.

As a member of the Dayton Performing Arts Alliance, Karen is enjoying her continuing production collaboration with Dayton Opera and Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra. Her choreography and staging has been seen in many operas and Season Opening Spectaculars, such as The Book Collector and Carmina Burana in 2016. She is looking forward to being able to work with Tom and Neal on many more wonderful DPAA productions.
