IN WATER FOR ELEPHANTS, CIRCUS MOVES AREN’T JUST TRICKS; THEY’RE STORYTELLING

Co-choreographer and circus designer Shana Carroll and co-choreographer Jesse Robb describe crafting the musical’s seamless movement through acrobatics and dance.

It seems obvious to use circus maneuvers to tell a story about, well, a circus. And yet, the circus created in the new Broadway musical Water for Elephants seems eons away from P.T. Barnum’s tent-set acts made explicitly for spectacle and show.

“What is so stunning about the circus movement is that it’s all derived in a movement language and vocabulary as opposed to trick, trick, trick, trick, trick,” said the musical’s co-choreographer Jesse Robb. The musical’s circus elements, while dazzling, serve the narrative — which follows Jacob Jankowski, a man who runs away from a shattered life and accidentally hops a train car of the Benzini Brothers Most Spectacular Show on Earth.

Yet circus is just one vernacular in the choreographic language of Water for Elephants. Gymnastics, aerial stunts, trapeze, hand-to-hand acrobatics, juggling, tightrope and more combine with traditional dance styles (jazz, swing, lyrical) to tell a collective story through motion. For the most part, circus designer and co-choreographer Shana Carroll crafted the circus sequences and Robb set the dance, “but there’s a Venn diagram,” Carroll said. “There’s fluidity at the center of it.”

There’s also a common theatricality. From the moment Carroll fell in love with circus arts at age 18, she was attracted to the form’s expressiveness. “When I work with my acrobats, there’s a lot of talk about intention,” Carroll said. “What is this expressing? If you are going to do a banquine (an acrobatic act with two or more bases and at least one flyer) is this a celebration? If you’re grabbing your rope, is it about the tenacity of the grab?”

With Water for Elephants, Carroll determined the types of circus she would use — for example, choosing “corde lisse” (rope work), tightrope and hand-to-hand but eschewing stilts and the complex Russian Swing apparatus. That part is the circus design. But once she decided the modalities, she had to choreograph the beat-by-beat steps.

At the beginning of Act 1, for example, the character Marlena (who performs with and cares for the circus’ liberty horses) sings the lullaby “Easy” to her wounded stallion, Star. Embodying Star onstage is a human performer, who performs a “tissu loop” act of delicacy and pain. But Carroll had to decide that “tissu loop” (in which the actor suspends themself on a pendulum of aerial silk) would be the way to communicate that emotion and then choreograph the routine.

“It becomes very engineering brain: the actual length of the fabric to get the type of pendulum we want, etc.,” Carroll said. “Then it’s a lot of playing. The most interesting thing for me was testing the parameters. If we get too far into actually doing a trick, we lose the emotion and the [spirit of the] horse and [Marlena] singing.”

“It was constantly showing restraint and pulling back and doing just enough — [like] when he was galloping, saying, ‘Maybe he could do a little kick here and there,’” Carroll continued. “I feel like the work was testing each edge of what’s too much [and] what’s not enough to find just the right amount of circus.” That experimentation led to the consistent, choreographed routines audiences see throughout Water for Elephants

The whole musical is a balancing act of melding narrative and sensation, circus and dance. In fact, fusing these different movement lexicons was one of the greatest overall challenges in choreographing Water for Elephants

“There were three major languages that existed,” Robb explained of his company. “There were actors, who took beats off each other and were able to utilize that for their impetus. There were dancers, who are very linear in eight counts and understand the musicality, and then there were circus artists who were physically taking [cues] off each other when they were ready.”

“Somehow, Shana and I were always going, ‘How do those three groups find similar cues and vocabularies that they can utilize in a production number or scene [to get] all three on the same page?” he continued. “Those three different palettes are so unique, in terms of how you gutturally achieve that movement on the beat, that it took so much work.”

What resulted are numbers like “Zostán,” which equally conveys the joy of the Benzini Brothers’ performers through high-flying leaps as it does through stomping and jiving, and “The Lion Has Got No Teeth,” which exposes the circus’ deception through handstands and partner throws as well as spins, slides, jumps and pulses. Throughout the show, the ensemble — made up of musical theatre and circus talent — moves as a whole.

“That was the number-one objective and the idea: creating steps and movement that you basically couldn’t decipher between an acrobat or an actor or a dancer,” said Robb. “It created this world of a collective as opposed to: [dancers] do this and then [acrobats] do this.”

But Carroll and Robb both said they could not have built this — or the show — without each other.

“I trust his voice and eyes and opinions so much,” Carroll said of Robb. “That level of partnership was such a gift, and I think that it just sharpened us each to our better selves.” Robb agreed, “We bring out the best in each other.”

Between all of the choreographic moments, Robb can’t pick one that most resonates. For him, it’s the full picture.

“I feel like — in terms of the collaboration for [director] Jess [Stone], Shana and myself — you really do get a chance to explore the extremes of human nature’s physicality and what you can show off and do, but in a playful way that is still diegetic and spur of the moment,” Robb said. “Hopefully, it feels very improv and exciting in that manner because it should.”

Even though it’s choreographed within an inch of its daring and remarkable life.

LES MISÉRABLES PUTS 19TH-CENTURY FRENCH HISTORY ONSTAGE

Take a closer look at the true revolution behind the renowned musical.

The story of Les Misérables spans 17 years of history — just one year longer than the run of the original 1987 Broadway production. Based on Victor Hugo’s 1862 novel, the musical opens in 1815 France, exploring ideas of justice and redemption based around the fictional Jean Valjean’s life post-imprisonment. Les Mis culminates in 1832 with a revolution — but which revolution?

The revolution depicted in Les Mis was the June Rebellion (June 5 and 6, 1832), a republican-led attempt to dismantle the July Monarchy, the name for the government established in 1830 by King Louis Philippe I. The July Monarchy was led by extremely wealthy members of the bourgeoisie, and its reign was marked by economic downturn, food shortages and disease. An outbreak of cholera struck Paris in 1832, claiming the lives of over 18,000 citizens and hitting poor communities the hardest.

One notable victim was Jean Maximilien Lamarque, a member of French Parliament and an outspoken critic of the monarchy. A veteran of the French Revolution (1789-1799), Lamarque was well-liked among the lower class for his public calling

out of the Monarchy’s disregard for human rights. Riots followed Lamarque’s death on June 1, 1832; the outrage turned to rebellion, resulting in approximately 800 deaths from June 5 to June 6.

Hugo’s fictionalized version focuses on a group of student organizers, led by the character Enjolras, who rise up against a corrupt government. Enjolras is loosely based on Charles Jeanne, one of the leaders of the June Rebellion. Like Enjolras, Jeanne took charge of the barricade, fighting for a more just society. Jeanne survived the rebellion, only to die five years later in 1837 from tuberculosis. In the musical, however, Enjolras dies on the barricade while raising a red flag. A longstanding representation of popular revolt, the use of a red flag in times of political turmoil dates back to medieval Europe.

The image of waving a ravaged red flag atop a barricade has become a visual synonym for the musical. The flag was an especially popular symbol of patriotism during the French Revolution of the late 1700s, the possible source for the frequent conflation of the time period of Les Mis

While Les Mis is a great work of historical fiction, author Hugo lived it. Born in 1802, Hugo was 30 years old during the June Rebellion and had an additional 30 years of reflection to pull from when he wrote the original novel in 1862. He died in 1885, a witness to nearly a century of French history.
