About Ballet West From Balanchine to Bournonville, and Petipa to Tharp, Ballet West boasts a rich and varied repertoire, elegant and versatile artists, and an American style and legacy that is as dynamic, expansive, and unexpected as the Rocky Mountain region it represents. Ballet West has toured the world several times over, presenting the very best in American classical ballet.

WILLAM CHRISTENSEN, CO-FOUNDER OF BALLET WEST

Ballet West was established in Salt Lake City in 1963. Willam F. Christensen was the company’s first artistic director, co-founding the company together with Utah’s “First Lady of the Arts,” Glenn Walker Wallace. In 1951, Christensen had established the first ballet department in an American university at The University of Utah, and with the tireless assistance of Mrs. Enid Cosgriff, this program grew into the Utah Civic Ballet, Ballet West’s first incarnation. But this was not the first ballet company Willam Christensen founded. Along with his brothers, Lew and Harold, Christensen made history by establishing the oldest ballet company in the western United States, the San Francisco Ballet. There, he went on to create the first full-length American productions of Coppélia, Swan Lake, and his evergreen production of The Nutcracker, which remains in Ballet West’s repertoire to this day.

With 38 company members, 16 second company members, and a thriving academy that trains dancers of all ages, many of whom have gone on to professional careers with Ballet West and companies around the world, Ballet West ranks among the top professional ballet companies in America. Since its inception, the Company has had five artistic directors—its founder Willam Christensen, Bruce Marks, John Hart, Jonas Kage, and currently Adam Sklute, each of whom has helped to build Ballet West’s unique and expansive profile.

GLENN WALKER WALLACE, CO-FOUNDER OF BALLET WEST

For more than 50 years, Willam Christensen and Ballet West have developed and influenced innumerable great artists in the ballet world. Some notable figures include Bart Cook, Finis Jhung, Jay Jolley, Victoria Morgan, Tomm Ruud, Michael Smuin, Richard Tanner, and Kent Stowell.

With an eclectic and ever expanding outlook, Ballet West is truly an American pioneer in the world of dance.

CHOREOGRAPHIC FESTIVAL 20–21 SEASON

From the Artistic Director Welcome to Ballet West’s fourth annual Choreographic Festival.

This Festival is designed to showcase new, world premiere choreography for the ballet stage. It is a program where the choreographers and the audience are emersed in the creative process and given the opportunity to take chances both creatively and as an audience.

Last year we had to cancel our planned festival due to the pandemic, so it is with great joy that we are now able to bring it back. Over the past few years we have been featuring Ballet West as well as companies from around the world. However, for this program I decided to keep things closer to home and bring the Choreographic Festival back to our earlier “new works program” model – Innovations. So, in the style of Innovations, we are presenting four world premieres by company Artists and one world premiere by a renowned guest choreographer. As with all the programs for this season, the show is presented succinctly without intermission – only the briefest of pauses between works. Making Festival ‘21 particularly noteworthy is three of the new creations have musical scores specifically commissioned for, or created incollaboration with the choreographers.

We open the program with Matthew Neenan’s The Solo Year. Matthew’s is a unique and fascinating voice in American dance today. Classically trained, he is the co-founder of the contemporary ballet company Ballet X, and has choreographed for companies around the world. In 2014, he created The Sixth Beauty for Ballet West, which received wonderful notice both here in Salt Lake City and in New York City when I included it on our tour to The Joyce Theater later that year. This new creation is a look at relationships and feelings through a baroque prism. Filled with texture and filigree and modulating between highly stylized classical form and nuanced modern movement, Neenan elegantly explores the emotional challenges of this past year with this stunning work for two quartets of dancers who intricately weave a tapestry through dance.

Next is the premiere of former Ballet West Demi Soloist Trevor Naumann’s Resist Much, Obey Little. The cerebral and visceral qualities of Trevor’s work make it so interesting to me. Movement appears to happen in a seeming random fashion but is actually strictly choreographed. For this work, Trevor collaborates again with composer Boaz Roberts whose almost improvisational jazz-infused score guides a work that deals with the challenges of humanity. The ballet is 10

From the Artistic Director certainly intellectual but also pure dance – quirky yet grounded, both funny and profound.

Retiring Principal Artist Katherine Lawrence has been a backbone of the company since 2004 and now we are blessed to have her bring her knowledge and artistry to the Frederick Quinney Lawson Ballet West Academy as she transitions to Principal Faculty. As an intimate farewell, her peers have come together to create this gem of a solo, With Assurance. Co-choreographed by Principal Artists Emily Adams, Adrian Fry, Rex Tilton, and newly named Principal Katlyn Addison, and, with a specially composed score by Company Pianist Nicholas Maughan, the ballet is a loving tribute to a wonderful artist and person.

That solo is followed by the world premiere of a meditative, dream-like pas de deux

by Katlyn Addison. Eden is a deeply felt duet. A love affair. A story of two people and their journey throughout life. Katlyn has skillfully created a relationship that feels instantly recognizable but makes one ask what the dynamic is between the two dancers. This exploration movingly brings the audience in.

Finally, we present the dynamic world premiere of The Thing with Feathers choreographed by Emily Adams and co-conceived with composer Katy Jarzebowski.

Katy is an alumna of The Sundance Institute Music Film Program and this collaboration, one I have been working on for years, marks the first time Ballet West and Sundance have teamed up. The result of Emily and Katy’s collaboration is powerful. Emily has grown over the years into a sophisticated choreographer with a clear vision and voice. She propels dancers fearlessly through space with surprising formations and movements that are grounded in classical ballet. While this ballet is abstract on one level, it is also an answer to this past year. Taking from the line of the Emily Dickenson poem Hope Is the Thing with Feathers, its pulse comes from the musical score, which drives the action with an exciting cinematic edge.

All the works in this year’s Choreographic Festival are products of this past year.

After a year filled with challenges and sometimes despair, it is remarkable that these ballets are filled with so much heart, soul, and joy. This past year, when Ballet West strived to continue to produce our art – sometimes desperately so – this final program is a testament to the perseverance and tenacity of artists. It is a tribute to the triumph of the human spirit. We are grateful for our audiences who have stuck with us and who are excited for the future.

Thank you for joining us. We hope you enjoy!

Adam Sklute Since 2007, Adam Sklute has expanded Ballet West’s outlook, repertoire, and visibility with exciting Company and world premieres, increased touring, heightened public exposure, and greater focus on the Ballet West Academy. He began his career with The Joffrey Ballet, rising through the ranks from dancer to Associate Director. His stewardship of Ballet West has been marked by both financial growth and elevated artistry, and was the subject of The CW Network’s docu-drama, Breaking Pointe, which aired for two seasons. From September 2016 to October 2017, Sklute took on the dual position of CEO and Artistic Director overseeing both administrative and artistic operations of Ballet West. An internationally sought after teacher and adjudicator, Sklute has received numerous awards, including Utah’s Enlightened 50 (2014), The Bronze Minuteman Award for Outstanding Service to Utah and The Nation (2015), and most recently Utah Diversity Connection’s Business Award for outstanding commitment to diversity initiatives.

From the Executive Director Dear Ballet West Family, Welcome to the Choreographic Festival. I am proud of this program as it represents the innovative spirit of Ballet West. Some may not consider ballet companies particularly inventive or entrepreneurial--after all, our art form is well over 400 years old! However, as one of our most loyal patrons, I want to give you an update of the ways Ballet West has adapted to the extraordinary circumstances of the past year.

Just two weeks ago, Ballet West presented the virtual Spring Soirée, featuring recently filmed ballets from the stage alongside poignant interviews with all of our retiring dancers. While I would have loved to be gathered in the theater, I believe viewers enjoyed the creativity of the hour-long presentation. I am happy to report we achieved our financial goal, some of which will support needs and merit-based scholarships at the Frederick Quinney Lawson Ballet West Academy.

Before March of last year, most people had never heard of Zoom, now it is an intrinsic part of our day.

Our education and community outreach program, I CAN DO, which teaches choreography and dance to fifth graders has adapted to this new technology to reach thousands of students along the Wasatch front.

Usually in May, these kids are dancing their hearts out in school auditoriums for their parents. We did not want to deprive them of that experience, so our friends at SpyHop, a nonprofit that teaches about film and technology to youth, will be filming these performances for a digital showcase.

Finally, just last week we premiered the first in a nine-part documentary series, In The Balance: Ballet for a Lost Year. The filmmakers had unfettered access to the Ballet West studios and stage as the Company carefully went about presenting the fall program. The resulting film is exciting and dramatic. It is an intimate,

Michael Scolamiero joined Ballet West in 2017 after an extensive international search led by Michael Kaiser, President Emeritus of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Mr. Scolamiero previously served as Executive Director of Miami City Ballet for three years, during which time the organization achieved a significant reduction in debt, as well as robust growth in ticket revenue, contributions, and touring income. Prior to Miami City Ballet, Mr. Scolamiero was Pennsylvania Ballet’s Executive Director for 17 years, the longest tenure in the Company’s history and among the longest of any leader of a major ballet company. During his tenure, Mr. Scolamiero led the organization’s first capital campaign that raised $11.9 million (against a $10 million goal) to build an endowment and fund repertoire expansion. At Ballet West, Mr. Scolamiero is set to implement a newly completed strategic plan and excited to guide a growing and robust Company.

12

From the Executive Director behind-the-scenes look at how Ballet West thoughtfully staged new works as well as Twyla Tharp’s Nine Sinatra Songs.

It has been a difficult year, but the resilience of this company is truly inspiring. It is a testament to the innovative nature of Ballet West, the need for an artist to create, and the yearning our patrons have for ballet. Thank you for being with us every step of the way and for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Michael Scolamiero Executive Director
