FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Welcome to Innovations 2014!

Our annual Innovations series was the first program I created for Ballet West when I became Artistic Director just over seven years ago in March of 2007. To me, it remains one of our most fascinating, thought provoking, and enjoyable performances.

The concept behind it is simple: provide a platform for new and untried ballet and give Ballet West artists and emerging local, national, and international choreographers an opportunity to experiment and create.

It has been so gratifying to watch as every year a different group of dancer/ choreographers produce unique works that test the boundaries of what ballet choreography can be. It is great to experience how returning choreographers develop and produce ever more sophisticated pieces and to see how new choreographers shape and mold their works upon the remarkable gifts of our artists.

This year, I am proud to introduce to the Ballet West stage Mr. Matthew Neenan. Neenan was a dancer with The Pennsylvania Ballet and went on to become their resident choreographer. He is the co-founder of Philadelphia-based BalletX. He has received numerous awards for his work and has choreographed ballets for companies around the country. Matthew Neenan is a wonderfully musical and inventive choreographer; for his world premiere, he has chosen a fascinating piece of music by Argentine composer Alberto Ginastera. I am excited to see what he does with this score and with our BW dancers.

Returning as a choreographer this year is Ballet West Principal Artist Christopher Ruud. Ruud created a small work, One, for our first 2007 Innovations program. Then in 2011, I invited him to create a larger scale work. The result was the highly successful Trapped, which we repeated last year. So successful was Trapped that I nominated Ruud for the 2012 New York Choreographers Fellowship, which he won. Now, he returns with a beautiful new piece, Great Souls. Set to the music of Beethoven, juxtaposing two groups of dancers, the first dances with a classical approach, and the other, in a more contemporary style to create an overall seamless whole.

Two more BW Company Artists return as well this year, Emily Adams and Christopher Anderson. Both have created twice for the Innovations stage and each time they have presented intriguing explorations into movement, ballet, and musicality. Each of their previous works has been extremely different from the one before, as they delve into myriad possibilities. This year, once again they are approaching their works with completely different outlooks.

Finally, I am excited that BW Artist Tyler Gum will be creating his first ballet on Ballet West. He too is developing his own unique style and choreographic identity.

This is what is so thrilling to me about our Innovations series. Being able to experience how artists individually interpret music and play with the dance vocabulary to create a new and innovative language.

Thank you all for your patronage. We are grateful!

FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR With great pleasure I welcome you to this final production of our 50th Anniversary season!

Ballet West strives to present great, classical ballets; historical masterpieces; and new, cutting-edge creations that celebrate the past, present, and future. We began this season’s journey with an exquisite revival of Ballet West’s founder Willam F. Christensen’s The Firebird. As we finish our 50th anniversary season and look upon our next 50 years, it is appropriate that Innovations be the conclusion to a fantastic year’s journey and an inspiring hint to our future. As you are about to see, Innovations is a wonderful program which provides a forum for exciting up-and-coming choreographers to showcase and develop their creative talents and ingenuity, as well as respectfully pay tribute to the path that brought them here.

Ballet West’s longevity is a statement to its past and current members and the overall community.

Because of you, we are able to look to the future with great anticipation and excitement. From next season’s opening of the state-of-the-art Jessie Eccles Quinney Ballet Centre to new and exciting world premieres that will grace our stage this coming season, Ballet West is truly your company.

Your support is vital to the continued success of Ballet West, its programming, and art form. Through your performance attendance and financial support we are able to bring you the absolutely best works and most talented artists possible. If you haven’t already, please take a moment and renew your season subscription for the 2014-2015 season and embark with us as we preserve the next 50 year legacy of Ballet West.

I thank you sincerely for your commitment, preservation, and watchfulness over one of the finest and truly world-class ballet companies.

LEADERSHIP

Adam Sklute Artistic Director

Adam Sklute has brought Ballet West national and international recognition as Artistic Director. Since he began with Ballet West in March 2007, the company has appeared twice at Washington D.C.’s Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts (Ballet Across America Festival in 2008 with Balanchine’s Serenade and a seven-show run in 2012 of Willam Christensen’s The Nutcracker with six sold-out performances); twice at New York City Center’s Fall for Dance (in 2009 with Nijinska’s Les Biches and in 2012 with the Grand Pas from Paquita); three times in Chicago (at the Chicago Dancing Festival in 2010 with Serenade, in 2011 with Jiří Kylián’s Sinfonietta, and in 2013 with The Sleeping Beauty and a Repertory Program at the famed Auditorium Theatre); and twice in Las Vegas in collaborative programs with Nevada Ballet Theatre. Ballet West has also graced the cover of Dance Magazine twice – in 2009 and 2013 – and has garnered rave reviews from The New York Times for The Treasures of the Ballets Russes and The Nutcracker. In addition, the Company was recently the subject of the docu-drama “Breaking Pointe” for two seasons.

Sklute has introduced Ballet West to such renowned contemporary choreographers as Jiří Kylián, Mark Morris, and Twyla Tharp, among others, 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, Sklute has conceived and produced new versions of Swan Lake and The Sleeping Beauty and developed Ballet West’s wildly successful new works program, Innovations. Sklute danced with the Joffrey Ballet starting in 1985 and rose to the ranks of Associate Director from 2005 to 2007. He is an Adjunct Professor of Ballet at The University of Utah and a teacher, lecturer, coach and judge of ballet worldwide.

At the Works of Art “Holiday Party Arty” in Colorado Springs, Colorado, he won a Juror’s Award and sold one of his paintings, titled “Setting Sun.” Also a published illustrator, he created visuals for D.J.

Christopher Anderson

Ballet West Soloist/ Choreographer, Paths

A native of Baltimore, Maryland, Christopher Anderson began his studies at the Baltimore School for the Arts and continued at the Purchase College Conservatory of Dance. Christopher joined Ballet West, from Boston Ballet, in 2001 and is currently a Soloist with the company. This is Christopher’s third work for the Innovations program. His first work Intonation featured the photography of Erik Ostling and was set to the music of Michael Nyman.

The second work, Behind Closed Doors, featured Utah’s own violinist Aubrey Woods. Paths, his third work for Innovations, will incorporate members of the audience.

Christopher is extremely thankful, not only for the opportunities at Ballet West to dance in new works, but also for the choreographers who have created the work. New work is an invaluable experience for any dancer, but also invaluable for aspiring choreographers. It has made for an unparalleled learning experience and has, without a doubt, helped shape his choreographic voice. Christopher’s goal with all of his works is to create an environment that encourages a unique performance each night. Unique for the audience, and unique for the artists.
