MARGARET BARBIERI

Assistant Director Welcome to the second program of The Sarasota Ballet’s 2021 – 2022 Season. As Assistant Director it is my privilege to work with our incredible dancers, our talented Artistic team, and the renowned Choreographers and Repetiteurs who stage many of the ballets we perform.

The program you are about to see, Day & Night, features two exceptionally different works that highlight the breadth of not only The Sarasota Ballet’s repertoire and versatility of our dancers, but also ballet itself.

Sir Peter Wright’s Summertide was originally choreographed on me, David Ashmole, and the dancers of The Sadler’s Wells Royal Ballet in 1976 and was a truly special moment of my career.

This was repeated almost 40 years later when Iain Webb, Sir Peter, and I revived it in 2015.

Watching Summertide return in full this season has brought these wonderful memories back to both myself and the dancers. For the members of the company who recently took their first ‘steps’ into Summertide, it has been remarkable to see them take to Sir Peter’s stunning choreography. I hope that when Mendelssohn’s evocative score begins to play and Dick Bird’s superb sets and costumes are unveiled on stage, you too will feel as enveloped by Summertide’s beauty as we have.

Twyla Tharp is a truly remarkable choreographer, and without a doubt one of the great icons in American dance today. Combining her exquisite choreography with the music of the legendary Frank Sinatra, Nine Sinatra Songs is the perfect closing ballet to any performance. While it is always a pleasure for us to perform Ms. Tharp’s work, it has been a particularly wonderful time working with Shelley Washington who staged this ballet for us. Shelley is not only an amazing artist, but also she has a wealth of incredible knowledge. As an early member of Twyla Tharp Dance and indeed one of the dancers on whom Ms. Tharp created Nine Sinatra Songs, her deep connection to the ballet and indeed dance in America, has inspired all of us. For me personally, I have loved every minute of working with Shelley.

Before the curtain opens on Day & Night, I did want to take this moment to thank you all for your support of The Sarasota Ballet. We still have a way to go before we can truly return to normal, but moments like this, where we can share in the power of live performance makes all the difference.

And with no further ado, please enjoy Sir Peter Wright’s Summertide and Twyla Tharp’s Nine Sinatra Songs.

Program 2 | Day & Night

Sir Peter Wright's

Summertide Ballet Synopsis

Sir Peter Wright’s Summertide is an abstract expression of Mendelssohn’s glorious music from the awakening of a new day, through the languid beauty of an afternoon in the sun, to the exhilaration of a summer’s night.

“Prior to the ballet’s November 2015 American Company Premiere, we had been talking to Sir Peter for quite some time about reviving his ballet Summertide, which he had choreographed in the late seventies for The Sadler’s Wells Royal Ballet. We all had thought that there was neither notation nor film of the ballet and, therefore, it would be very difficult to revive. However, Doug Nicholson from the Birmingham Royal Ballet, knowing of our desire to recreate Summertide, researched the archives and, to our delight, he found a film and a partial notation of the ballet. So it was with great joy and honor that Sir Peter allowed Iain and me to bring this wonderful ballet to Sarasota.

“I remember the middle movement being a very beautiful adagio which he created on David Ashmole, me, Nicholas Millington, and Derek Purnell. Working with Sir Peter was always an inspiring experience and I have very fond memories of working with him on his Giselle, both when he staged it for us in The Sadler’s Wells Royal Ballet and also when he staged his production for Frankfurt Ballet. Similarly, I remember it was a very special time working with Sir Peter on Summertide, which was set to Mendelssohn’s mesmerizing Piano Concerto No 2. I was very excited to work with him on the ballet’s revival, and today so excited for our dancers to have the opportunity to perform this work.”

“How thrilling it will be to see this lost ballet come back to life once more this Season.”

- Margaret Barbieri, Assistant Director of The Sarasota Ballet

Program 2 | Day & Night

Twyla Tharp's

Nine Sinatra Songs Ballet Synopsis

Twyla Tharp describes Nine Sinatra Songs as “a long string of gorgeous, romantic duets.” To any audience who has ever seen it, Nine Sinatra Songs is sheer delight, from start to finish, full of surprises and satisfactions.

Beneath the mirror-ball, seven couples, each differently characterized and gorgeously costumed in different colors, interpret a classic Sinatra recording.

Ms. Tharp intentionally chose Sinatra’s mature recordings from the time “when my parents were still together, when all parents were together, the last time we assumed as a culture that of course men and women lived together and loved for a lifetime.”

So the nostalgic romanticism of the swooning love songs is matched by a cynical awareness that love is not forever, that the moment must be seized, that the crooner’s cliches cannot be trusted. Each of the couples dances a variation on this theme, offering us: infatuation, what Ms. Tharp terms “a bastardized tango,” a latenight smooch, effortlessly smooth harmony, a hectic Latin pastiche, the will-theywon’t-they? of That’s Life, and so on, culminating in a reprise of My Way. Ms. Tharp came straight to Nine Sinatra Songs from intensive research into turnof-the-century ballroom exhibition dancing for the movie Ragtime, and while acknowledging a long-seated desire to evoke the (later) romantic glamour of Astaire and Rogers, she also determined to adjust the traditional partnering by empowering her female dancers into a more proactive or equal role than orthodox ballroom allows.

Suffice it to say that Nine Sinatra Songs must rank among the most popular and universally welcomed of Ms. Tharp’s many successful dances.

Twyla Tharp's

Nine Sinatra Songs Shelley Washington Repetiteur

Shelley Washington studied with Twyla Tharp at Wolftrap Academy, American University, prior to being invited to join Twyla Tharp Dance Company in 1975.

She had previously danced as a member of the Martha Graham Dance Company.

A graduate of Interlochen Arts Academy, Ms. Washington furthered her training at the Juilliard School. In 1977 she performed in the film “Hair” and in 1985 in “Singin’ in the Rain” on Broadway and served as Dance Captain for that Production. In 1987 she was honored with a Bessie Award for Outstanding Performance.

From 1988 to 1992 Ms. Washington joined the American Ballet Theater in Association with Twyla Tharp as a Soloist and Rehearsal Director. In 1993 she was the Rehearsal Director for Twyla Tharp’s “Cutting Up” tour starring Ms. Tharp and Mikhail Baryshnikov, Twyla Tharp and Dancers City Center Season in New York City and Tharp Dances’ International Tour. Ms. Washington continues to work with Ms. Tharp as a Repetiteur, Setting, Staging and Directing Ballets for various companies including Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, American Ballet Theater, Australian Ballet, Ballet Austin, Ballet British Columbia, Ballet Rambert, Ballet San Jose, Birmingham Royal Ballet, Boston Ballet Company, Colorado Ballet, Dutch National, Hubbard Street Dance Chicago, Joffrey Ballet, Kansas City Ballet, Martha Graham Dance Company, Miami City Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, The Royal Ballet, Royal Danish Ballet, Royal New Zealand Ballet, Royal Swedish Ballet, Sarasota Ballet and Zurich Ballet.
