Created for a company under Twyla Tharp’s direction, this mystery-plot dramatic ballet
revolves around a central ballerina in red. She has been described as Persephone, who in
Greek mythology, was the Queen of the Underworld. Her choreographic language, including
a unique and unorthodox use of pointe-work, gives the character a vibrant, yet dramatic presence. A “society” of five individuals surrounds and interacts with her, without entering her
world. Each “scene,” to one of Bartók’s brief violin duets, stands discretely on its own, all the
while building upon those that have come before. In each scene, there is a replaying
of a crime of murder.
For Tharp, Noir maintains the air of a cat playing with a dead mouse throughout.
Première: September 13, 1994, Twyla Tharp Dance Co., Washington

Notes on Aspects of Andy
from composer David Baker
This work was commissioned by and written for my dear friend and colleague James
Campbell. It is dedicated to the memory of Andrew Mayne Upper, an exceptional young man
who passed away in February 1998 and whose courage, wit, and love of music were well known
to both the Campbell and Baker families.
The compositional language of this piece combines elements and techniques of
classical music with influences from my African-American roots, particularly the blues and
jazz. The work is in three movements, all of which incorporate improvisational opportunities
for the clarinet, piano, and bass. In tonight’s performance, we hear only the first movement.
Choreographic Biographies
George Balanchine (1904-1983), Allegro Brillante & Glinka Pas de Trois.
George Balanchine, regarded as the foremost contemporary choreographer
in the world of ballet, came to the United States in late 1933 following an
early career throughout Europe. The son of a composer, Balanchine early in
life had gained a knowledge of music that far exceeded that of most of his
fellow choreographers. Collaborating with Lincoln Kirstein, Balanchine cofounded the School of American Ballet in 1934 and formed the American
Ballet in 1935. The American Ballet evolved into Ballet Society in 1946 and
then premièred as the New York City Ballet in 1948, which serves as the company’s name to
this day.
Balanchine’s authoritative catalogue of works lists 465 and was the recipient of several
awards. In 1978, he was one of five recipients of the first Kennedy Center Honors, presented
by President Carter at the White House. He was presented by Queen Margrethe II of Denmark
with a Knighthood of the Order of Dannebrog, First Class. In 1980, Balanchine was honored
by the National Society of Arts and Letters with its Gold Medal of Merit and the Austrian
government with its Austrian Cross of Honor for Science and Letters, First Class. In 1983,
Balanchine was granted the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest honor that can be
conferred upon a civilian in the United States.
President Ronald Reagan praised Balanchine’s genius, saying he had “inspired millions
with his stage choreography ... and amazed a diverse population through his talents.”
Joshua Bergasse, The Baker Dances.
Joshua Bergasse returns to IU after choreographing Most Happy Fella in
2009 and West Side Story in 2010. Some other credits as director/
choreographer include BC/EFA’s “Gypsy of the Year” Opening number for
2007 and 2008 (New AmsterdamTheatre), Solo Pido - Bianca Marroquin in
concert (Mexico City), and West Side Story (North Carolina Theatre.) As a
choreographer, his credits include Bomb-itty of Errors (Off-Broadway),
Captain Louie (Off-Broadway), Fame the Musical (National & International
Tours), West Side Story (Stratford Festival, Barrington Stage Company, Fulton Theatre, and
assistant for the Gap commercials!), Carousel (Barrington Stage), La Cage aux Folles and Beehive
(Riverside Theatre), Smokey Joe’s Café (AMTSJ, Maltz Jupiter Theatre, Riverside), Tommy and
South Pacific (Cherry County), and, most recently, the rock musical Bright Lights, Big City at
Marymount Manhattan College. Bergasse has performed in the Broadway and/or national
touring companies of Movin’ Out, Hairspray, The Life, and West Side Story. He is on faculty at
the Broadway Dance Center (BDC), is the artistic director for the Musical Theater Performance
Project at BDC, and has been a guest artist at Indiana University, Marymount Manhattan
College, James Madison University, Shenandoah University, Creighton University, and the
University of California Satellite program.
Twyla Tharp, Noir.
Twyla Tharp was born in Portland, Ind., and at age 10, moved with her
family to California, where she studied dance at the Vera Lynn School of
Dance. While attending Barnard College in New York City, she began
dancing with Martha Graham and Merce Cunningham. Upon graduation,
she joined the Paul Taylor Dance Company and, in 1965, formed her own
company, Twyla Tharp Dance. With this company, Tharp began putting her
signature on choreography, combining ballet technique with natural
movements like running, walking, and skipping. While modern dance had historically aspired
to high seriousness and spirituality, Tharp’s work was humorous and edgy. In 1988, Twyla
Tharp Dance merged with American Ballet Theatre, where Tharp created more than a dozen
works including Push Comes to Shove featuring Mikhail Baryshnikov. Since the 1980s, Tharp
choreographed pieces for many major ballet and modern companies, including the Paris Opera
Ballet, the Royal Ballet, New York City Ballet, the Boston Ballet, the Joffrey Ballet, Hubbard
Street Dance, and the Martha Graham Dance Company. In 1991, Tharp reunited her
company, Twyla Tharp Dance, with Mikhail Baryshnikov joining the group in a program titled
Cutting Up. The work enjoyed one of the most successful tours in the history of contemporary
dance. In 2002, Tharp and Billy Joel’s Tony Award-winning musical, Movin’ Out, premièred on
Broadway and continues to tour the world today. Tharp has created more than 135 pieces,
choreographed for five Hollywood movies, directed and choreographed two Broadway shows,
and written two books. She is the recipient of two Emmy Awards, a Tony Award, 17 honorary
doctorates, the 2004 National Medal of Arts, and a 2008 Kennedy Center Honor. Tharp’s
works are among dance’s most sought-after pieces and are performed by major dance companies
around the world.
