Choreographers
George Balanchine (1904-1983), Donizetti Variations. Born in
St. Petersburg, Russia, George Balanchine is regarded as the foremost
contemporary choreographer in the world of ballet. He came to the
United States in late 1933, at the age of 29, accepting the invitation
of the young American arts patron Lincoln Kirstein (1907-96),
whose great passions included the dream of creating a ballet
company in America. At Balanchine’s behest, Kirstein was also prepared to
support the formation of an American academy of ballet that would eventually
rival the long-established schools of Europe.
This was the School of American Ballet, founded in 1934, the first product
of the Balanchine-Kirstein collaboration. Several ballet companies directed by the
two were created and dissolved in the years that followed, while Balanchine
found other outlets for his choreography. Eventually, with a performance on
October 11, 1948, New York City Ballet was born. Balanchine served as its ballet
master and principal choreographer from 1948 until his death in 1983.
Balanchine’s more than 400 dance works include Serenade (1934), Concerto
Barocco (1941), Le Palais de Cristal, later renamed Symphony in C (1947), Orpheus
(1948), The Nutcracker (1954), Agon (1957), Symphony in Three Movements (1972),
Stravinsky Violin Concerto (1972), Vienna Waltzes (1977), Ballo della Regina (1978),
and Mozartiana (1981). His final ballet, a new version of Stravinsky’s Variations
for Orchestra, was created in 1982.
He also choreographed for films, operas, revues, and musicals. Among his
best-known dances for the stage is Slaughter on Tenth Avenue, originally created for
Broadway’s On Your Toes (1936). The musical was later made into a movie.
A major artistic figure of the twentieth century, Balanchine revolutionized
the look of classical ballet. Taking classicism as his base, he heightened, quickened,
expanded, streamlined, and even inverted the fundamentals of the 400-year- old
language of academic dance. This had an inestimable influence on the growth
of dance in America. Although at first his style seemed particularly suited to the
energy and speed of American dancers, especially those he trained, his ballets
are now performed by all the major classical ballet companies throughout the world.
Marius Petipa (1819-1910), La Bayadère (Act II) “The Kingdom
of the Shades.” Marius Petipa, the “father of classical ballet,” began
his dance training at age seven with his father, Jean Petipa, the French
dancer and teacher. At the age of 16, he became principal dancer at
the theatre in Nantes, where he also produced several short ballets.
He danced for over 20 years as the principal dancer in Spain, Paris,
Bordeaux, and Russia, where he moved in 1847 and remained for the rest of his life.
Considered an excellent dancer and partner, his acting, stage manners, and pantomime
were help up as examples for many generations of dancers.
In 1869, Petipa became principal ballet master of the Imperial Theatre in St.
Petersburg. The value of his accomplishments is astounding: in his 30 years at the
Imperial Theatre, he produced 50 new ballets, revived 17 older ones, and arranged
the dancing in 35 operas. Some of his most famous ballets are still being performed
today: Don Quixote, La Bayadère, Swan Lake, and Raymonda, to name a few. Also,
he is considered to have laid the foundation for the entire school of Russian ballet.
Petipa is considered one of the greatest choreographers of all time. He researched
the subject matter of the ballets he staged, making careful and detailed preparations
for each production and working closely with the designer and composer. He elevated
the Russian ballet to international fame and laid the cornerstone for twentiethcentury ballet. His classicism integrated the purity of the French school with Italian
Virtuosity.
Paul Taylor (born 1930), Airs. Paul Taylor is the last living member of the pantheon
that created America’s indigenous art of modern dance. At an age when most artists’
best work is behind them, Taylor continues to win acclaim for the vibrancy, relevance,
and power of his recent dances as well as his classics. As prolific as ever he continues
to offer cogent observations on life’s complexities while tackling some of society’s
thorniest issues. He may propel his dancers through space for the sheer beauty of it or
use them to wordlessly illuminate war, spirituality, sexuality, morality, and mortality.

Taylor was born in 1930 and grew up in and around Washington, D.C. He was
a swimmer and student of painting at Syracuse University in the late 1940s until he
discovered dance, which he began studying at Juilliard. By 1954, he had assembled a
small company of dancers and was making his own works. A commanding performer
despite his late start, he joined the Martha Graham Dance Company in 1955 for the
first of seven seasons as a soloist while continuing to choreograph his own troupe.
People throughout the world have enjoyed live modern dance performances due
largely to the far-reaching tours that Taylor pioneered as a virtuoso dancer in the
1950s. Having made his first dance in 1954, he has amassed a growing collection of
133 dances performed by his celebrated company of 16 dancers and the six-member
Taylor 2. He has set movement to music so memorably that for many people, it
is impossible to hear certain orchestral works and popular songs and not think
of his dances. As the subject of the documentary Dancemaker and author of the
autobiography Private Domain and the essay “Why I Make Dances,” he has shed light
on the mysteries of the creative process as few artists have. Hailed for uncommon
musicality, Taylor has set dances to ragtime, reggae, rock, tango, Tin Pan Alley, and
barbershop quartets; works by Baroque masters and iconoclasts; monotonous time
announcements; plaintive loon calls; and hysterical laughter. While he has covered a
breathtaking range of topics, recurring themes include the natural world and man’s
place within it; love and sexuality, life, death, and what may follow; and iconic
moments in the history of the nation.
Taylor has received every important honor given to artists in the United States.
In 1992, he was recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors and received an Emmy
Award for Speaking in Tongue, produced by WNET/New York the previous year. He
was awarded the National Medal of Arts by President Clinton in 1993. In 1995, he
received the Algur H. Meadows Award for Excellence in the Arts and was named one
of 50 prominent Americans honored in recognition of their outstanding achievement
by the Library of Congress’s Office of Scholarly Programs. He is the recipient of three
Guggenheim Fellowships and honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degrees from several
universities, including The Juilliard School and Duke University. Awards for lifetime
achievement include a MacArthur Foundation Fellowship, Samuel H. Scripps
American Dance Festival Award, the New York State Governor’s Arts Award, and the
New York City Mayor’s Award of Honor for Arts and Culture. Due to his exceptional
contributions to French culture, Taylor was awarded France’s highest honor, the
Légion d’honneur in 2000.
He remains among the most sought-after choreographers working today,
commissioned by ballet companies and presenting organizations the world over.

dancer and ballet mistress, but also the artistic director. Lucena went on to serve as
the academic director for the Choreographic Center for the Arts and the Arts
Foundation in Barquisimeto.
Lucena’s extensive repertoire includes such ballets as Don Quixote, Le Corsaire,
Giselle, Coppélia, The Nutcracker, The Firebird, Romeo and Juliet, Les Sylphides, Blue
Bird, Diana and Acteon, La Fille mal Gardée, Flames of Paris, and contemporary
works by Servy Gallardo, among others. During her professional career, she had the
opportunity to participate in many international ballet festivals and ballet pedagogy
seminars in such places as Varna, Bulgaria; Moscow, Russia; Jackson, Miss.; and her
home country of Venezuela, cultivating an even broader palette in different ballet
lineages and teaching methods.
Lucena was invited in 1994 to join the artistic staff of Miami City Ballet, one of
the top-ranked ballet companies in the United States. She initially taught for both the
Miami City Ballet Company and the School, and after three years, she was promoted
to ballet mistress for the Company. She continued to teach classes but also rehearsed
and coached the company, whose repertoire includes many of George Balanchine’s
works. While at Miami City Ballet, she also served as children’s ballet mistress for the
company’s production of Balanchine’s The Nutcracker, in which she was responsible
for auditioning, teaching, and coaching four different casts of children. Not only
were there 100 students in each cast, but there were five different productions in five
different South Florida counties. She continued her work with the Miami City Ballet
School alongside her work with the company and was deeply involved in its annual
student workshop.
In 2001, Lucena joined Gulfshore Ballet and shared artistic responsibilities
with company founder Melinda Roy, who is a former principal dancer with New
York City Ballet. Over the next several years, Lucena had many guest engagements
as a professional teacher around the United States and abroad, most notably being
invited as a guest teacher at The Royal Ballet School in London. In the summers,
she is on faculty at the Chautauqua Institution, where she serves as ballet mistress
for the Dance Program and teaches, rehearses, and coaches many young, talented
ballet students. She also teaches for the resident ballet company at the Chautauqua
Institution, North Carolina Dance Theatre, a company directed by former IU ballet
faculty Jean-Pierre Bonnefoux and Patricia McBride.
The Jacobs School of Music has invited Lucena as a guest faculty member a
number of times since her first position here in 2004. That fall, she taught classes and
served as ballet mistress for Indiana University Ballet Theater’s (IUBT) performance
of George Balanchine’s Sonatine. For the Fall Ballet of 2005, IUBT performed her
original choreography Winds from the South, with music of Ernesto Lecuona, and
for that same performance, she also staged Victor Gsovsky’s Grand Pas Classique.
The following year at the Fall Ballet, Lucena staged Marius Petipa’s Paquita. In the
spring of 2012, she worked with ballet chair Michael Vernon to stage IUBT’s new
full-length production of Tchaikovsky’s The Sleeping Beauty, and in the fall of 2013,
