The New York Theatre Ballet performs at 91ӣ����Ƶ on November 2 in its tenth appearance in the Edgecombe Performance Series.

by Briyana Storm Baker

The New York Theatre Ballet (NYTB) will come to 91ӣ����Ƶ on Thursday, November 2, to perform a series of ballets by legendary choreographers.

This is the tenth year that NYTB has participated in ECC’s Edgecombe Performance Series, which is currently in its seventeenth season.

The performance will begin at 7 p.m. in Keihin Auditorium, located in the Fleming Building on the Tarboro campus. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 for children.

Under the direction of NYTB Artistic Director Steven Melendez, NYTB will perform the works of David Gordon, Amanda Treiber, Richard Holden, and Merce Cunningham. Also, NYTB will offer Between the Acts, a community engagement program where Melendez spends time between the pieces giving context for each ballet.

In addition, ���۰յ�’s Once Upon a Ballet series will present The Firebird and Scramble at 11 a.m. on Friday, November 3, for elementary students in Edgecombe County.

“I am honored to come to Tarboro to perform for the community,” says Steven Melendez. “For many people, especially in rural areas, dance can be seen as culturally inaccessible. I strive to break through those stereotypes and show my audience that they can be represented through ballet. Dance is for everybody, and it is not enough to believe that. My company wants to make it happen.”

���۰յ�’s Legends and Visionaries will introduce audiences to a diverse range of ballets starting with The Firebird by Richard Holden. Originally created in 1910 by Michel Fokine, The Firebird is a mesh of several Russian fairy tales that create a captivating narrative for audiences.

The Firebird features music composed by Igor Stravinsky, with costume design by Sylvia Taalsohn Nolan. The tree that is part of the ballet was designed and constructed by Keith Michael.

The performance will also feature A Plain Romance Explained / Keith’s Solo, with choreography and text by David Gordon and staged by Karen Graham. This ballet received its world premiere in 1984 in New York City, featuring performers who speak while dancing and challenging the conventions of traditional ballet. A Plain Romance Explained / Keith’s Solo is performed with permission from the Pick Up Performance Company.

Legends and Visionaries will also feature Amanda Treiber’s Sideslip. Created in 2022, this contemporary piece features a collaboration between choreographers and artists. Sideslip includes interactions between performers and artwork, showcasing a dynamic relationship between dance and art as mediums of creativity.

The art featured in Sideslip is created by Marcy Rosenblat, with the musical pieces “Chorale,” “Image De Moreau,” and “Deuxième Chorale” created by Louis Andriessen. The recording artist for the ballet is Ralph van Raat.

���۰յ�’s Legends and Visionaries will round off the performance with Scramble, choreographed by the late Merce Cunningham. Scramble was first performed at the Ravinia Festival in Chicago, Illinois, in July 1967, and quickly became an iconic piece in modern ballet. Scramble was a unique work for its time because it comprised eighteen sections, which could be done in different orders or have omissions of sections.

The music for Scramble is called “Activities for Orchestra” by Toshi Ichiyanagi. Costumes are reconstructed by Carmella Lauer, after the design by Frank Stella. Scramble is staged by Jennifer Goggans with lighting by Beverly Emmons.

Tickets for the NYTB performance at ECC are $25 for adults and $15 for children.

Tickets are available at the ECC Box Office on the Tarboro campus, by contacting tickets@edgecome.edu, or online at (keyword: edgecombe).

Making its ninth appearance in the Edgecombe Performance Series, the New York Theatre Ballet performs at 91ӣ����Ƶ on October 6.

In its first return to Tarboro since 2019, New York Theatre Ballet (NYTB) will perform signature works by master choreographers on Thursday, October 6, at 91ӣ����Ƶ.

This year marks the ninth year that NYTB has performed in ECC’s Edgecombe Performance Series. This event marks the first performance in the 2022-2023 series.

The October 6 performance begins at 7 p.m. in Keihin Auditorium in the Fleming Building on the Tarboro campus. The event is free, but tickets are required.

Under the artistic direction of Steven Melendez, NYTB will perform the works of Agnes de Mille, Antony Tudor, Martha Clarke, and James Whiteside. As part of a new initiative, NYTB will offer Between the Acts, a community engagement program, during intermissions.

In addition, the company’s acclaimed Once Upon a Ballet series will present The Alice-in-Wonderland Follies at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, October 7, for Edgecombe elementary school students.

“New York Theatre Ballet has been making our annual trip to Tarboro, North Carolina, into the 91ӣ����Ƶ theater for nearly a decade,” says NYTB Artistic Director Steven Melendez. “Returning this year feels like going home. I am especially excited to return there in my new role as artistic director and am looking forward to sharing the transformative power of dance.”

On October 6, ���۰յ�’s Legends & Visionaries introduces audiences to a range of choreographic styles beginning with a suite of dances created by Agnes de Mille for the 1945 Broadway classic Carousel. Credited with transforming Broadway musicals in the 1940s and ’50s by blending both classical and modern dance, de Mille brought her signature style and use of gesture to this legendary Rodgers and Hammerstein musical.

Staged for NYTB by Gemze de Lappe with costumes by Sylvia Taalsohn Nolan, Carousel is a “don’t miss” event. The suite of dances from Carousel entered the repertory of NYTB in 2007.

The program will also feature Antony Tudor’s masterful Dark Elegies, an eloquent, somber ballet set to Gustav Mahler’s song cycle “Kindertotenlieder” (“Songs on the Death of Children”), with costumes by Raymond Sovey, after Nadia Benois.

Dark Elegies, considered Tudor’s finest work, expresses the raw emotion of a tight-knit community faced with the inexplicable loss of their beloved children. The ballet was given its world premiere in 1937 by Ballet Rambert in London and entered ���۰յ�’s repertory in 2013. Dark Elegies is staged for NYTB by Amanda McKerrow and John Gardner.

���۰յ�’s Legends & Visionaries program will round out with two contemporary works, The Garden of Villandry, choreographed by Robert Barnett, Felix Blaska, and Martha Clarke, and Mamborama by James Whiteside, principal dancer with American Ballet Theatre.

The Garden of Villandry, a Victorian pas de trois, is set to Franz Schubert’s Piano Trio No. 1 in B flat, with costumes by Jane Greenwood. The ballet will be staged for NYTB by Clarke.

Whiteside’s joyful Mamborama, premiered by NYTB last spring, is set to Tito Puente’s Mambo Gallego and features costume design by Eric Winterling. Speaking of his inspiration for Mamborama, Whiteside says, “Tito Puente’s music sparks so much joy and nostalgia in me. I’ve wanted to make dances to it since I was a teenager.”

New York Theatre Ballet’s Once Upon a Ballet series presents The Alice-in-Wonderland Follies on Friday, October 7, at 10:30 a.m., for Edgecombe elementary school students. Follow Alice’s adventures through Wonderland as she meets some of the most beloved characters in children’s literature. Presented in a vaudeville setting, this eclectic one-hour ballet draws on many different dance forms – from Irish step dancing to African dance and classical ballet – all of which combine to make a highly entertaining show.

Choreographed by Keith Michael, The Alice-in-Wonderland Follies features sets by Gillian Bradshaw and costumes by Sylvia Taalsohn Nolan.

The NYTB performance at ECC on October 6 is free, but reserved seating tickets are required.

Tickets are available through the ECC Box Office on the Tarboro campus, by contacting tickets@edgecombe.edu, or online at , keyword: Edgecombe.
