A MADNESS IN PROGRESS
This blog page was initiated on November 13, 2006, and is indeed a continuing work of madness in progress. The intension of this page is varied. The intended purpose is to inform, entertain and sometimes incite. The contents are likely to be provocative, therefore be warned that it is not intended for the squeamish, or for those who are not of legal adult age. If you are not of legal adult age you are ordered to leave this site immediately, otherwise you will be severely tortured and eventually eaten, possibly by your own parents or by strangers unknown to "Phil At Large".
The Joffrey Ballet Of Chicago
The Company
Robert Joffrey and Gerald Arpino's uniquely American vision of dance first took form in 1956. The original company consisted of six dynamic and highly individual dancers. While Robert Joffrey stayed in New York to teach ballet classes and earn money to pay the dancers' salaries, Gerald Arpino led the troupe across America's heartland, in a station wagon that pulled a U-Haul trailer. Their repertoire of original ballets by Robert Joffrey set them apart from other small touring companies, who often performed scaled-down versions of the classics. From the beginning, Joffrey and Arpino wanted a company that came out of their roots, out of America.
The Joffrey Ballet Of Chicago Has A New Artistic Director.
Ashley Wheater, a former member of the company, has been named the new artistic director of the Joffrey Ballet. Until recently, he was the ballet master at San Fransisco Ballet under the direction of another Joffrey alumnus, Helgi Tomasson.Wheater started his training in England at the Royal Ballet School (which is different than RAD) and then moved on to start his ballet career at the Royal Ballet and the London Festival Ballet. He then moved on to dance with the Australian Ballet for three years then joining the Joffrey in 1985. He became a part of the San Fransisco Ballet in 1989 on tenure as a soloist until 1996 when he suffered a neck injury and after recovery returned to SF Ballet as the ballet master.His first season as the artistic director of Joffrey will most likely start in 2008-2009.
