CCM Dance celebrates the art of motion with a mixed-repertoire dance performance on Dec. 6-9, 2018
CINCINNATI, OH—The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music (CCM) presents a mixed-repertoire dance production culminating with Birthday Variations, choreographed by Gerald Arpino, co-founder of the Joffrey Ballet, and restaged by Nicole Duffy Robertson of the New York Dance Project. Directed by CCM Dance Professor Deirdre Carberry, the performance runs Dec. 6-9, 2018 in Patricia Corbett Theater.
Arpino’s BIRTHDAY VARIATIONS features music by Giuseppe Verdi and was restaged for CCM by Duffy, a répétiteur for the Gerald Arpino Foundation. This ballet premiered in 1986, just two years before Arpino took over the Joffrey Ballet as artistic director upon Robert Joffrey’s death. Anna Kisselgoff of the New York Times describes the work as “a sparkling showpiece of classical dancing” that is “set to some of Verdi’s infectious opera-ballet music.”
The mixed-repertoire performance also showcases “Kitri’s Wedding” from Act III of Ludwig Minkus’ Don Quixote, which premiered at Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre in 1869, with choreography by Marius Petipa and restaged by Carberry.
“This work is one of the most famous, enduring and exciting ballet adaptations in the classical repertoire,” says Jiang Qi, chair of CCM’s Dance Department, in his program notes for the production.
Three short pieces originally choreographed by CCM Dance will also take place during this program. The first is Bridges, a work by CCM Dance Professor Michael Tevlin, with music by Benjamin Britten. This piece describes seven types of bridge, from truss to arch to suspension, through dance.
After Bridges is senior CCM Dance student Hope Friedman’s Volume IV, which features original choreography to contemporary music like Marian Hill’s Down and Wax Tailor’s Que Sera. It is an “exploration of what it means to be ‘normal’ and our connections with those around us,” Qi says.
Then CCM Dance presents Apertures and Vistas, choreographed by Judith Mikita, visiting assistant professor of dance. Mikita has worked with CCM Percussion Professor and Percussion Group Cincinnati member James Culley to develop a landscape of inventive movement with improvised accompaniment by four CCM percussion students.
This scintillating production is on stage Dec. 6-9, 2018 in Patricia Corbett Theater. Tickets are on sale now through the CCM Box Office; student discounts are available. BIRTHDAY VARIATIONS will last one hour and 45 minutes, including a 15-minute intermission.

CINCINNATI, OH – The Cincinnati Arts Association is proud to present New York City’s acclaimed Dance Theatre of Harlem for two performances only on Friday, May 11 and Saturday, May 12 at 8:00 PM at the Aronoff Center’s Procter & Gamble Hall. The show is part of Cincinnati Arts Association’s 2017-18 Presenting Season.

Now a singular presence in the ballet world, the Dance Theatre of Harlem (DTH) presents a powerful vision for ballet in the 21st century. The sixteen-member, multi-ethnic company performs a forward-thinking repertoire that includes treasured classics, neoclassical works by George Balanchine and resident choreographer Robert Garland, as well as innovative contemporary works that use the language of ballet to celebrate African American culture. Through performances, community engagement, and arts education, the Company carries forward Dance Theatre of Harlem’s message of empowerment through the arts for all.
Forty-nine years ago, Arthur Mitchell and his mentor Karel Shook founded DTH as a beacon of hope for the youth in the underprivileged neighborhood where Mitchell grew up. An acclaimed principal dancer with George Balanchine’s New York City Ballet, Mitchell took the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as a call to action. Drawing on his expertise and his prominence as the first African American to be a permanent member of a major U.S. ballet company, Mitchell’s ground-breaking idea was to transform the lives of young people in Harlem by providing training in classical ballet. In a few short years, his response to tragedy became a leading dance institution of unparalleled global acclaim.
Now, the organization’s three-part mission is served through the Dance Theatre of Harlem Company, which tours nationally and internationally with an eclectic ballet repertoire; the Dance Theatre of Harlem School, which trains more than five-hundred students per year in ballet and other dance disciplines during winter and summer sessions; and Dancing Through Barriers, an arts education and community engagement program that uses the arts to inspire and transform lives. Through these activities, DTH has reached millions and is dedicated to reaching new audiences with a powerful message of self-reliance, artistic relevance, and individual responsibility, all hallmarks of an organization that plays a key role in the national cultural dialogue.
As Dance Theatre of Harlem approaches its 50th anniversary, it remains committed to the excellence that has sustained the Company over the years.

The University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music’s fall Mainstage Series comes to a stunning conclusion with THE ART OF MOTION, a concert of mixed repertoire presented by the Dance Department. Co-directed by Dance Department Chair Jiang Qi and Associate Professor of Dance Deirdre Carberry, the production runs from Thursday, Nov. 30, 2017, through Sunday, Dec. 3, 2017, in CCM’s Patricia Corbett Theater.
The program begins with featured work The Little Mermaid, which is choreographed by guest artist Adam Sage with music by Léo Delibes and Antonín Dvořák. This classic fairytale, written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, is about the lengths in which a young mermaid will go for love.
The concert also showcases Paquita with music by Ludwig Minkus, restaged by Deirdre Carberry to choreography by Marius Petipa. Set in Spain during the occupation by Napoleon’s army, the ballet follows the story of a young gypsy girl who saves the life of a French officer and falls in love with him.
The performance concludes with Shaker Loops by Pulitzer Prize-winning composer John Adams, featuring choreography by CCM Dance Professor André Megerdichian. CCM’s Café MoMus Ensemble performs the beloved work under the direction of CCM student Alexandria Black.
