Ahimsa means "non violence." Abhinaya Dance Company's latest offering to Bay Area audiences will be a performance of excerpts from two prior shows entitled, Jagriti-Awakening and Gandhi-The Mahatma. The focus of this production is to reaffirm the principle of Ahimsa - non-violence - and to continue and increase awareness of domestic violence in the Asian-Indian community. Gandhi-The Mahatma (premiered 1995) portrayed key events in the life of Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi that earned him the name of 'Mahatma' (great soul). Gandhi's tenacity of purpose, simplicity, self-sacrifice and his unifying influence on the people of India made him the leader in the fight for India's independence. The excerpt will reiterate his message of civil disobedience as an alternative to violent resistance. Jagriti-Awakening (premiered 2001) depicted the exploitation of women through the ages, and the subtle and not-so-subtle ways in which they have tried to fight it. By portraying a true story of a victim of domestic violence in this excerpt, we hope to send a message out to the many women living silently in abusive situations, telling them that they are not alone and that there is help available if they need it. Choreographed by Mythili Kumar.

Last seen on PBT�s stage in 1997, this production was standing room only at the Palace of Fine Arts. Written in Bavaria in the late thirteenth century, The Carmina Burana poems were rediscovered in Munich in 1803. In 1937, Carl Orff composed the music creating a series of songs, extolling the worldly pleasures of drinking, eating, and making love. Carvajal�s choreography illustrates this never-ending cycle of life and death, happiness and misfortune, success and failure.

Dimension Performing Arts presents an innovatively staged Chinese Opera version of the Japanese classic Rashomon. Rashomon is a whodunit story with only 3 witnesses: the deceased man through a medium, the woman, and a bandit in the bamboo forest crime scene. Complications were reined in by human emotions and their social significances, all to bear out on �Truth Is Relative�-a universal theme across cultural and temporal differences. Rashomon is performed by the Chinese Opera Troupe of National Taiwain J.C.T.P.A. The lead players are Wu ShinKuo as the Bandit, Tsao FuYung as the Man, and Huang YuLing as the Woman.

The program opens with Dennis Nahat�s "In Concert," set to I V�pres Siciliennes, Il Trovatore, and La Traviata by Giuseppe Verdi and musical selections from Faust by Charles Gounod. The ballet was created as a Valentine to dancers. It was also conceived as an educational piece to demonstrate different styles in classical ballet�that of Russian, French, Italian and American.

The $1.2 million production features 280 lavish costumes and 16 sets by award-winning designer Bob Mackie. The story opens in 1950s "anytown" USA and mirrors the birth of rock �n roll through several incidents in Elvis Presley�s life. This is a program you won't want to miss!

"Sticks & Stones" takes the audience on an intimate, hour-long journey through the poetic imagery of modern dance. As everyday life unfolds onstage, with its simple tasks and primitive tools, rituals are established. This five-part performance begins with three women, almost sisters, building with twenty stones. As their work escalates, a shaman appears, passing his "scepter" onto his teenage son who struggles to understand and harness its power in Part II. The boy's journey ends with the conquering of his "sword." Part III crashes down with the devastating effect of war and death on the people and their society. But, where there is death, there is rebirth. Women re-gather for the daily work with the metronome of time and a song in their hearts in Part IV. Finally in Part V, the people experience the ritual celebration of dance. Location: San Jose State University Theater 219 Spartan Complex East

Ballet San Jose Silicon Valley presents the return of Roland Petit�s sizzling production of "Carmen" May 2-5, 2002 at San Jose Center for the Performing Arts in downtown San Jose. The electrifying one-act ballet set to Georges Bizet�s opera score will be presented for five performances only. This special Spring Program will also feature George Balanchine�s brilliant classical ballet "Who Cares?" set to sixteen songs by George and Ira Gershwin. "Carmen" is a vivid and passionate story of lust and treachery based on the fabled temptress of Seville. The story follows the downward spiral of Prosper Merim�e�s novel and Georges Bizet�s opera. It is a highly stylized ballet that has captured and scandalized audiences throughout the world since French Dance Master Roland Petit first presented the 45-minute tale of seduction and betrayal at Prince�s Theatre in London in 1949. The central love duet for Carmen and Don Jos� is said to be among the most sensual couplings ever put on the ballet stage. The production garnered rave reviews at its San Jose premiere for the 1999-2000 season.

The season opens with Dennis Nahat�s sparkling "Starlight," an abstract, romantic ballet set against a glowing night sky and danced to the lush selections from "The Seasons" and "Raymonda" by Alexander Glazunov. "In Studio D" is Nahat�s touching tribute to life in the theater and was inspired by his experiences while working in a New York rehearsal studio. Set to original torch-song vocals and performed onstage by a special guest artist, "In Studio D" is part ballet, part New York piano bar, and all heart. The featured premiere on the program is Nahat�s rendition of "Prince Igor" set to Alexander Borodin�s haunting "Polovtsian Dances." Audiences will certainly recognize the music which includes the 'Strangers In Paradise� theme from the beloved musical, "Kismet" and serves as the score for Nahat�s interpretation of the tribal nature of men and women.

Artistic Director Dennis Nahat�s Summerscape is a celebration of fun in the sun set to Concerto No. 2, Opus 102, by Dimitri Shostakovich. This free-flowing ballet is a refreshing affirmation of life and summer romance. Original sculptures by world-renowned artist Dorothy Gillespie provide the theatrical setting for this joyous work. Flemming Flindt returns to Ballet San Jose Silicon Valley with the West Coast Premiere of his treatment of Miraculous Mandarin set to one of B�la Bart�k�s most notable scores. It is a fierce, forceful tangle of desire, greed and violence. The story is unlike any you have witnessed, and the ending is not what you would imagine! It is difficult to say whose work is more famous, Agnes de Mille�s ballet Rodeo or Aaron Copland�s commissioned score for Rodeo. A heart-warming story about a Cinderella from the American West, Rodeo�s patriotic flavor was an instant hit at its wartime premiere (1942) by Ballets Russes de Monte Carlo at the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City. Don�t miss it at the San Jose Center for the Performing Arts.

event Type: dance

Busting onto the stage for our April 3-6 program will be the Company premiere of the magical, mystical production of The Tempest. With Emmy-nominated choreography by Michael Smuin, The Tempest is set to a provocative score based first upon Henry Purcell, though it evolves into a more 20th century sensibility as the story develops. This music was compiled and enhanced by composer Paul Chihara. (Chihara also worked with Smuin on his Broadway triumph Sophisticated Ladies.) The piece is filled with grace, beauty, humor and spectacle. The costumes are by two-time Tony Award-winner Willa Kim (who also won an Emmy for "Outstanding Costume Design for a Television Special" when the ballet was presented on PBS�s "Dance In America" in 1981.) The Tempest requires over 80 costumes which take their inspiration from the magic, monsters and myth of the original play by William Shakespeare. The scenery is by Tony Walton, who has created a giant ship in a full, rolling ocean that breaks apart and transforms into Prospero�s cave, with the side of the ship turning into a mountain crag. Special effects and aerial entrances and exits complete a truly fantastic technical extravaganza.

Donald McKayle (nominated for the Isadora Duncan Award for Ballet San Jose Silicon Valley�s mounting of Rainbow 'Round My Shoulder and recently named one of America's "Irreplaceable Dance Treasures" by the Library of Congress' Dance Heritage Coalition) brings three of his pieces to Ballet San Jose Silicon Valley. The program features the Company Premiere of McKayle�s masterwork, District Storyville, set to the original music of Dorothea Freitag and the jazz of Sidney Bechet, Duke Ellington, Jelly Roll Morton, and others. The story takes place in 1917, when jazz ruled New Orleans and a young trumpet player named Louis Armstrong was just beginning to create the music he would later turn into a national art form. Also on the program is the Company Premiere of Death and Eros, the symbolic folk tale of an Inuit fisherman�s confrontation with death. Death and Eros is magnificently set to a new age score by Jon Mahnussen. McKayle�s stunning House of Tears was created for the Cleveland San Jose Ballet, and is set to the Nuevo Tango rhythms of "Concerto for Bandon�on" by Astor Piazzolla, and reveals the dark days of the military government in Argentine, where thousands disappeared without a trace. House of Tears offers stirring proof that a ballet with a provocative political theme rightfully qualifies as mainstage theater.

The evening performance will feature direct from Miami, the dance troop �Adela�s Dance Company�. A juerga is the flamenco equivalent of a Jazz jam session. Our juergas approximate the juergas of Andalucia in the sense that the invited artists are free to perform whatever they desire and usually we have no idea of what will happen next. In Spain, juergas usually will begin after a formal concert or whenever 2 or more flamencos have gathered (usually with a bottle of "fino") to exchange ideas. Juergas in Spain last until the wee hours of the morning, unfortunately our juergas do not.

With an expected audience of at least 3,000 - 3,500 people daily, of both locals and visitors, this San Jose event has become the largest Tahitian cultural arts exposition outside of Tahiti. At least 35 Polynesian dance companies (halau) are expected to participate in the group competition. In addition over 250 solo dancers from the various dance companies will participate in the Ori Tahiti Solo dance competition. Tahitian crafters and local artisans will be present to show the latest in their unique offerings. A sampling of Tahitian and local dishes will also be available for purchase. This year's feature guests are from Tahiti. The award-winning, "Tamarii Papara" and it�s Mayor, Bruno Sandras will highlight this spectacular weekend.

Nederlands Dans Theater II is a vigorous celebration of European dans theater, exuberance, and youth. This corps of classically trained modern dancers under the age of 21 makes an astoundingly surefooted Bay Area debut that will prove to be unforgettable. Founded by Jir� Kyli�n in 1978 as a training ground for his main company, Nederlands Dans Theater I, the troupe delivers technically precise, impossibly supple, and unabashedly witty performances of original work. Under Executive Artistic Director Gerald Tibbs, it consistently nails complex programs that are often riskier than those adopted by the main company. According to Le Figaro, the gifted NDT II "already possesses the feline flexibility and capable technique of NDT." The Juniors...have their own, significant style, full of vigour, extraordinary flexibility and exceptional passion. �Le Quotidien (Canada)

Two beautiful butterflies freely fluttering To each other murmuring their love everlasting Theirs is the poignant story told and retold As lovers' torrential tears fell uncontrolled. Upon these butterflies countless lovers swore Their eternal vow: "My love for you forevermore." One of four famous legends, Butterfly Lovers has been passed on through the ages as the most enchanting and poignant love story in China. Its heroine, Chu Yingtai, is a well-bred, high-spirited young lady who disguised herself as a man in order to go to school. Her love for her classmate, Liang Sanbo, and their ultimate tragedy, is not just a Chinese version of Romeo and Juliet; it embodies the essence of love: honor, respect, and sacrifice. The butterflies have been fluttering throughout China for thousands of years. Now, they have crossed the ocean and landed here - to beguile us, to entice us, to enlighten us. And you are invited to share their story and reminisce with them. Cirrus Dance & Arts proudly presents a unique interpretation of the famous concerto Butterfly Lovers through Chinese classical and folk dances and ballet.
