Academic literature on the topic 'San Francisco Ballet'

Charting Nicholas Remisoff’s artistic legacy during his California period, this essay explores his contributions to the cultural landscape of the state and emphasizes his work on live stage productions in San Francisco and Los Angeles in the early 1930s and 1940s. Delineating the critical reception of Remisoff’s work in opera, ballet and theatre in these cities, this essay also highlights the artist’s interactions and key collaborations with other Russian and European émigré artists and reflects on the nature of Remisoff’s particular affinity with Southern California.

In the title essay from Choreographing History, Susan Leigh Foster interrogates the belief that the body serves as a site for dance to be enacted upon and through. She, along with several others in this edited volume, sought to reposition and consequently enhance the contribution of dancers' bodies by not limiting the essays within to observational accounts or choreographic reviews. Instead Foster and her colleagues query “the possibility of a body that is written upon but that also writes” as means of urging dance scholars to “move critical studies of the body in new directions.” I take this position as an entry point and use it to contemplate the process of making and writing about contemporary ballet history using Alonzo King LINES Ballet, a San Francisco–based troupe, as a case study. In this essay, I describe the challenges I and others have faced in our efforts to collect and interpret a visual and verbal archive for this dance troupe, which has been performing for more than a quarter of a century. This process highlights a larger issue for dance historians, namely, how to create a critically sensitive archive for a company when the most reliable (and oftentimes the only available) source is the personal memory of its choreographer. I anchor this analysis to the different models of critical writing about bodies offered by Michel Foucault, Roland Barthes, Jacqueline Shea Murphy, and Hayden White and suggest that companies such as LINES offer challenges to those engaged in the archival process and in the practice of writing history.

I am both honored and humbled to comment about the impact of Deidre Sklar's work on my research and teaching. More than anything, I consider Dr. Deidre Sklar a kind of dance ethnology big sister. I first learned of her when I was a student at the University of California Los Angeles's (UCLA) internationally recognized former dance ethnology program, where Deidre had attended nearly a decade before me. Those of us who went through this unique and intensive program often felt as if we knew each other, even if we had never met. The program was a kind of nation of black sheep; we were kindred spirits in our love and participation of different kinds of global movement practices at a time when ballet and modern dance were exclusively the norm. Also, our mentors, Allegra Fuller Snyder and Elsie Ivancich Dunin, made it a point to share the distinctive investigations of our predecessors. So I think it was in this context that I first learned of Deidre. Over the years, I recall short but poignant conversations with her which left me pondering for months afterwards. Some of our fleeting encounters occurred in the bustling dark hallway of an American Anthropology Association (AAA) conference hotel in San Francisco, taking in the arid air outside of the Cross-Cultural Dance Resources (CCDR) meeting space in Flagstaff, or smelling fire-baked tortillas and hearing cocoon rattles as we stood observing the awe-inspiring Yaqui Easter ceremony in Tucson. As a newbie dance ethnologist in those years, I found Deidre's strong, direct ways, her laser sharp insights, thought provoking questions, and bold comments somewhat intimidating—all features I have grown to admire and value now.

In 2019, San Francisco, California, prohibited the sale of electronic cigarettes lacking US Food and Drug Administration authorization. JUUL then promoted a ballot initiative (Proposition C) to replace San Francisco’s e-cigarette legislation with legislation JUUL wrote that required future legislation to be approved by the voters. JUUL promoted Proposition C as a way to reduce youth e-cigarette use while allowing adult choice. Health groups argued that JUUL’s measure could nullify San Francisco’s prohibition on selling flavored tobacco products. Health groups benefitted from having an established campaign network that recently defended the flavor ban. They successfully framed Proposition C as a tobacco industry ploy to undo San Francisco’s e-cigarette regulations, particularly the prohibition on selling flavored tobacco products. JUUL ended its campaign on September 30, 2019, and the measure failed on election day, with 82% voting against it. Lessons learned from the campaign include the importance of framing an industry initiative as a threat to local public health lawmaking and the potential for the e-cigarette issue to attract parents as new leaders and engage a powerful constituency to support tobacco control measures.

Despite a growing body of evidence showing that sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) taxes nudge consumers away from SSBs, we lack an understanding of people’s awareness and perceptions of SSB taxes and whether tax awareness and perceptions differ based on sociodemographic characteristics. We used serial cross-sectional study intercept surveys (n = 2715) in demographically diverse neighborhoods of Berkeley and Oakland in 2015 and 2017, and San Francisco and Richmond in 2017. In the year following successful SSB tax ballot measures, 45% of respondents correctly recalled that an SSB tax had passed in their city. In untaxed cities, 14% of respondents incorrectly thought that a tax had passed. Perceived benefits of SSB taxes to the community and to children’s health were moderate and, like correct recall of an SSB tax, were higher among respondents with higher education levels. Awareness of SSB taxes was low overall, and perceptions about taxes’ benefits varied by educational attainment, reflecting a missed opportunity to educate citizens about how SSB taxes work and their importance. Public health efforts should invest in campaigns that explain the benefits of SSB taxes and provide information about how tax revenues will be invested, both before and after a tax proposal has passed.

The pandemic of COVID-19 has afflicted every individual and has initiated a cascade of directly or indirectly involved events in precipitating mental health issues. The human species is a wanderer and hunter-gatherer by nature, and physical social distancing and nationwide lockdown have confined an individual to physical isolation. The present review article was conceived to address psychosocial and other issues and their aetiology related to the current pandemic of COVID-19. The elderly age group has most suffered the wrath of SARS-CoV-2, and social isolation as a preventive measure may further induce mental health issues. Animal model studies have demonstrated an inappropriate interacting endogenous neurotransmitter milieu of dopamine, serotonin, glutamate, and opioids, induced by social isolation that could probably lead to observable phenomena of deviant psychosocial behavior. Conflicting and manipulated information related to COVID-19 on social media has also been recognized as a global threat. Psychological stress during the current pandemic in frontline health care workers, migrant workers, children, and adolescents is also a serious concern. Mental health issues in the current situation could also be induced by being quarantined, uncertainty in business, jobs, economy, hampered academic activities, increased screen time on social media, and domestic violence incidences. The gravity of mental health issues associated with the pandemic of COVID-19 should be identified at the earliest. Mental health organization dedicated to current and future pandemics should be established along with Government policies addressing psychological issues to prevent and treat mental health issues need to be developed.

While working on his studies of suppressed erotic folk song, Legman wrote a series of studies on the historical and bibliographic problems of studying erotica in an era of censorship. These appeared in The Horn Book (1963) to praise from American and English folklorists. Legman continued to try to compile the definitive work on censored folk song in English, now collaborating with journalist Ed Cray. After several years of sharing materials and ideas, Cray published his own book based in part on their joint labors, and Legman was forced to put his ballad project aside. These years also saw the end of his marriage to Beverley Keith, the birth of his daughter Ariëla, and his unsuccessful attempt to return to the United States in 1964 as a visiting scholar and lecturer. Also, in 1964-65, Legman was able to observe the San Francisco counterculture and the Berkeley free speech movement and wrote up his harshly negative conclusions in his pamphlet The Fake Revolt (1967).

In 1962, Cole recorded the blockbuster hit “Ramblin’ Rose” and three full-length albums as well as his successful “singalong” album, Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days of Summer. However, there was also trouble. His new management led him into a disastrous deal that was financially devastating, and his intimate relationship with a young singer in his touring backup group threatened his marriage. Artistically, he recorded two well-received albums, Where Did Everyone Go? and Nat King Cole Sings My Fair Lady. By summer 1964, Nat knew he was sick; he made his final film appearance, in Cat Ballou; completed his last album, L-O-V-E; and fulfilled an important engagement in San Francisco. In December, he received his diagnosis and checked into St. John’s Hospital in Los Angeles.

Back in America, Barber happily focused on composing songs. Drawn to Rainer Maria Rilke’s French poems, he created five songs, Mélodies passagères. When asked, he said that he composed in French because he had fallen in love with Paris. He sang excerpts of the cycle to his friend, composer Francis Poulenc, who confirmed the accuracy of the prosody and admired the songs so much he premiered them in Paris with Pierre Bernac in 1952, which Barber attended as he was there for a meeting of the International Music Council. In 1952, Barber received a commission from the Ballet Society to orchestrate some piano duets he had composed, inspired by his childhood trips to the Palm Court in New York’s Plaza Hotel. Completed in Ireland, the ballet, Souvenirs, included a waltz, schottische, tango, pas de deux, and two-step; it was choreographed and performed by Balanchine, who danced with Nora Kaye, Jerome Robbins, and Tanaquil LeClercq. His love affair with Irish poetry also blossomed during this time, inspiring his most famous song cycle, Hermit Songs, settings of ten poems by Irish monks inscribed on the corners of manuscripts. The cycle was premiered in the Coolidge Auditorium at the Library of Congress by Leontyne Price, with Barber at the piano. This chapter concludes with discussion of Barber’s one-movement orchestral work, Adventure, a television collaboration between CBS and the Museum of Natural History, which is scored for a mixture of recognizable Western instruments and non-Western instruments.
