University ballerina
leads 'Bolero' cast
Caroline Shell will be on her
toes tonight.
In her first appearance as a
featured guest artist with the
Eugene Ballet Company, Shell will
take to the floor of the Hult
Center’s Silva Hall to lead the cast
of "Bolero" — one of 16 pieces in
a two-hour performance.
Maurice Ravel's "Bolero" is a
15-minute ballet, and Shell dances
for the entire 15 minutes.
"It is quite an endurance
piece," says Shell, who heads the
University's dance department.
But she looks forward to the pro
duction. "It will be a refreshing
experience to be on stage again."
"Bolero," a modern ballet, has
no actual storyline, but is a styliza
tion of Spanish dance for the
ballet stage.
"It's very unusual for the
Eugene Ballet Company to do this
kind of ballet," Shell says, adding
that the company normally
features classical ballet.
The Ballet Company's general
manager, lames Toland, agrees.
"Bolero" is a modern ballet, with
primitive movements and modern
gestures — ideas usually not
associated with classical ballet.
Dancers in "Bolero” are
shoeless, Toland points out, and
the women don't tie back their
hair, as in classical ballets.
"There is a whole lot of wild
feeling to some of it," says Toland.
"It's really a frenzied piece.”
Former soloist with the West
German "Ballet in Belguim,"
Lothar Hofgan, is the guest
choreographer of "Bolero."
"It's going to be one of the most
exciting pieces the Eugene Ballet
Company has done," Shell says.
Of the 16 dancers in "Bolero"
five are University students
University dance Prof. David
Berkey is also featured.
The performance starts at 8 p.m.
tonight and Saturday night. Ticket
prices vary from $5.50 to $35 and
will be available for half-price to
students and seniors at 10 a.m. to
day, at either the Hult Center box
office or the Eugene Ballet Com
pany, 1231 Olive St.
Silva Hall schedules
'Evening with Baez'
Joan Baez is nearing her 20th year in the music business, a
testimony to the lasting quality of her music and to her relationship with
her audience.
Monday at 8 p.m. she will appear in the Silva Concert Hall, in a con
cert billed as "An Evening with Joan Baez."
Baez calls herself the offspring of a "blue-blooded gypsy queen"
and scientist father. Perhaps that's why her songs have always been
analytical, yet with a certain wanderlust.
But where did she get her phenomenal voice? Her voice rises and
flutters with the eloquence of wind. It's the coolness of her voice, the
presence and the distance she can attain by sustaining a single note.
Her concerts aren't the rowdy affairs rocf performers thrive on. A
Baez concert is more like a classical symphony. The audience is silent,
but for a cough here and there. They are attentive and strain to hear
every word.
Baez has released almost 50 LPs since her first in 1960. Her first "hit"
internationally was "Diamonds and Rust." Her latest LP is "Blowin'
Away."
"Blowin' Away" is Baez's debut on Portrait Records and contains
songs written by Steve Winwood, Steve Goodman and the Sutherland
Brothers. Probably the nicest surprise on the LP is Baez's smoky rendi
tion of Julie London's classic "Cry Me a River." Baez fans know from her
concerts that she has a gift for imitation. The Julie London song is done
in London's style.
She's known primarily for her music — and some of her friends and
lovers — but she's equally known for her commitment to pacifism and
to human rights causes. Her outspoken stand against the war in Viet
nam gained her the ire of the Daughters of the American Revolution,
but championed the anti-war sentiments of many thousands.
Baez is a complex woman. She has weathered the 1960s, the 1970s
and retains her uniqueness into the 1980s. As Monday's concert is likely
to show, Baez will always have songs to sing and causes to champion.
Tickets for the concert are $10.25 and $11.25, available at
Everybody's Records, G.l. Joe's, Meier & Frank and the Hult Center Box
Office.
