Ballet and the
Beatles: Innovative show shatters stereotypes
By
KYLE BARNETTE
Administrative director, Charleston Ballet Theatre
Special to CharlestonCurrents.com
MAY
4, 2009 -- It is very possible that rock and roll is not the first
phrase that comes to mind when you think of the ballet. You might
also have never considered the tango or country music to be synonymous
with grand battements and pirouettes.
Barnette |
Lucky
for us, there is the Charleston
Ballet Theatre, the nationally recognized professional dance
company located in downtown Charleston, a company that consistently
tests the boundaries of dance with eclectic and ever-changing musical
influences. On Friday, May 8, at the North Charleston Performing
Arts Center, South Carolina's finest will display their penchant
for the unexpected with an exclusive one-night performance of their
critically acclaimed audience favorite, "The Magical Mystery
Tour," a Beatles dance and music experience.
Charleston
Ballet Theatre, at the hands of resident choreographer Jill Eathorne
Bahr, has amassed a reputation in its 20-plus years as a professional
dance company that is extremely versatile and unpredictable in its
approach to the art of dance. Just in the past season, the company
produced a wide array of successful and wildly varied dance performances
including everything from the company's annual holiday tradition,
"The Nutcracker," to the opposite end of the spectrum
with the Halloween production of "The Rocky Horror Picture
Show."
Another
unexpected turn in the company's repertoire was the massive and
breathless response to Bahr's sizzling hot "Twisted Tango"
production in the winter of 2008. Audiences fell in love with the
sexy and seductive story of a love triangle gone wrong, told through
the moves of the striking tango dance form. After its initial run
in the season, "Twisted Tango" gained momentum and a sizable
fan base, bringing the show great success throughout the Piccolo
Spoleto season and an exclusive engagement last year at the North
Charleston Performing Arts Center.
 |
In
an interesting twist, the show that filled the slot of "Twisted
Tango" this past winter was the equally extolled premiere of
"The Magical Mystery Tour," a show that is quickly following
in the giant footsteps of its predecessor. The show is an emotionally
engrossing production that puts the company's nearly 30 dancers
directly inside the lyrical tales created by the four lads from
Liverpool. With so many classic songs to choose from, choreographer
Bahr had to be selective with the 20 tunes she chose to encompass
the musical history of the most influential band in rock-and-roll
history. The chosen songs follow a path throughout the decades of
the Beatles' storied evolution as artists, much like the Charleston
Ballet Theatre itself. From the cry of the universally recognized
"Help" to the tribal love fest of "Lady Madonna,"
and from the intimacy of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
to the psychedelic absurdity of "Yellow Submarine," the
company takes the audience on a musical journey through some of
rock history's most cherished gems.
|
MAGICAL
MYSTERY TOUR
Tickets
to "The Magical Mystery Tour" are $41 for adults,
$26 for students/ children, and are available by calling the
Charleston Ballet Theatre box office at 723-7334, the Coliseum
Box Office or online.
|
In
the spirit of Charleston Ballet Theatre's penchant for mixing music
and dance in sometimes-atypical fashion, the one-night performance
will include an exclusive concert gig by Nashville recording artists
One Flew South. The country/rock band, including local guitar hero
Eddie Bush, is currently riding the Billboard country charts with
the single "Life" from its debut album, "Last of
the Good Guys." Immediately following the dance performance,
audiences will be treated to a live concert in the NPAC lobby, where
One Flew South will not only perform some of their own hits but
also an array of Beatles classics to tie in the evening of musical
celebration.
With
this wildly inventive production, Charleston Ballet Theatre hopes
not only to entertain but also to clarify that ballet does not have
to be associated with a stuffy night in a dark theater. In fact,
anyone who has attended one of the company's dance productions can
attest the atmosphere is quite the opposite, with music and excitement
filling the air. Sharing the joy of dance is what Charleston Ballet
Theatre is all about. It's an infectious feeling that pours right
off the stage and into the hearts and minds of all that are lucky
enough to witness this uniquely entertaining dance company.

Spring
is in the air with lots of things to do
By
ANDY BRACK, publisher
MAY
4, 2009 --With spring in the air and tourists flooding our streets,
let's put all of the challenging news -- budget problems, high unemployment,
swine flu -- in a little perspective.
|
Brack
|
Even
though budget cuts are limiting what many government agencies can
do these days, they are still doing a whole lot of good things with
taxpayer dollars that you can take advantage of to enjoy the season.
Here's a list of some of what's out there to consider:
Check out your library. The network of libraries around South
Carolina offers a lot of free entertainment for the whole family.
Not only are there summer reading programs to keep children interested
and learning, there are movies and books that will thrill parents.
"Libraries
in South Carolina are seeing double-digit increases in circulation
and visits as families choose to use their local library more during
the national economic downturn," said State Librarian David
Goble. "Families in the state are finding libraries to be a
very cost effective alternative to going out to the movies or to
a concert or buying books."
Find
a festival. It seems that just about anywhere you turn in the
warmer months, you can find a festival of some sort. From the highbrow
Spoleto Festival later this month in Charleston to the Hampton County
Watermelon Festival in June, there are dozens of community events
that feature contests, parades, rides, and great local arts, crafts
and produce. Perhaps the best way to pick something to your liking
is to go to Sciway.net's
monthly calendar.
|
|
Buy
local at a farmers market. Want to get a real taste of South
Carolina? There are more than 80 community-based farmers markets
across the state, according to Stephen Hudson at the S.C. Department
of Agriculture. What's great about these venues is that you can
get good food, socialize with your neighbors and become more involved
in your community. Visit the Department's Web site and enter "farmers
markets" in the search engine to find a market near you. (Or
just
click here.)
Network with a producer. If you're really into buying locally,
the Agriculture Department and other agencies have launched the
SC Market
Maker Web site to link farmers, producers and consumers. What
better entertainment for young children than to head to a farm or
fishery to learn about how our food gets to us. The site offers
an online searchable database that will allow you, for example,
to find wild South Carolina shrimp or homegrown tomatoes. More.
Enjoy
a state park. South Carolina is blessed to have 47 vibrant state
parks where visitors can fish, swim, hike, paddle and more. Now
in its 75th year, the
S.C. State Park Service generates almost all of its own operating
revenue through its cabin, campsite and other rentals, said spokesman
Mark Rapport.
|
|
Not
only does the state parks system preserve special South Carolina
places, it offers more than 80,000 acres of diverse ecosystems that
visitors can explore - - from the mountains at Table Rock and Caesars
Head to beaches and the sea at Hunting and Edisto islands. History
buffs can learn about the Revolutionary War at Musgrove Mill State
Historic Site and students can find out about the start of the state
at historic Charles Town Landing State Historic Site. Learn
more.
Celebrate the arts. The Palmetto State is home to thousands
of talented artists and craftsmen. To help artists, the S.C. Arts
Commission supports a network of arts organizations and artists
to enrich their communities. Not only does the commission expose
135,000 students to artists and performances during the school year,
but it works to sustain artists throughout the year to ensure all
South Carolinians have the opportunity to experience creativity
in their communities. Learn more through the Commission's
Arts Daily and other offerings.
There's a lot out there to entertain, enthrall and energize that
is provided by state agencies and their dedicated employees. All
you have to do is look for it … and have fun.

DHEC names 2-1-1 Hotline
as official source for swine flu info
The
S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control has asked Trident
United Way's 2-1-1 Hotline to serve as the official source of DHEC
information on H1N1, popularly called swine flu. DHEC is providing
up-to-the-minute updates to the hotline, and Trident United Way
officials say they have recruited additional staff and volunteers
to handle the expected uptick in calls. Locally, 2-1-1 already answers
50,000 calls a year, according to the agency.
DHEC
has also notified hospitals, state offices and others likely to
get questions about H1N1 to ask them to direct people to the hotline.

HISTORY
SPOTLIGHT
'Groovemaster'
James Jamerson
James
Jamerson was born on January 29, 1936, in Charleston, the son of
James and Elizabeth Jamerson. He demonstrated an aptitude for music
at an early age, playing piano by age ten, studying trombone in
elementary school, and soaking in jazz, gospel, and blues music
from local radio stations.
By
1954 Jamerson had moved to Detroit, where his mother had gone the
previous year in search of employment. Enrolling in Detroit's Northwestern
High School, he took up a new instrument: the upright bass. He began
playing with local jazz and blues bands, quickly establishing himself
as one of the hottest bassists in the Motor City. He was soon in
demand by most of Detroit's recording labels.
He
then came to the attention of a songwriter and producer named Berry
Gordy, the talented and ambitious owner of the fledgling Motown
label. Jamerson began session work for Gordy around 1959. By the
early 1960s, Jamerson had become "Motown's premier groovemaster."
As a cornerstone of Motown's renowned studio band, the "Funk
Brothers," Jamerson's skill and style on the bass became legendary.
He played on almost every Motown record during its 1963-1968 heyday,
providing the groove for such immortal records as "Bernadette,"
"Ain't Too Proud To Beg," "I Heard It Through The
Grapevine," "You Can't Hurry Love," and Marvin Gaye's
classic album What's Going On. By some accounts, Jamerson played
on more number one records than any musician in the history of rock
and roll.
Despite
his indisputable genius, Jamerson's increasingly erratic behavior
and drinking problems had lowered his standing with Motown by the
1970s. He moved to Los Angeles in 1973 and for a time enjoyed a
full schedule of session work, touring, and recording. Alcohol and
emotional problems, however, gradually eroded demand for his declining
talents. Jamerson died in Los Angeles on August 2, 1983. He was
inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.
