In this memoir of a roller coaster career on the New York stage,
former actor and dancer Bettijane Sills offers a highly personal
look at the art and practice of George Balanchine, one of ballet's
greatest choreographers, and the inner workings of his
world-renowned company during its golden years. After getting her
start on the stage as a child actor on Broadway, Bettijane Sills
joined the New York City Ballet in 1961 as a member of the corps de
ballet, working her way up to the level of soloist. As a company
dancer who remained outside the spotlight that the principals
enjoyed, Sills experienced a side of the company that prima
ballerinas did not share in. She tells stories of taking class with
Balanchine, dancing in the original casts of some of his most
iconic productions, and working with some of the company's most
famous dancers. Winningly honest and intimate, Sills lets readers
in on the secrets of a world that most people have never seen
firsthand. She reveals mistakes she made, the unglamorous parts of
tour life, jealousy among company members, and Balanchine's complex
relationships with women. She talks about Balanchine's insistence
on thinness in his dancers and how her own struggles with weight
ended her dancing career. Now a professor of dance who has educated
thousands of students on Balanchine's style and legacy, Sills
reflects on the highs and lows of a career indelibly influenced by
the bright lights of theater and by the man who shaped American
ballet.
The story of this groundbreaking summer dance programme is told
through the voices of staff, faculty, and students. Administrative
director Mary Josephine Shelly's previously unpublished writings
form a key summary of eight of the nine summer sessions. The
Bennington School of the Dance was held from 1934 to 1942 at
Bennington College in Vermont with one summer spent at Mills
College in California. Its effects were far-reaching in the
development and dissemination of modern dance as an original
American art form. The school produced unique choreographic works
by teachers in residence: Martha Graham, Hanya Holm, Doris
Humphrey, and Charles Weidman. Leading choreographers of the later
20th century such as Merce Cunningham, Anna Halprin, Jose Limon,
Alwin Nikolais and Anna Sokolow participated at the school. The
largest portion of students were high school and college level
teachers who would spread modern dance across the country and
abroad.
