Music in Motion
This is not the chamber music of yesteryear. It’s hard to imagine a more artfully fun-filled summer evening of collaboration than what Concert:Nova has orchestrated for its season four finale on July 6. Audiences will get to delight in an original dance performance set to live, world-class chamber music in an unexpected space: outside in the Cincinnati Art Museum’s Alice Bimel Courtyard, where sculptures round out the art-filled atmosphere.
Creative collaboration lies at the heart of Concert:Nova’s mission. The progressive chamber music ensemble called upon sought-after local choreographer Heather Britt and selected dancers from Cincinnati Ballet to collaborate once again, following their lively, lighthearted interpretation of Carnival of the Animals was one of the programs that helped shape what we first wanted Concert:Nova to be. When we have visual interpretation of the music, it brings a very unique perspective into play, and I think it elevates and broadens the understanding of a piece. We’re really excited to work with the dancers who are really interpreting it on a more personal level.”
Britt says she and the dancers were also excited about the opportunity to collaborate with Concert:Nova again.
“I felt like the process was really enjoyable and easy and a great experience for the Cincinnati Ballet dancers who don’t usually get the chance to try their hand at choreography; they took the project on with tons of enthusiasm.”
Cincinnati Ballet Corps de Ballet dancer Stephen Jacobsen, who’s choreographing several sections, is “a huge Copland fan,” and says he told Britt right away, “I’m on board with whatever you have going on.”
Jacobsen first discovered how much he loved choreographing while he was teaching dance to children during his teenage years.
“We as a group decided how we wanted to retell the story, so it’s been a really true collaboration,” Britt says. “We’ve come up with an exciting new twist.”
(I’ve promised not to give away the surprise twist, but here are a couple of hints: it relates to a current hot topic in this country and to reported aspects of Copland’s personal life.)
“We hope that no matter what time period the music comes from, we can produce it in a way that makes it provocative and relevant for today, and that’s exactly what the choreographers did,” Chen says.

Circus Poster Exhibition – Ringling Museum of Art
From Rodney Huey
CIRCUS POSTER EXHIBITION SENSATIONALLY BRINGS TO LIFE AMERICA’S FIRST COLOSSAL ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY
Sarasota, FL – June 28, 2011 – Before television, radio, film and the Internet, the circus was America’s colossal entertainment industry. Circus owners enticed massive crowds with brilliantly colored, boldly bombastic posters that advertised never seen before attractions, performers and animals from all corners of the globe, including Jumbo the Elephant and Gargantua The Great, as well as new innovations such as the automobile and electrical lights.
The Amazing American Circus Poster: The Strobridge Lithographing Company, 1878-1939 showcases the cultural influence of the circus on America in a special exhibition at The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, Fla., that runs from Sept. 17, 2011 to January 29, 2012.
The works exhibited span from the time of P.T. Barnum’s greatest show on earth to the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus. The traveling exhibition opened in February at the Cincinnati Art Museum and is currently running through July 10, 2011.
“At the beginning of the twentieth century in America, the major holidays were the Fourth of July, Christmas, and the day the circus came to town,” said Steven High, executive director of the Ringling MuseumRingling earning Center and reated by Howard Tibbals, Mable Ringling Museum of Art and strength, the circus poster in the late n. “Circus owners relied on posters to advertise the show and to fuel excitement so that the colossal tents were filled with children of all ages. When it came to producing incredible poster designs and reliable delivery, the Strobridge Lithographing Company based in Cincinnati, Ohio, was the industry leader.”
With an array of dates and show titles, the posters in the exhibition range from the image of the woman, horse and clown, done by the American impressionist Edward Henry Pottast (1857-1927) to the romantic Ringling Bros. poster of In Days of Old, to iconic image of the leaping tiger. All 80 circus posters displayed in the Ulla. R and Arthur F. Searing Wing of the Ringling Museum of Art were made in America, produced in Cincinnati and distributed throughout the country. The exhibition draws from the collections of the Ringling Museum, Howard Tibbals, and the Cincinnati Art Museum. The exhibition is co-organized by the Ringling Museum and Cincinnati Art Museum.
