Windows (Winslett/Brahms, Rachmaninoff, Blacher, Romeo - Variations on the Theme from Paganini's 24th Caprice for Violin
The Four Temperaments (Balanchine/Hindemith)
Stoner Winslett's Windows will celebrate its much-anticipated return to the Richmond stage this season. Windows uses dance as means to paint a beautifully-articulated vision of styles from the mid-19th century to the turn of the 21st century. Style formed the essence of life, and defined a period, or 'window' in history.Windows celebrates both the promise of progress and the promise of potential.
The Four Temperaments, the first of Mr. Balanchine's sparse, "black and white ballets," aptly named for the black and white practice clothes the dancers don on stage, was inspired by the medieval belief in the four psychological humors which determine a person's temperament: "Melancholich," "Sanguinic," "Phlegmatic" and "Choleric."
