Three years ago, the troupe toured Israel, which provided a special experience for two Jewish dance masters, Mark Goldweber and Adam Sklute. Although they were not raised with strong religious practices, the two felt a strong reaction being surrounded by the holy places they saw. Goldweber, who danced with the company for 13 years, now directs rehearsals, watching and taking notes. As he prepares the dancers for their performances, Goldweber regards Kettentanz as technical- ly difficult and charming, Lilac Garden as cinematic and Rodeo as pure Americana. "It's fun to see the interpre- tation of each dancer, because every one of them brings something new to a dance," says Goldweber, who has been on Michigan stages many times. "I feel very lucky taking care of these masterpieces. When I was a dancer, I only had to take care of myself. Now, I'm looking at every detail." Sklute, who also works as artistic coordinator for the company, organiz- es casting and schedules. He started dancing with the Joffrey in 1988 and occasionally returns to the stage. "I do character performances, such as the priest in Taming of the Shrew," he says. "When I work as ballet mas- ter, I try to give the dancers an under- standing of what they're trying to con- vey in any given work." Talking About Dance Harriet Ross, Joffrey artistic manag- er, will be doing the pre-performance talks. She came to the Joffrey with many years of experience on the New York stage and in ballet administra- tion. Raised in an Orthodox home, she had to be very persistent to get her parents to allow her to study ballet. "I usually talk about the program the audience is about to see and try to demystify it," explains Ross, who also negotiates the artists' contracts and works on the budget. "I want to present the historical background of the material and show the costumes and shoes. Sometimes we talk about the dancers. We want to make people comfortable watching ballet, particularly the Joffrey Ballet." Ross is working closely with Una Jackman of Bloomfield Hills and her • N' 0 Left to right, ballet masters Mark • Goldweber, Cameron Basden, Charthel Arthur and Adam Sklute.

Members, who joined together to help fund bal- let performances, worked on the Joffrey visits last year and this season. "Our response has been so great that we are scheduling a spring perform- ance in 2003," says Jackman, whose committee includes Sarah Deson Fried and Anne Weiner, members of the Jewish community. "The Detroit pro- gram is being done at Lincoln Center in New York before it comes here, and . we're all very excited about that. "I think of Rodeo as a very patriotic piece, which makes it very timely, and I hope other people interested in the ballet will join our committee to help with the arrangements for upcoming performances." ❑ The Joffrey Ballet of Chicago per- forms 8 p.m. Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday, March 9-10, at the Detroit Opera House, 1526 Broadway.
