Sunday Morning Reform, Services.
Group Rebels Against O
Will Use Native Sc
America has brought numerous or-,
iginal variations into the art of
dance, ranging from the Square Dance
to the Suzy-Q, but thet American
Ballet Caravan, which will appear at
the Lydia Mendelssohn Theatre Dec.
11, is believed to be the first ballet
of native origin.
Lincoln Kirstein, who organized,
the Ballet Caravan, tells in a recent.
book of -his, "Blast at Ballet," his
reasons for forming a troupe of na-
tive American dancers. He created
his group of dancers as a rebellion
against what he calls "Russian tea-
roomish interpretations." Believing
that there are enough fine American,
dancers to divorce ballet in this coun-
try from foreign dominance, heI
founded the Caravan in 1937 and
has since led it on two transcontinen-
tal tours.
Name. American Cast
Kirstein selected only native Ameri-
cans for his troupe of dancers,
choregraphers, composers and de-
signers, and most of the ballets in
Brazil Subject
Of Center Talk
Prof. James To Address
Foreign Group Today
The International Center's regulat
Sunday program today will be high--
lighted by a discussion of Brazil by
Prof. Preston James of the geography
department to be given at 7 p.m.
His address will follow the 6 p.m.
supper.
Professor James, an expert on
South American affairs, was director
of the iUniversity's Institute of Latin-
American Studies during the last
Summer Session.
At 7 p.m. tomorrow, Dr. and Mrs.
S. L. LaFever of Ann Arbor will pre-
sent at the Center their technicolor
films, "Around South America."
They took the pictures in a recent
jaunt south. -
Thursday's program will feature
the weekly Center speech class, given
to foreign students who need .more
training in order to speak a perfect-
ly fluent English. Since many for-
eigners come to the University for
the first time as graduate students,
their conversational power in Eng-
lish often needs a good deal of
strengthening.
d Russian Interpretations;
enes And Character
the company's reportory have Ameri-
can scenes and characters as their
themes.
The Caravan will present three bal-
lets in their performance here. "Air
and Variations" will be in the classic
mode, with music by Bach and
choregraphy by William Dollar. The
two other ballets are American in
motif and interpretation.
'The Debutante'
"Charade, or the Debutante" is the
latest achievement of Lew Christen-
sen, balletmaster of the Caravan. It
takes place in a middle class Amer-
can home in a small town around
1910. The dancing is arranged on a.
basis of American popular dance mu-
sic of the period as adapted to ballet
form by Trude Rittmann, pianist and
musical collaborator of the Caravan,
The final ballet will be "City Por-
trait," a dance pantomime based on
life in a large American city. The
music is by Henry Brandt, known in
college circles for his arrangements
for Benny Goodman.
