Juilliard Dance, under the direction of Lawrence Rhodes, opens its 2014-15 season in December 2014 with New Dances: Edition 2014 featuring four world premiere dances by innovative choreographers, Juilliard alumnus Austin McCormick (1st-Year Dancers); alumna Loni Landon (2nd-Year Dancers); Kate Weare (3rd-Year Dancers); and Larry Keigwin (4th-Year Dancers). Mr. Keigwin is returning to Juilliard where he already choreographed and premiered, in December 2008, Runaway, a large-scale piece that riffs on the high fashion runway scene, and in December 2009, Megalopolis.
Reviving important but neglected operas is one of the ways the Bard SummerScape festival in New York's Annandale-on-Hudson has established itself, and this year's immersion in "Schubert and His World" - culminating in the 25th-anniversary season of the Bard Music Festival - is no exception. To enrich its exploration of the roots of Austro-German Romanticism, Bard presents Euryanthe (1823) by Schubert's contemporary Carl Maria von Weber, marking the opera's first American revival in 100 years. Headlined by Ellie Dehn, Bard's original staging is by Kevin Newbury, creator of SummerScape's production of Richard Strauss's Die Liebe der Danae. Euryanthe's five performances (July 25, 27 & 30; August 1 & 3) feature the festival's resident American Symphony Orchestra under the leadership of music director Leon Botstein, who also leads semi-staged performances of Schubert's own seldom-heard opera Fierrabras starring Joseph Kaiser, best known for his leading role in Kenneth Branagh's film adaptation of The Magic Flute, on August 17, and of a double-bill of rarities - Schubert's one-act Singspiel Die Verschworenen and Franz von Suppe's operetta Franz Schubert - on August 10.
For the month of April Class Act Books' releases include a fanciful Young Adult fiction and a serious Science Fiction entry. 'Spacedogs' Best Friend' by Tony V. Sweeney is Robinson Crusoe from a teen's point of view. Jenny Halpin's graduation gift backfires when the space cruiser in which she's a passenger collides with a meteor shower. She finds herself a castaway along with three little poodles...and not just any poodles but the telepathic Royal Family of Canaris who expect Jenny to protect and serve them. Jenny takes charge but soon she's up to her neck in hostile native canines, pirate salamanders, and newborn pups... 'Sunfall' by James Austin McCormick is a more serious entry in the Science Fiction genre. On Earth, the Corporate League has done away with democracy and now wants to crush the last stronghold of liberty, a small independent colony on Mars. The colony's imminent destruction by a massive solar storm, Sunfall, will do just that if the League can prevent a terraforming device from reaching the planet. It's up to an idealist scientist and a two-bit smuggler to make sure the League is thwarted...if they can escape a seemingly invulnerable assassin before Sunfall occurs. Class Act Books is a small press publisher offering its readers fiction in all genres, as well as non-fiction, from award-winning authors.
