THE JOFFREY BALLET ABOUT THE JOFFREY BALLET Classically trained to the highest standards, The Joffrey Ballet expresses an inclusive perspective on dance that reflects the diversity of America through its company artists, extensive repertoire, Academy, and community engagement programs. Considered one of the premier companies performing today, The Joffrey plays a vital role in the dance community as one of the largest dance company and dance education providers in Chicago and the greater Midwest region. THE JOFFREY BALLET HISTORY In 1956, a time during which most touring companies performed only reduced versions of ballet classics, Robert Joffrey and Gerald Arpino formed a six-dancer ensemble that toured the country in an old station wagon pulling a U-Haul trailer. Over the next 65 years, the Joffrey moved from city to city, stage to stage, brandishing a reputation as America’s Company of Firsts. The Joffrey Ballet was the first dance company to perform at the White House at Jacqueline Kennedy’s invitation, the first to appear on American television, the first classical dance company to use multi-media, the first to create a ballet set to rock music, the first to appear on the cover of TIME Magazine (Astarte), and the first company to have a major motion picture based on its origins (Robert Altman’s The Company). In 1995, the Company took up permanent residence in Chicago—the Joffrey’s home for the last quarter-century—and blazed a path forward as a Chicago icon. In October 2007, following the retirement of former artistic director and Joffrey co-founder Gerald Arpino, former Joffrey artist Ashley Wheater became the third artistic director in the Company’s storied history. Six years later, the Joffrey named longtime Chicago arts leader Greg Cameron as its new executive director, later appointing Cameron to president and chief executive officer in 2018. Wheater and Cameron’s tenure together has been marked by critical and box office success, raising the organization’s status among peer institutions across the globe. During the 2021–2022 season, the Joffrey ushered in a new era as resident dance company at Lyric Opera House. Today, The Joffrey Ballet ranks among the top dance companies in the world, presenting an annual home performance season in Chicago and touring performances nationally and internationally.

UNDER THE TREES’ VOICES Music by Ezio Bosso Choreography by Nicolas Blanc Costumes by The Joffrey Ballet Costume Shop Lighting and Scenery by Jack Mehler Under the Trees’ Voices was conceived in the midst of the pandemic during the height of social distancing requirements, which for the dance community imposed new choreographic boundaries. It was also a response to the growing crisis in the natural world. Four years later, I believe the emotional value of the work remains intact. I see it as a reflection on the importance of connecting with one another and a way of remembering the people we loved and lost. — Nicolas Blanc PAUSE ANDANTE Music: PIANO CONCERTO NO. 2 in F MAJOR, OP. 102, 2ND MOVEMENT by Dmitri Shostakovich Choreography by Yuri Possokhov Costumes by The Joffrey Ballet Costume Shop Lighting by Jim French Presented under license by G. Schirmer, Inc., copyright owners. Frequent choreographer at the Joffrey whose most recent productions include the critically acclaimed adaptation of Anna Karenina, in addition to The Miraculous Mandarin and Don Quixote, returns with a pas de trois. Known for his expansive choreography and powerful partnering skills, Possokhov’s work has been described as among “the canon of 21st-century classics.” — Chicago Tribune PAUSE ALL THAT REMAINS Music by Ezio Bosso Choreography by Nicolas Blanc Costumes by The Joffrey Ballet Costume Shop Lighting by Chris Maravich Since 2021, Ezio Bosso’s compositions have been a recurring source of inspiration. His music carries a genuine sense of beauty, sensitivity, and power that invariably speaks to my creative self. All that Remains is, in this regard, a dance that keeps my profound connection to this composer’s music alive. Through an imagined sky of clouds and rain, the three dancers on stage explore the themes of attachment and separation, love for one another, and memories they cherish. INTERMISSION PRINCESS AND THE PEA This production of Princess and the Pea is co-produced by The Joffrey Ballet and Oregon Ballet Theatre. Music by James Stephenson Choreography by Dani Rowe Co-Librettists Dani Rowe and Garen Scribner Scenery and Costumes by Emma Kingsbury Lighting by Jim French
8 | encore Synopsis: In the monochromatic world of Pea Town, green is not just a color—it’s a way of life. Under the iron rule of the formidable Princess, the townspeople are permitted only to grow peas, eat peas, and live under the strict, unyielding law of the pea. Any deviation from this rigid norm is met with swift punishment. But whispers of rebellion begin to stir when Princess grows suspicious of one family daring to defy tradition. Inside their cozy pod, Penelopea’s parents have been savoring a forbidden vegetable. Their joy is short-lived, as Princess storms in, sentencing them to be “canned” for their crime, leaving poor Penelopea orphaned and forced to toil in the pea fields. Life in Pea Town seems destined to remain unchanged until an exciting announcement shakes the town: the annual Mattress Match is about to begin! This grueling competition, traditionally rigged for Princess to win, offers a singular prize—the coveted Can-Opener to the City, granting the winner the power to reshape Pea Town. Against all odds, Penelopea’s name is selected to compete, setting the stage for a showdown that could change everything. As the match approaches, Penelopea finds an unexpected ally in her dreams—a vibrant Carrot, who reminds her of the possibilities beyond the pea fields. Encouraged by this whimsical companion, Penelopea faces a series of comical and exhausting mattress challenges that test her resilience and grit. Will a new dream take root in Pea Town. Princess and the Pea grew from my fascination with stories that balance whimsy and truth. The world is full of contrasts—sameness and difference, tradition and change—and this story gave me a playful way to explore those tensions. I find joy in humor and its ability to break down barriers. If you really want to understand someone, listen to their jokes. Laughter creates connection, even when words fail. Pea Town begins as a world drained of possibility—strict, monotonous, and dictated by rules that make little sense. But just as life is rarely as orderly as we might expect, cracks begin to form, letting in light and color. I’m interested in stories that embrace the absurd and unexpected—where defiance isn’t grand rebellion, but small, human choices to see the world differently. In this ballet, change doesn’t come from declarations or doctrines, but from the quiet courage to imagine something more—the kind of courage that plants seeds of curiosity and hope, allowing them to grow in surprising ways. — Dani Rowe
WHO’S WHO in the PRODUCTION ASHLEY WHEATER
MBE (The Mary B. Galvin Artistic Director) has dedicated his life to dance. He was born in Scotland and trained at The Royal Ballet School in England. He worked with Frederick Ashton, Kenneth MacMillan, and Michael Somes in numerous ballets at Covent Garden, including Swan Lake, Sleeping Beauty, Giselle, Manon, Anastacia, and The Dream. Wheater danced with Rudolf Nureyev in Nureyev and Friends at the London Coliseum. On Nureyev’s advice, Wheater joined the London Festival Ballet and danced in his Romeo and Juliet and Sleeping Beauty. He danced in Glen Tetley’s Sphinx and Greening and in Festival Ballet’s large repertoire of classics and new creations. Under the artistic direction of John Field, he was promoted to principal dancer at the age of 20. In 1982, he joined the Australian Ballet where he continued dancing principal roles in both
classical and contemporary work, especially in the John Cranko full-length ballets. In 1985, at the invitation of Gerald Arpino, Wheater joined The Joffrey Ballet. For the next four years, he performed various works by American choreographers including William Forsythe, Gerald Arpino, Mark Morris, Paul Taylor, and Laura Dean, as well as repertoire by Ashton and Cranko. Joining the San Francisco Ballet in 1989, he continued his creative career working under Helgi Tomasson, and with choreographers James Kudelka, David Bintley, and many more. In 1997, he retired from dancing and was appointed ballet master and, later, assistant to the artistic director at the San Francisco Ballet. Since his appointment in 2007 as artistic director of The Joffrey Ballet, his passion and commitment to the Joffrey have been evident in the quality that he has brought to the dancing and to the repertoire. He has invited world-renowned choreographers, as well as fresh young talent, to create new work for the company. Wheater has added new full-length works to the Joffrey’s repertoire, including Lar
encore Lubovitch’s groundbreaking Othello, Ronald Hynd’s The Merry Widow, and Yuri Possokhov’s Don Quixote. In 2008, Wheater was the recipient of the Boeing Game-Changer Award in recognition of his commitment to community engagement in Chicago and to the celebration of diversity through dance. He sits on the Advisory Board for Dance Magazine, serves as the artistic advisor for ChiArts, and is the advisor to the arts for the Lincoln Academy of Illinois. In 2010, Wheater, representing The Joffrey Ballet, was named Lincoln Academy Laureate, the highest honor presented by the state of Illinois, and in 2013 the Chicago Tribune named him “Chicagoan of the Year”. In 2015, Wheater received the University of Chicago Rosenberger Medal for Outstanding Achievement in the Creative and Performing Arts.

DMITRI SHOSTAKOVICH (Music). Dmitri Shostakovich was born in St. Petersburg on September 25, 1906. Exceptionally talented, he entered the Petrograd Conservatory aged 13, studying piano and composition, and graduated in 1925 with his First Symphony op. 10. Its triumphant premiere in 1926 was followed by performances in Europe and the USA and, aged 19, Shostakovich was world-famous. In his youth Shostakovich wrote much for the theatre, producing three ballets and two masterly operas: The Nose op.15 (1928) and Lady Macbeth of the Mtsensk District op.29 (1932). After fierce and public criticism in 1936, apparently instigated by Stalin himself, he changed direction, and his output became predominately for the concert hall. Among a vast mass of orchestral, chamber and vocal music his two cycles of 15 symphonies and 15 string quartets stand supreme. Though still controversial, they are among the most frequently performed works of their century. Of the symphonies the Fifth op. 47 (1937), the Eighth op.65 (1943) and the Tenth op. 93 (1953) have entered the standard repertoire everywhere. The modernist Fourth op. 43 (1936), long suppressed by the Soviet authorities, is now recognized as a masterpiece, while the Seventh op. 60 (1941), written during the Siege of Leningrad, became a symbol of the wartime struggle throughout the Allied world.
Shostakovich worked closely with some of the greatest performers of his time. Evgeny Mravinsky premiered many of his orchestral works, and for the violinist David Oistrakh and the cellist Mstislav Rostropovich he wrote a pair of concertos each. His two piano concertos, more light-hearted pieces, were composed respectively for himself and for his son Maxim. The music of his final period, including his last two symphonies, his late quartets, his final vocal cycles and his Viola Sonata op.147 (1975), is spare and dark, reflective of much anguish. He died in Moscow on 9 August 1975. Dmitri Shostakovich is published by Boosey & Hawkes.

(This is slightly edited from the original version to sound better, but original version is here: https://www.boosey. com/composer/). JAMES STEPHENSON (Music). Jim Stephenson’s music has been described as “astonishingly inventive” (Musical America). Foremost in his style is the ability to create music that resonates with musicians and audiences alike. Since becoming a full-time composer in 2007, he has enjoyed premieres in all walks of the musical landscape, including The Chicago Symphony (Muti), San Francisco Ballet, Boston Pops, and “The President’s Own” U.S. Marine Band. The latter premiered his “Fanfare for Democracy” at the Inauguration of President Joe Biden. Other orchestras premiering Stephenson’s works include the Minnesota Orchestra (twice), St. Louis Symphony, Houston Symphony, Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music, and many others. The oneact comedy opera, Cåraboo – “the true story of a false princess” – premiered in June, 2023, marking his first foray into the world of opera. Upcoming projects include his fifth symphony, and a new ballet score for The Joffrey Ballet. His awardwinning catalog currently contains four symphonies (the 2nd being performed over 50 times around the world), and concertos and sonatas written for nearly every instrument, with premieres having been presented by renowned musicians across the globe. Using music to tell a story is a foremost and recent passion, fueling his growing catalog in opera and ballet. His educational work for young audiences, Once Upon a Symphony, is also indicative of that, having received nearly 400 performances world-wide. A conductor as well, Stephenson has led orchestras such as the Traverse City Philharmonic,
the Chattanooga Symphony, Boston Pro Arte, and symphonies of Modesto, Southwest Florida, Bozeman, among others. He recently had his conducting debuts at the New England Conservatory (his alma mater), and the Oregon Ballet Theatre.
