About The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College

The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts, an environment for world-class artistic presentation in the Hudson Valley, was designed by Frank Gehry and opened in2003. Risk-taking performances and provocative programs take place in the 800-seatSosnoff Theater, a proscenium-arch space, and in the 220-seat Theater Two, which features a flexible seating configuration. The Center is home to Bard College’s DanceProgram and Theater and Performance Program, and host to two annual summer festi-vals: SummerScape, which offers opera, dance, theater, operetta, film, and cabaret; andthe Bard Music Festival, which celebrated its 23rd year in August, with “Saint-Saëns andHis World.” The 2013 festival will be devoted to Igor Stravinsky, with a special weekendfocusing on the works of Duke Ellington.

The Center bears the name of the late Richard B. Fisher, the former chair of Bard College’sBoard of Trustees. This magnificent building is a tribute to his vision and leadership.

The outstanding arts events that take place here would not be possible without the contributions made by the Friends of the Fisher Center. We are grateful for their supportand welcome all donations.

The 2012 fall season at the Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts is madepossible in part through grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and theNew York State Council on the Arts, as well as through the generous support of theBoard of The Richard B. Fisher Center for the Performing Arts at Bard College, theBoard of the Bard Music Festival, and the Friends of the Fisher Center.

The Moor’s Pavane(Variations on a Theme of Othello)

Choreography José LimónMusic Henry PurcellArrangement Simon Sadoff(From “Abdelazer,” “The Gordian Knot Untied,” and the pavane from Pavane andChaconne for Strings)Direction and Reconstruction Clay TaliaferroCostumes Pauline Lawrence

Though subtitled “Variations on a Theme of Othello,” this dance is not intended as achoreographic version of Shakespeare’s play. In the form of a pavane and otherdances of the high Renaissance, the legend is told of the hapless Moor and hiswrongfully suspected wife, and the Moor’s treacherous friend and his wife. The fourcharacters portray the tragedy of Everyman, and the ballet is, therefore, timeless inits implications.

The Moor’s Pavane was first performed at the Palmer Auditorium, ConnecticutCollege, New London, Connecticut, at the Second American Dance Festival on August 17, 1949, and danced by José Limón (The Moor), Betty Jones (The Moor’s Wife),Lucas Hoving (His Friend), and Pauline Koner (His Friend’s Wife).

The Moor’s Pavane was first performed by American Ballet Theatre on June 27, 1970,at the New York State Theater and danced by Bruce Marks (The Moor), Toni Lander(The Moor’s Wife), Royes Fernandez (His Friend), and Sallie Wilson (His Friend’s Wife).
