Sample text
Stravinsky was “perplexed and jittery,” according to his publisher Gabriel Paichadze. “He could neither eat nor sleep, he could not work . . he got angry, nervous and irritable. ”19 Stravinsky fled with Vera to begin anew. Months after Vera arrived in the United States, they married in Massachusetts in 1940. They settled in Los Angeles and applied for naturalization. America, for Stravinsky, was a refuge from the past. But in itself it held no obvious attractions. His elitist politics and personality remained those of a finicky Parisian or of a Russian dispossessed by Lenin.
18 The dance historian Brenda Dixon Gottschild has additionally proposed that, on a deeper level, the Americanisms of the Balanchine style—whether offshoots of Broadway, Hollywood, or jazz—align with African-American dance as experienced in Paris (where Balanchine danced Snowball in blackface for Diaghilev and later worked with Josephine Baker), on Broadway (where he admired the “rhythm and precision” of Katherine Dunham’s dancers in Cabin in the Sky*), or at the City Ballet (where his AfricanAmerican soloist Arthur Mitchell, once a tap dancer, was regularly invited to “show these kids old-fashioned jazz”).

The thirty minutes of Serenade suggest a trajectory of maturation starting in semidarkness with the dancers assuming the first position: a chrysalis. The stage brightens and the dancing begins. The second movement is a gentle waltz. The third (not part of 34 ARTISTS IN EXILE the original ballet) is a vigorous Russian dance that high-kicking Moiseyev Cossacks might have appropriated, here deracinated as an exhilarating catalyst for freed bodies and spirits.
