It s no mystery that the fall of Soviet Russia also ebbed away at the size, reputations and rigidity of the classical ballet school model, former fomenting grounds for some of the world s elite dancers. Some art directors are seeing a similar erosion in the world of modern dance, finding newer artists and audiences may be mistaking post-modern for modern. Austin boasts dozens of dance companies, and some art directors are wondering aloud if the post-modern movement has overwhelmed the stage leaving little room for inspiration stemming from traditional modern themes and styles immortalized by choreographers and dancers like Jose Limon, Martha Graham, Paul Taylor, Glen Tetley and Lester Horton. I have dancers in my company that have never heard of iconoclasts such as [continued on Expose-3] South Padre Island, Texas The Upper Deck Hotel & Bar Join Us for Your Next Vacation Pool, Hot Tub Resort-1/2 block to Gay Beach PO Box 2309, 120 E.

3 texas...from Expose-2 Rudolf Nureyev, Mary Anthony, Joyce Trisler and even Baryshnikov if they haven t seen him on Sex and the City. said Rodolfo Mendez, artistic director for Ballet East Dance Company, I m worried the education is not there and that I m one of the last of a breed imparting the differences between modern and post-modern dance. In Austin for 30 years, Ballet East Dance Company was founded in 1978 on the east side of Austin, Texas, the city s traditionally Latino and African American neighborhood. Wanting to bring the stylized tradition of modern dance to this community and the city at large, Mendez integrated dance, arts, minority youth outreach and artist development reflective of his professional training under the modern greats Martha Graham, Alvin Ailey and Joyce Trisler. He has prioritized the introduction of these classic styles in modern dance through the vehicles of visiting choreographers who excel and specialize in such genres. The artistic director of the Joyce Trisler Danscompany Regina Larkin is returning this year to infuse some of this old modern guard back onto the Austin dance scene. said Mendez. A student of Horton and Trisler and in New York City, I count on Regina to unveil to young students in Austin the necessary history of modern dance.

King Tut Exhibit to Return to the U.S. for Encore Tour; Opening at Dallas Museum of Art in October 2008 Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs, the exhibition that drew nearly 4 million visitors during its two-year, four-city tour, will return to the United States for a three-city encore tour. Following the success of the first tour, which broke records at each of the four museums it visited in the United States from June 2005 through September 2007, the exhibition will return from its current London engagement to open at the Dallas Museum of Art (DMA) in October 2008, followed by visits to two yet to be named museums. When the exhibition opened in Los Angeles in 2005, it marked the first time in more than 25 years that treasures from King Tut s tomb were shown in the United States. The Dallas engagement marks the first time these artifacts will be seen in the Southwest region. The current exhibition includes an extensive array of more than 130 extraordinary artifacts from the tomb of Tutankhamun and other ancient Egyptian sites. The return of the exhibition to the United States will include a selection of artifacts that are new to the exhibit and have never before been seen outside of Egypt. Dallas is a perfect place for King Tut, said Zahi Hawass, secretary general of Egypt s Supreme Council of Antiquities. I want everyone in Texas to know that the boy king is coming to town, and I personally invite everyone to see this great exhibition so that a new generation of people will experience the history and magic of the boy king. The exhibition is organized by National Geographic, Arts and Exhibitions International and AEG Exhibitions, with cooperation from the Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities. Northern Trust is the presenting sponsor of the encore tour and American Airlines, the world s largest airline, will be the official airline of the exhibition. We are honored to be the first institution to host the encore tour of Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs, stated John R. Lane, The Eugene McDermott Director of the Dallas Museum of Art. The Dallas Museum of Art is one of the Southwest region s largest art museums, and as today s announcement dramatically demonstrates, one which prides itself on presenting exhibitions of international significance. The DMA is extremely pleased to be able to share these exceptional works of ancient Egyptian art with the community we serve and to further reinforce the Dallas Arts District as an important destination for visitors seeking the best in cultural experiences. Proceeds generated from the world tour are being used to help preserve Egypt s treasures, including the construction of a new museum in Cairo where antiquities will be housed. Opening on October 3, 2008, at the Dallas Museum of Art, Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs provides insight into the life of Tutankhamun and other royals of the 18th Dynasty (1555 B.C B.C.). All of the treasures in the exhibition are between 3,300 and 3,500 years old. Tutankhamun was one of the last kings of Egypt s 18th Dynasty and ruled during a crucial, turmoil-filled period of Egyptian history. The boy king died under mysterious circumstances around age 18 or 19, in the ninth year of his reign (1323 B.C.). Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs offers glimpses of that evolving period. On display are 50 of Tutankhamun s burial objects, including his royal diadem - the gold crown discovered encircling the head of his mummified body that he likely wore as king - and one of the gold and precious stone inlaid canopic coffinettes that contained his mummified internal organs. More than 70 additional objects from tombs of 18th Dynasty royals, as well as several non-royal individuals, also are exhibited. These stone, faience and wooden pieces from burial sites before Tut s reign give visitors a sense of what the lost burials of other royalty and commoners may have been like. Tickets to the exhibition at the Dallas Museum of Art can be reserved now at tickets go on sale to museum members in April 2008 and to the public in July Group tickets can be reserved now by calling GROUP.
