Question
While working at this company, Christian Holder was personally trained by Kurt Jooss for the role of Death in its revival of The Green Table. This was the first ballet company to appear on the cover of TIME magazine, which celebrated its new ballet Astarte. Christopher Wheeldon’s choreography of The Nutcracker for this company transplants the setting to a fairground shack. Six graffiti artists spray paint the backdrop on stage in a ballet commissioned by this company that features songs like (*) “Got to Know the Woman” and “Cuddle Up.” That Beach Boys ballet, Deuce Coupe, was Twyla (“TWIGH-luh”) Tharp’s first ever commission. In 1987, this company premiered Millicent Hodson’s reconstruction of Vaslav Nijinsky’s lost original choreography for The Rite of Spring. For 10 points, name this ballet company founded by Gerald Arpino and its namesake choreographer, located in Chicago. ■END■
