The Ruth Page Foundation School of Dance
Details...
Ms. Page choreographed, danced, toured and produced in all parts of the world. She was employed by, collaborated with, and employed some of the greatest artists of the 20th century including Irving Berlin, Aaron Copland, and Anna Pavlova. She was the first American ballerina to dance with Diaghilev's Ballet Russe in 1925. In 1932, Ruth Page became fascinated with modern dance and embarked on a long association with Harald Kreutzberg, a member of the German Expressionistic dance school of Mary Wigman. During the years of the Great Depression, Ms. Page was the director of the Chicago Works Progress Administration (WPA) Dance Project. Perhaps Ruth is best remembered for her tireless work in founding and operating dance companies in Chicago. She served as choreographer/director of The Nutcracker at Chicago's Arie Crown Theater in McCormick Place, when it premiered in 1965 until the mid 1980's. She was the first American choreographer to employ Rudolf Nureyev after his defection from the Kirov Ballet to the West.
Standing today in Chicago is The Ruth Page Foundation, housing a performing arts center and school of dance. The Chicago Dance community annually gives the Ruth Page Awards for outstanding dance achievement in Chicago, a dance series is produced in her honor by Northeastern Illinois University and an annual Ruth Page Week of Dance is presented by the Ravinia Festival.
