DESCRIPTION:This lecture is open to the public. It is part of the offering 
 of the Space Between Society's annual conference. For more information vis
 it the conference website.When the Great War shuttered stages across Europ
 e\, Serge Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes took his famed dance company to Ameri
 ca. While most scholars focus on the New York run of Diaghilev’s two Ameri
 can tours\, this talk centers on the impact the Ballets Russes had in the 
 Midwest: America’s “space between.” I investigate the tours’ impact in thr
 ee Midwestern cities: Chicago\, Cincinnati\, and Dayton. First\, I examine
  the dance scene Diaghilev arrived to find in the Midwest\, and then look 
 at the engagements from 1916 through 1918 highlighting the distinctly midw
 estern sensibilities of the press coverage. The talk concludes by examinin
 g some of the longstanding impacts of the Ballets Russes’ visits on the in
 novative dance legacies of these famed midwestern cities.Samuel N. Dorf cu
 rrently serves as Acting Executive Director of the University Honors Progr
 am and Professor of Music at the University of Dayton (UD). Next year he w
 ill begin an appoint as the Alumni Endowed Chair in the Humanities at UD. 
 As a scholar he often writes on the continual performance and reinvention 
 of music and dance from the ancient world and the complex relationship bet
 ween scholars and their objects of study. His monograph\, Performing Antiq
 uity: Ancient Greek Music and Dance from Paris to Delphi\, 1890-1935 (Oxfo
 rd University Press\, 2019) examines the performance and reinvention of an
 cient Greek music and dance in fin-de-siècle Paris\, and queer music recep
 tion. His current research interests include the performance of ancient mu
 sics today\, the history of musical historically-informed performance prac
 tice\, music and dance relations and the intersections of music and culina
 ry historiography. Event Webpage: https://spacebetweensociety.com/home/202
