Wilkinson broke the color barrier in 1955 when she signed a contract to dance full time with the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. She was promoted to soloist during her second season with the troupe, and remained with the company for six years. Wilkinson later became a mentor to American Ballet Theatre principal dancer Misty Copeland, presenting Copeland with the 2014 ''Dance Magazine'' Award. == Early life == She was born Anne Raven Wilkinson in New York City on November 2, 1935 to Anne James Wilkinson and Dr. Frost Bernie Wilkinson, a dentist. She had a brother six years younger, Frost Bernie Wilkinson Jr. The family lived in a middle-class neighborhood in Harlem.〔BlackPast.org, Anne Raven Wilkinson http://www.blackpast.org/aah/wilkinson-anne-raven-1935〕 Her father's office at 152nd Street and Amsterdam Avenue was located across the street from the Dance Theatre of Harlem.〔Michael Langlois, A Conversation with Raven Wilkinson, Ballet Review, Fall 2007 http://www.balletreview.com/images/Ballet_Review_35-3_Raven_Wilkinson.pdf〕 Wilkinson became a ballet fan at the age of five after seeing Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo perform Coppelia.〔Margaret Fuhrer, An Interview with Raven Wilkinson, Pointe Magazine, June–July 2014 http://www.pointemagazine.com/issues/junejuly-2014/web-exclusive-interview-raven-wilkinson〕 Her mother, who had studied ballet in Chicago, took young Raven to the School of American Ballet for lessons. But, they said they could not accept her until she was nine, so she initially trained in the Dalcroze method. According to Wilkinson, "It was basically eurhythmics and was all about music and tempi and meters."〔Dance USA, Raven Wilkinson: 2015 Dance/USA Trustee Awardee https://www.danceusa.org/ejournal/2015/05/29/raven-wilkinson-2015-danceusa-trustee-awardee〕 For her ninth birthday, an uncle made her the gift of ballet lessons at the Swoboda School, later known as the Ballet Russe School.〔 Wilkinson's first teachers included well-known dancers from Russia’s Bolshoi Theatre, Maria and Vecheslav Swoboda.〔〔Andros on Ballet, Raven Wilkinson http://michaelminn.net/andros/biographies/wilkinson_raven/〕 Sergei Denham, director of the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, bought the Swoboda School in 1951, giving Wilkinson an opportunity to audition for the troupe. Although she was light-skinned, acceptance into a ballet company was unlikely because of her race. Fellow ballet students also advised her not to seek a position.〔African American Registry, Raven Wilkinson, Ballet Pioneer http://www.aaregistry.org/historic_events/view/raven-wilkinson-ballet-pioneer〕 But, in 1954, Wilkinson auditioned for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. She was rejected. On a second attempt, she was rejected once again. On her third try, in 1955, Denham informed her that she had been accepted on a six-week trial basis. She was 20 years old. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Raven Wilkinson」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016. All Rights Reserved.
