[Adta] Ruthanna Boris

[LENYA ARNOLD]

If Ruthanna's manucscript is not published in NYC, would it be possible for the Marion Chace Foundation to publish it for ADTA members like myself who would like to know more about this amazing woman?

  It is touching to read the tributes to Ruthanna in the listserv,
  unfortunately, many had lost touch with her in recent years.

  Her manuscript about Mr. B, (George Balanchine) which also has a section
  devoted to Marian Chace is in the hands of NYC editors and publishers.   If
  it is not deemed publishable, it will be archived in a suitable location.
  As many have mentioned, Ruthanna was an amazing raconteur with knowledge of
  the ballet stars of the 20th Century and her remembrances are valuable.  

  Her ballet "Cakewalk" was given to the current director of the Kansas City
  Ballet, William Whitener, with heritage  through Todd Bolander to NYC
  Ballet, and whom she trusted with the work.

  NYC Ballet has been asked to dedicate a spring performance of the ballet
  "Seranade" to Ruthanna's memory, and if that happens, I will inform the
  listserv.

  She was indeed a remarkable person, whose career paralled that of Marian
  Chace: dance student; dance performer in a touring troupe; choreographer;
  dance teacher; dance therapist; and dance therapy leader.  She held to a
  powerful and passionate belief system and did not waver.

  I inadvertently omitted her term as chair of the Norhtern California Chapter
  of ADTA  and that she was survived by a brother in my notice to the listerv.
  I regret that, but it was an emotional flood for me to get the notice
  posted.

  As she suffered from cancer, she opted not to have a third double hip
  replacement and was confined to a wheel chair..  Years ealier, I recall her
  jubilant appearance to present at the Marian Chace Memorial Foundation
  lecture without her "sticks" (metal walking braces that she used for years).
  She had had a hip replacement and  was also wearing pink/fuschia suede boots
  and was in extremely high spirits.   

  It is a rare gift to have had a colleague/friend like Ruthanna Boris.
