The Company <strong>Dance</strong> TheatreThe Company <strong>Dance</strong> Theatre is a product of a lifelong dream.In 1988, Tony Wilson formed the core that would become TheCompany <strong>Dance</strong> Theatre, and it was launched in 1989 at theLittle Theatre. Since then the company has delighted andexcited Jamaican audiences with its choreographic originalityand energy.The Company <strong>Dance</strong> Theatre is comprised of full companymembers, junior members and new recruits. <strong>Dance</strong>rs whohave excelled in the Junior Department are invited to takeclasses and learn the company repertoire. Promising dancersmove from this level to junior members of the company. TonyWilson is a dynamic teacher with innovative ideas and the giftof being able to impart them. His strong love and appreciationof music form a strong base for his works. His sense of theatreis apparent in his staging, costume and set designs for thecompany.The company is a non-profi t organisation run by a managementcommittee, comprised of interested friends andsupporters. All funding is provided by sponsorship from theprivate sector, and through donations of cash, fundraisingevents organised by the management committee and thecompany’s productions.The Company <strong>Dance</strong> Theatre has developed a distinctiverepertoire of unique style and artistic creativity borne out bycritical acclaim and enduring and growing audiences. It has setand maintained a reputation for a high standard of form andclarity and has displayed an abundance of vitality, high levelsof training and versatility in varied and exciting programmes.’Jamaica is a rich and multicultured country and I feel danceshould be exposed to and represent all these experiences. Tomy mind, for the past several years, dance teaching has beenlimited to the style developed by the Jamaican National <strong>Dance</strong>Theatre, and not enough emphasis placed on other techniquessuch as ballet, Graham, etc.’Tony Wilson, Artistic Director- 122 -100-149.indd 12221/6/06 3:31:18 pm

The Stella Maris (Young Adult)<strong>Dance</strong> EnsembleIn 1984, a fledgling dance troupe at Stella Maris PreparatorySchool on Shortwood Road began an exploration of movement,under the guidance of the school’s Principal, Sr Mary Josephs,and artistic director, MoniKa Lawrence. From these beginningsgrew a top dance workshop which included past students (agedbetween 15 and 23 years) of Stella Maris Preparatory School andof other schools. In 1994, the troupe celebrated its incrediblegrowth and considerable reputation with the launch of The StellaMaris <strong>Dance</strong> Ensemble, peopled by the senior dancers withinthe troupe. Since the ensemble’s 1997 Season, the troupe hasundergone several important changes – the most notable beingan addition to its name which now sees the group being calledThe Stella Maris (Young Adult) <strong>Dance</strong> Ensemble. Their balletmistress and tutor is Patsy Ricketts, and their resident tutor andchoreographer is Abledo (Tokie) Gonzales Fonseca.The Stella Maris (Young Adult) <strong>Dance</strong> Ensemble continuesthe long tradition of excellence in dance which was set by theStella Maris dancers. MoniKa Lawrence is the artistic directorand choreographer. Each year they have impressed judges andaudiences at the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission’s(JCDC) Festival <strong>Dance</strong> Competition. The company over theyears has been awarded some 81 gold medals, 10 silver and5 bronze medals for their achievement in dance. In 1989, theybecame the first group ever to win both the Junior and theIntermediate categories. Their consistent high achievementin the National <strong>Dance</strong> Competition also resulted in thembeing awarded gold medals for all 11 dances entered in1993. After a break of three years, the senior group/ensemblere-entered the JCDC Festival <strong>Dance</strong> Competition in 1997 and, inaddition to winning several gold medals for individual dances,the troupe topped the competition by winning the Ivy BaxterTrophy for the ‘Best Overall Group’. They won that trophy againin 1998, to take a second consecutive – and third overall – holdon the trophy.The dancers have also established a fine reputation overseas.In 1986, they became the youngest group to represent Jamaicaoverseas when they toured the Cayman Islands with ‘Stella’sTale’ – a Christmas pantomime produced by the school. In July1994, the dancers also represented Jamaica at the FourteenthAnnual <strong>Caribbean</strong> Cultural Festival of Art, which was held inSantiago de Cuba. They have represented Jamaica at festivals inMexico and Spain. In 2002, the ensemble represented Jamaicaat the augural <strong>Caribbean</strong> Music Festival that was staged inJapan, as a means of forging closer cultural and economic tiesbetween CARICOM countries and Japan. It was the first timethat a Jamaican dance company performed in Japan. During thatsame year, the dance troupe represented Jamaica in Japan atthe Sakai World Performing Festival. They have also performedin 2004 at The Black Academy of Arts and Letters in Dallas Texas,receiving rave reviews. The Stella Maris dancers have alwaysremained true to their motto ‘Success through Hard Work’, andhave been dedicated in their pursuit of excellence.MoniKa Lawrence, Artistic Director- 138 -100-149.indd 13821/6/06 3:31:56 pm
