Y. parley By Irene Jones Tnbune Staff tt riter "Its time people stop making classifications, said John Butler, referring to modem dance and ballet "Dance is an individual language, whether it is contemporarv or classical " v of Rine- Woodbury Dance Company, Shirley Rine and Joan Woodbury, are scheduled to leave for New York to today atend the four-daregional conference for the Program. They also will travel to Washington, DC., Chicago and San Francisco. The conference will provide performing companies and sponsoring organizations with an opportunity to meet and discuss residency objectives, determine performance alternatives and confirm teaching and performing schedules for the upcoming season. Mr Butler, guest choreographer with Ballet West for the past three weeks, completed his work m Salt Lake City this week and has returned to his home m New York. Mr. Butler was here to set "Carmona for Ballet West as part of its 1973-7season. The dance will receive its Salt Lake premiere m March. Mr. Butler also feels there is no comparison between dance companies. "Each company offers something different," he explained. "Pans Opera has excellent technical talent, while Americans have more energy and dme. Australians have great physical strength, but m Tel A iv dancers have a completely different temperment. They are difficult to work with, but give a fantastic performance. The Tennessee-borchoreographer spends at least eight or nine months each year m Europe with dance companies there. He is closely associated with Nederlands Dans Theater and staged Carmrna Burana" for that company m 1962. Carmina Burana, a dance Mr. Butler feels a certain affection for, was one of his first big productions The ballet is done in three acts, includes a chorus and is based on lusty 13th Century verse. Mr. Butler returns in March before the premiere to check on last minute details.

The piano would launch into a few bars of Minkuss Don Quixote; Makarova would flap open her fan, spring into life, flash a glorious smile (for the benefit of the Canadian Broadcasting Corp cameras filming the rehearsal) and glance at Martin as if she had just found true love. Of course I am emotional, said Natalia Makarova. You could see that for yourself. But an artist is not simply technique. An artist is emotion as well. Changes Clothes Makarova Natalia had changed her clothes and her mood. from the m fresh white room dressing slacks and a matching blouse, said she was comfortable, sipped the coffee her director had brought and settled down to avoid a whole senes of questions. Makarova was not willing to discuss politics. Makarova was not willing to discuss her private life (because then it would not be pnvate); Makarova, above all, was not enchanted by the prospect of discussing "Nureyev?

"Makarova claimed she defected in order to try differ- ent forms of ballet, to get away from straight classical dancing. But the only things she really enjoyed doing when she got to the States were Giselle and La Sylphide and Swan Lake a lot of the same old stuff she did at the Kirov. Makarova goes through moods like she goes through ballet companies and men. No amount of applause is ever enough. No amount of love is ever enough. Back in 1970, however, things seemed different. Makarova settled upon the American Ballet Theater, $90,000 for her first year, and a smorgasbord of a repertoire that included classical as well as modern selections.
