- Biography
- American dancer, choreographer, director, and teacher, Richard Englund (1931-1991), served as the leader of several small dance companies, including the pioneering regional ballet company, Birmingham Civic Ballet, as well as training companies for both American Ballet Theatre and the Joffrey Ballet. Born in Seattle, Washington, Englund studied dance with Mary Ann Wells, with whom Robert Joffrey also trained. He received a scholarship and attended Harvard University, before transferring to the Juilliard School as a dance major in 1951. Englund danced with the Metropolitan Opera Ballet from 1953-1955 and the National Ballet of Canada from 1955-1957. His major interest, however, was in choreographing and directing, rather than performing. In 1957, after appearing as guest artist with the Birmingham Civic Ballet, he accepted an invitation to direct the company, remaining through 1959. He then returned to New York where he danced in the original productions of the Broadway musicals, Greenwillow (1960) and Camelot (1960). At the end of 1959, Englund married Gage Bush, whom he had met in Birmingham, and they both joined American Ballet Theatre.In 1962, Englund returned to Birmingham to lead the Birmingham Civic Ballet, the first of several companies he would direct. The company became well-respected and grew under his leadership, but Englund left the company in 1967 after problems with board members. During the summer of 1967, Englund began a new venture, based in Suffolk County on Long Island, New York. This project involved forming a small professional dance company, the Huntington Dance Ensemble, to give performances and to work as artists-in-residence in the schools of the district. Englund remained with the Huntington Dance Ensemble until it was forced to disband, due to a loss of federal funding. In 1970, with a new source of funding, the small company was renamed Dance Repertory Company and toured the country giving performances and residencies through 1972. In the fall of 1972, Dance Repertory Company was taken under Ballet Theatre Foundation as its own training company. Renamed Ballet Repertory Company, Englund served as its director. In 1981, the company's name was changed again to American Ballet Theatre II (ABT II). In connection with Ballet Theatre Foundation, Englund also directed summer training programs for young dancers. He and Oliver Smith also co-directed Ballet Theatre Workshop, a program to develop new choreographers. By mid-1985, Ballet Theatre Foundation ended the company and its training programs. In the fall of 1985, at the invitation of Robert Joffrey, Englund took over the directorship of Joffrey II, the training company of the Joffrey Ballet. He also became responsible for its annual Choreographers' Workshop program. Englund was working with this group at the time of his death.
