message: I have a friend (a new editor) who would like to make some changes to this article, and was looking for advice on how to do it.  I personally know almost nothing about ballet and (in particular) about the Joffrey Ballet, but I still have opinions.  It seems the prose in the 
"History" section, the "Popular culture" subsection, "Reconstructing The Rite of Spring" subsection, and the "Activities" sections should be merged.  The whole article should mostly be a history of the Joffrey Ballet, and should be a bit more chronological, with (roughly) chronologically ordered sections underneath:
# Early years (perhaps the "Harkness years"; 1956 to 1964)
# Residency at New York City Center (1965 to 1995)
# Expansion to and retreat from Los Angeles (1982 to 1995)
# The Chicago years (1995 to present)
Please don't literally use these titles, since they're awful titles.  Hopefully, someone who understands the historical eras of the Joffrey Ballet can help come up with better titles, and perhaps provide some better-informed nuance to my proposed outline. -- RobLa (talk) 06:51, 6 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I would say that as long as they know something about writing and about citing for any new material they bring, they should feel free to take a shot at it, just so long as they won't be offended if some of their changes may either be reverted or further modified. My one concrete suggestion is that if they are removing anything substantive from the article, they should bring that up overtly on the talk page. - Jmabel | Talk 01:05, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

message: As I was going through Wikimedia Commons' archive of the Seattle underground newspaper Helix I ran across an intriguing ad for an August 1967 performance at Seattle's Eagles Auditorium featuring the "City Center Joffrey Experimental Ballet", several rock bands, and a light show. Needless to say, I was at first suspicious, but it was totally real. The Joffrey had a summer residency at Pacific Lutheran University (PLU) in Tacoma, Washington, culminating in a series of performances in Seattle and Tacoma. This was the first of the series: a 20-minute piece in which Seattle band Crome Syrcus (who surely deserve an article) performed their own arrangement of the music of Teo Macero ("Opus 65"). The piece was performed at least three more times in a more conventional ballet venue at PLU. This must have been one of the first times that a ballet company collaborated with a rock band, though I don't have any citation for that. There is more than sufficient citation for the residency and for this performance in various issues of the Seattle Times that summer, notably Wayne Johnson, "Opus 65. Joffrey Ballet Swings at Show", Seattle Times, August 3, 1967, p. 35.
I would think something about this probably belongs in the article; I have no idea how much, though, and I'm really focused on the Helix archive right now. If anyone wants to work on this and lacks access to the Seattle Times archive, I can probably arrange to get you access: it's online at the Seattle Public Library, and they are pretty generous about giving access to people with a legitimate research need. - Jmabel | Talk 01:20, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
