Lynne Taylor Corbett has created some of her most inspiring choreography on Carolina Ballet. She has worked with the company extensively for 10 years and has developed deep knowledge of the strengths of the Carolina Ballet dancers. Lynn has also familiarized herself with the North Carolina Triangle region. In North Carolina, Lynne is most recognized for her lively crowd pleaser “Carolina Jamboree” featuring music by the Red Clay Ramblers, (a North Carolinian blue grass band). During the live performances of Carolina Jamboree, The Red Clay Ramblers are integrated with the professional dancers. Lynne wanted local music to be soul of her work in Carolina Jamboree and this is clearly presented by having the live band elevated on stage with the dancers. The intermissions of the piece are even choreographed balletically and musically. The Red Clay Ramblers play interludes with active audience and dancer participation. Carolina Ballet received rave reviews for its revival of Carolina Jamboree in 2013, both at the Raleigh Memorial Auditorium and at the Durham Performing Arts Center (DPAC). The ballet choreography in Carolina Jamboree evokes lively folk dancing shown through several solos, pas de deuxs, and group dances. The “Red Rocking Chair” female solo is deeply moving in its depiction of a mother who has lost her newborn. Lynne’s Taylor Corbett’s work in Carolina Jamboree carries a strong sense of nationalism towards American dance. The ballet is split into three acts. The first: “Appalachia Stories,” the second: “The Mystery of Nell Cropsey,” and the third: “Fiddlesticks.” All three sections touch on the hardships of the Great Depression and the joys of overcoming such hard times. Carolina Jamboree is a true testament to Lynne’s Taylor-Corbett’s talent. The piece showcases dancers abilities both technically and emotionally and it is a joy to view as an audience member.
