UC's Phyllis 'Bill' Manchester,
world-renowned dance authority
Phyllis Winifred "Bill' Manchester, an internationally renowned dance historian and critic who taught dance history at the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music for 24 years, died Monday. She was 91.
Ms. Manchester's career as a dance critic, editor and educator extended over 50 years. She retired in 1993.
Born in London, Ms. Manchester came to the United States in 1951 to become a guest editor for "Dance News" after having written on dance in England. Her work in England included "Vic-Wells: A Ballet Progress," which chronicles the first 10 years of the company that is now known as the Royal Ballet.
Cincinnati dance writer Janet Light said Ms. Manchester "used her brilliance of mind eclectically and generously as a critic and a mentor."
"She was well-versed in a wide number of subjects from Shakespeare and Dickens to baseball," Ms. Light said.
Ms. Manchester remained with "Dance News" until 1969. After having been willed the magazine by publisher Anatole Chujoy, who had died in 1969, she decided to sell it.
She also served as New York dance critic for the Christian Science Monitor from 1961-68.
Clive Barnes, theater and dance critic for the New York Post, said Ms. Manchester took an interest in him as a young writer in London. "She was extremely generous to young writers," Barnes said.
"When I was a student at university (Oxford), I wrote for her magazine "Ballet Today' in London. She was very insistent on people seeing the best. She thought Igor Yousevitch was the master stylist.
"In those days, I used to sit in the gallery. I had never sat down in the posh seats of Covent Garden. She put me on her second press seat to see Yousevitch from a good seat."
Ms. Manchester achieved international fame for co-editing "The Dance Encyclopedia" in 1967. It is regarded as one of the most authoritative reference books in dance.
"The ballet world has lost the last of the true historians," said Frederic Franklin, a famous English dancer of the 1930s-50s and now a choreographer who has staged and created many ballets for the Cincinnati Ballet. "She was a lady with an abundant knowledge.
"Also, she was the kind of critic who was very firm in her convictions and always pointed out to all of us where we had made the mistakes, as she thought, and where we could rectify them. A true lady of the ballet.
"She saw me dance with the Markova-Dolin Ballet Company (in England) and was instrumental in giving me a great boost at the very beginning of my career," said Franklin.
"From then on when she came here from England, I would see her periodically, and we would discuss me. She gave me wonderful and pointed ways of attacking things that were very difficult for me in my early stages."
Ms. Manchester's Cincinnati years began when the late artistic director of the Cincinnati Ballet, David McLain, invited her to become guest lecturer in dance and history at UC's newly formed Dance Division in the College-Conservatory of Music.
Charles B. Levinson, a longtime supporter of the Cincinnati Ballet, said Ms. Manchester "was most knowledgeable of ballet and an expert on its terminology. We will miss her."
She certainly was a great asset to the Cincinnati community and to the Cincinnati Ballet company."
In 1970, Ms. Manchester began her teaching career at CCM as an adjunct professor. At her retirement, she was named Professor Emerita. She gave the library from her Dance News office to UC. It is known as the Anatole Chujoy Collection.
In 1988, she received the Dance Magazine Award, considered one of the most important in the dance world. She also received a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to record 18 30-minute programs about the history of ballet in 1975. The series was broadcast on National Public Radio in 1988.
Ms. Manchester preferred to be called "Bill" - the pet name her father had given her - rather than Phyllis Winifred, her given name.
She leaves a niece, Margaret Ross of Rockford, Ill., and several other nieces and nephews in Great Britain and America.
A memorial service in Cincinnati will be announced later. Memorials: University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music or Scarlet Oaks Retirement Community. Arrangements: Anderson Baiter & Sahnd Funeral Home, Clifton.
