From the original program: "I am honored to dedicate this series of perfromances, marking the Company's 10th anniversary, to Rose Marie Wright. Without her these pieces would not exist. - Twyla Tharp"
Give and Take was created for the tenth anniversary of Tharp's company and was performed only for that season. The work, created in the American Bicentennial year, was also an homage to George Balanchine for his contributions to ballet in America. In the long-standing musical tradition of basing a set of variations on an existing theme, Tharp samples a phrase from his ballet Stars and Stripes. The resulting variations were presented as a thank you to Mr. Balanchine, who was in attendance for the premiere.
