and I have been corresponding regularly. Throughout 2001 and 2002, we
have been discussing my project at length. I pull from these letters
throughout this paper.[endfootnote] and a way of approaching dance
that emphasized deep emotional awareness.[footnote]In an article in
[ital]Attitude[endital], Mary Anthony said: "I go back to Isadora
Duncan who said that you move from the center of your body. This is
where you feel anger, this is where you feel pain, this is where you
feel sorrow, and movement comes from here to the periphery...I feel
today there's so much emphasis on technique and not enough on soul, on
feeling, on emotion" (Jennings 1999).[endfootnote]
Bess Imber has been a valuable member of Dayton Ballet from her return
to Dayton in the mid 1960s until she stopped teaching at their school
thirty years later. During that time, she not only performed,
choreographed, and taught, but also served as Assistant Artistic
Director under Josephine Schwarz in the 1970s and became Artistic
Director of the training company, Dayton Ballet II in 1980. A complete
investigation of her personal dance history, her influences, and her
impact, while not possible here, is a story worth telling. Such an
investigation would not only enrich dance history, but the history of
Dayton and Ohio at large.[footnote]Biographical information about
Imber has been compiled from program notes found in the Dayton Ballet
archives at Wright State University, personal correspondence with
Imber in 2002, interviews I conducted with Imber in 2001--2002, and
programs and articles in Imber's personal archive.[endfootnote]
In 1988, Imber's [ital]A Woman: England, 1942[endital] premiered on
the stage of the Victory Theater in Dayton, Ohio with Barbara
Pontecorvo in the title role.[footnote]Dayton Ballet program February
11--14, 1988.[endfootnote] The dance, to William Bolcom's [ital]Duo
Fantasy for violin and piano[endital], is for a woman, a dress, and
(briefly) a male dancer. I was 14, a member of Dayton Ballet II, and
saw almost every performance that season and when it was included in
the repertoire the following year. My reaction to the ballet was
immediate and shocking. As a young ballet dancer, I was drawn to the
classical vocabulary and was further intrigued by the expressive
challenges of the role. Since that time, I have been dying to get
inside of it, knowing that there was life in that dance I had to
experience for myself. My graduate education at The Ohio State
University provided the perfect opportunity (excuse?) to get closer to
this complex piece of work and the artist who created it.
For me, this ballet successfully combines the ultimate physical power
of the ballerina and smart storytelling. It tackles the deep emotional
experience of expressive modern dance yet turns to classical ballet
vocabulary to get the job done. Looking closely at this work, as well
as Imber's personal dance history, can contribute answers to the
questions being asked now by feminist scholars about how female ballet
choreographers can use classical vocabulary to tell their own stories.

In the case of the localized solution, under the full CI calculation,
there would be a 50% probability for the hole to be localized on each
oxygen center. Also, the initial-guess molecular orbitals used in the
Configuration Interaction (CI) calculations were derived from the
hole-state calculation where the valence and the Rydberg states were
allowed to transform in the presence of the hole on the oxygen 1s
centers.
[section]Results and Discussion[endsection]
UO[sub]2[endsub][super]2+[endsuper] is a linear molecule with a closed
shell ground state configuration of
[sigma][sub]u[endsub][super]2[endsuper]([delta][sub]u[endsub],
[phi][sub]u[endsub][super]0[endsuper]. Figure 3 shows the qualitative
molecular orbital diagram of UO[sub]2[endsub][super]2+[endsuper]
(Matsika et al. 2001). The U[super]6+[endsuper] ions split the 2p
states of the nearest neighbor O[super]2-[endsuper] ions into [sigma]
and [pi] orbitals. Due to the presence of the O[super]2-[endsuper]
ligand field, the 5f orbital will split as f[delta] [sim] f[phi] <<
f[pi] < f[sigma], and the 6d orbital will split as d[delta] < d[pi] <<
d[sigma]. The splitting of 6d is more than that of 5f because the
latter is more radially contracted than the former. These states then
form linear combinations appropriate for the desired symmetry of the
UO[sub]2[endsub][super]2+[endsuper] site to compose the main
contribution to the valence bands. The highest occupied electrons in
the valence shell are the bonding electrons occupying the
[sigma][sub]u[endsub], [pi][sub]u[endsub], [sigma][sub]g[endsub], and
[pi][sub]g[endsub]$ molecular orbitals principally derived from oxygen
2p orbitals. The excitations from one of these bonding electrons to
unoccupied metal-centered valence orbitals will constitute ligand to
metal charge-transfer transitions.
The most acceptable description (Groller-Warland and Vanquickenborne
1972) of the uranyl complexes seems to be expressed by the order
V[sub]ax[endsub] > e[super]2[endsuper]/r[sub]ij[endsub] >
H[sub]so[endsub] > V[sub]eq[endsub], where V[sub]ax[endsub] describes
the axial field of the oxygen atoms of the uranyl entity,
H[sub]so[endsub] stands for the spin-orbit interaction, and
V[sub]ax[endsub] describes the equatorial field of other atoms such as
chloride ions in the complex of
UO[sub]2[endsub]Cl[sub]4[endsub][super]2-[endsuper].
In the case of isolated UO[sub]2[endsub][super]2+[endsuper], the
equilibrium bond length R[sub]e[endsub](U-O) is 1.67 [angstrom] and
the O=U=O symmetric stretch vibrational frequency [nu][sub]s[endsub]
is 1104 cm[super]-1[endsuper]. The R[sub]e[endsub](U-O) and the O=U=O
symmetric stretch vibrational frequency [nu][sub]s[endsub] for the
uranyl ion in Cs[sub]2[endsub]UO[sub]2[endsub]Cl[sub]4[endsub] has
been reported as 1.73 [angstrom] and 968 cm[super]-1[endsuper]
respectively (Matsika and Pitzer 2001). This decrease in the symmetric
stretch vibrational frequency and increase in bond length can be
attributed to the fact that the coordination of the electron
withdrawing equatorial ligand in case of
Cs[sub]2[endsub]UO[sub]2[endsub]Cl[sub]4[endsub] will influence the
electron density on the central uranium atom.
\subsection{Nature of the Hole}
In the UO[sub]2[endsub][super]2+[endsuper] ion, the ionization energy
was lowered by 11 eV when the symmetry restrictions were released in
the 1s hole state. The theoretical study of core hole states of
O[super]2+[endsuper] by Bagus and Schaefer (1975:224) led to the same
result. According to their result for O[sub]2[endsub], the localized
Hartree-Fock wavefunction resulted in an ionization energy more than
12 eV below that of the delocalized
