CALL for PAPERS MLADA-MSHA International Network CLARE-ARTES Research Center (Bordeaux) Organize an International Symposium Оn
CALL FOR PAPERS MLADA-MSHA International Network CLARE-ARTES Research Center (Bordeaux) Organize an international symposium оn 21-22-23 October, 2015 At Bordeaux Grand Theatre FROM BORDEAUX TO SAINT PETERSBURG, MARIUS PETIPA (1818-1910) AND THE « RUSSIAN » BALLET The great academic ballet, known as « Russian ballet », is the product of a historical process initiated in 18th century in Russia and completed in the second part of 19th century by Victor-Marius-Alphonse Petipa (1818-1910), principal ballet master of the Saint Petersburg Imperial Theatres from 1869 to his death. Born in Marseilles in a family of dancers and actors, Marius Petipa, after short- term contracts in several theatres, including Bordeaux Grand Theatre, pursued a more than 50 years long carreer in Russia, when he became « Marius Ivanovitch ». He layed down the rules of the great academic ballet and left for posterity over 60 creations, among which the most famous are still presented on stages all around the world. Petipa’s name has become a synonym of classical ballet. His work has been denigrated, parodied, or reinterpreted ; however, its meaning remains central in the reflection of contemporary choreographers, as we can see from young South African choreographer Dada Masilo’s recent new version of Swan Lake. Moreover, Petipa’s work still fosters controversies as evidenced by the reconstructions of his ballets by S.G. Vikharev at the Mariinsky theatre or Teatro alla Scala, and by Iu. P. Burlaka at the Bolchoï. Given the world-famous name of Petitpa one might expect his œuvre, as a common set of fundamental values for international choreographic culture, to be widely known. -

In this program, we also celebrate our friend Jimmy Gamonet, who passed earlier this year from COVID-19. Jimmy is most notable for his longtime tenure as Miami City Ballet’s founding resident choreographer and ballet master. He staged three of his works here, the most well-known being Nous Sommes, which we warmly present as an affectionate tribute to his memory.

2. Ipostases of the Choreographic Dialogue 1
DOI: 10.2478/RAE-2019-0018 Review of Artistic Education no. 17 2019 171-182 2. IPOSTASES OF THE CHOREOGRAPHIC DIALOGUE 153 Cristina Todi Abstract: The analysis of the aesthetic face of dance brings to our forefront the fascination for the movement on many artists who experienced the movement and, above all, explored the possibilities of kinetic art or movement movement. In its most elevated form, dance contains not only this element but also the infinite richness of human personality. It is the perfect synthesis of the abstract and the human, of mind and intellect with emotion, discipline with spontaneity, spirituality with erotic attraction to which dance aspires; and in dance as a form of communication, it is the most vivid presentation of this fusion act that is the ideal show. Key words: Arts, ballet, dance, dialogue, aesthetic 1. Introduction The Evolution of the Syncretic Dialogue between Choreography, Theatre, Music, Literature and Visual Arts We shall initiate an approach of the discourse regarding the historical evolution of choregraphic dialogue, even from the age when this artistic genre started to assume clear contours, rather from the 17th century. Without excluding the importance of the previous periods in history, the 17th and the 18th centuries are considered to be the starting points of dance for amusement. This was often dedicated to ceremonies or entertainment. In approaching these moments, the increased attention towards the aesthetic expression and the manner in which beauty was intensified, sometimes even at the expense of the real, is notable. Moreover, the technicality under which theatrical ballet was formulated in its demonstrative forms, full of technical charge, although arid in ideas or expression that reach the sensitive cords of the viewer. -

The analysis proves the fact that with the invention of these choreographic structures the Romantic Pantomime Ballet turn into the Grand Ballet of the second half of the 19th century.

Marie Taglioni, Ballerina Extraordinaire: in the Company of Women
NINETEENTH-CENTURY GENDER STUDIES # ISSUE 6.3 (WINTER 2010) Marie Taglioni, Ballerina Extraordinaire: In the Company of Women By Molly Engelhardt, Texas A&M University—Corpus Christi <1>The nineteenth-century quest for novelty during the 1830s and 40s was nowhere better satisfied than from the stages of the large theatres in London and Paris, which on a tri-weekly basis showcased ballet celebrities and celebrity ballets as top fare entertainment.(1) While few devotees had the means to actually attend ballet performances, the interested majority could read the plots and reviews of the ballets published in print media—emanating from and traversing both sides of the channel—and know the dancers, their personalities and lifestyles, as well as the dangers they routinely faced as stage performers. During a benefit performance in Paris for Marie Taglioni, for example, two sylphs got entangled in their flying harnesses and audiences watched in horror as a stagehand lowered himself from a rope attached to the ceiling to free them. Théophile Gautier writes in his review of the performance that when Paris Opera director Dr. Veron did nothing to calm the crowds, Taglioni herself came to the footlights and spoke directly to the audience, saying “Gentlemen, no one is hurt.”(2) On another occasion a cloud curtain came crashing down unexpectedly and almost crushed Taglioni as she lay on a tombstone in a cloisture scene of Robert le Diable.(3) Reporters wrote that what saved her were her “highly- trained muscles,” which, in Indiana Jones fashion, she used to bound off the tomb just in time. -
Don Quixote RUDOLF NUREYEV
s i r a P e d l a n o i t a n a r é p O : o t o h P © Don Quixote RUDOLF NUREYEV > BALLET 2012 HDTV Ballet in one prologue and three acts after various FILMED AT Opéra national de Paris episodes from the novel by Miguel de Cervantès IN December 2012 Music by Ludwig Minkus TV DIRECTOR François Roussillon Choreography and staging by Rudolf Nureyev RUNNING TIME 1 x 120’ after Marius Petipa Don Quixote artistic information DESCRIPTION “The Knight of the Sad Face” and his faithful squire, Sancho Panza, are mixed up in the wild love affairs of the stunning Kitri and the seductive Basilio in a richly colourful, humorous and virtuoso ballet. Marius Petipa’s Don Quixote premiered in Moscow in 1869 with music by Ludwig Minkus and met with resounding success from the start. The novelty lay within its break from the supernatural universe of romantic ballet. Written as if it were a play for the theatre, the work had realistic heroes and a solidly structured plot and scenes. The libretto and the choreography were handed down without interruption in Russia, but Petipa’s version remained unknown in the west for a long time. In 1981, Rudolf Nureyev introduced his own version of the work into the Paris Opera’s repertoire. While retaining the great classical pages and the strong, fiery dances, the choreographer gave greater emphasis to the comic dimension contriving a particularly lively and light-hearted production. In 2002, Alexander Beliaev and Elena Rivkina were invited to create new sets and costumes specially for the Opera Bastille. -

Teacher’s Handbook 1 Edited by: Carol Meeder – Director of Arts Education February 2006 Cover Photo: Jennifer Langenstein – Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Principal Dancer Aaron Ingley – Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre Corps de Ballet Dancer Ric Evans – Photographer 2 Introduction Dear Educator, We have often thanked you, the academic community and educators of our children, for being partners with us in Arts Education. We have confirmed how the arts bring beauty, excitement, and insight into the experience of everyday living. Those of us who pursue the arts as the work of our lives would find the world a dark place without them. We have also seen, in a mirror image from the stage, how the arts bring light, joy, and sparkle into the eyes and the lives of children and adults in all walks of life. Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre strives not only to entertain but to demonstrate the significance and importance of presenting our art in the context of past history, present living, and vision for the future. In this quest we present traditional ballets based on classic stories revered for centuries, such as Coppelia and Cinderella; and contemporary ballets by artists who are living, working, and creating everyday, such as our jazz program Indigo In Motion and the premiers we have done to the music of Sting, Bruce Springsteen, and Paul Simon. In this way we propel our art into the future, creating new classics that subsequent generations will call traditional. It is necessary to see and experience both, past and present. It enhances our life and stirs new ideas. We have to experience where we came from in order to develop a clear vision of where we want to go.
