  • Inflectional Marking on Terminological Borrowings in Classical Ballet
    Beyond Philology No. 15/2, 2018 ISSN 1732-1220, eISSN 2451-1498 Beyond dance: Inflectional marking on terminological borrowings in classical ballet FRANČIŠKA LIPOVŠEK Received 3.11.2017, received in revised form 1.02.2018, accepted 28.02.2018. Abstract Most classical ballet terminology comes from French. English and Slovene adopt the designations for ballet movements without any word-formational or orthographic modifications. This paper presents a study into the behaviour of such unmodified borrowings in written texts from the point of view of inflectional marking. The research involved two questions: the choice between the donor-language and recipient-language marking and the placement of the inflection in syntactically complex terms. The main point of interest was the marking of number. The research shows that only Slovene employs native inflections on the borrowed terms while English adopts the ready-made French plurals. The behaviour of the terms in Slovene texts was further examined from the points of view of gender/case marking and declension class assignment. The usual placement of the inflection is on the postmodifier closest to the headword. Key words classical ballet, terminology, borrowing, inflectional marking, English, Slovene 42 Beyond Philology 15/2 Poza tańcem: Fleksyjne znakowanie zapożyczeń w terminologii klasycznego baletu Abstrakt Większość klasycznej terminologii baletowej pochodzi z języka fran- cuskiego. Angielski i słoweński przyswajają nazwy baletowe bez żad- nych modyfikacji słowotwórczych lub ortograficznych. W artykule przedstawiono badanie takich niezmodyfikowanych zapożyczeń w tekstach pisanych z punktu widzenia fleksyjnego znakowania. Ba- dania obejmowały dwie kwestie: wybór pomiędzy oznaczeniem języka źródłowego a języka odbiorcy oraz fleksja w terminach składniowo złożonych.

    THE AUSTRALIAN BALLET 1 2 SWAN LAKE MELBOURNE 23 SEPTEMBER– 1 OCTOBER SYDNEY 2–21 DECEMBER Cover: Dimity Azoury. Photography Justin Rider Above: Leanne Stojmenov. Photography Branco Gaica Luke Ingham and Miwako Kubota. Photography Branco Gaica 4 COPPÉLIA NOTE FROM THE ARTISTIC DIRECTOR Dame Peggy van Praagh’s fingerprints are on everything we do at The Australian Ballet. How lucky we are to have been founded by such a visionary woman, and to live with the bounty of her legacy every day. Nowhere is this legacy more evident than in her glorious production of Coppélia, which she created for the company in 1979 with two other magnificent artists: director George Ogilvie and designer Kristian Fredrikson. It was her parting gift to the company and it remains a jewel in the crown of our classical repertoire. Dame Peggy was a renowned Swanilda, and this was her second production of Coppélia. Her first was for the Borovansky Ballet in 1960; it was performed as part of The Australian Ballet’s first season in 1962, and was revived in subsequent years. When Dame Peggy returned to The Australian Ballet from retirement in 1978 she began to prepare this new production, which was to be her last. It is a timeless classic, and I am sure it will be performed well into the company’s future. Dame Peggy and Kristian are no longer with us, but in 2016 we had the great pleasure of welcoming George Ogilvie back to the company to oversee the staging of this production. George and Dame Peggy delved into the original Hoffmann story, layering this production with such depth of character and theatricality.

  • Dance History Session 2 Ballet
    BALLET HISTORY Ballet history is commonly divided by historians in chronological periods. Each one of them is recognized because some of the dance features or values prevail over others. Sometimes we get information about aesthetic or choreographic values but it is common to find all kind of related facts mixed within the data. That’s why the ballet general history we find in most books is a mixture of biographies, institutional records, different functions that dancing has accomplished for society: political, social, ritual, ornamental, and other kind of odds and ends… The following is a synthesized, rough list of those chronological periods from the XV century (AD) till the present time: XV - XVI centuries : court dances or pre-classical dance. XVI - XVII centuries : court ballet and baroque dance. XVIII century : ballet of action. End of XVIII century - XIX century : romantic ballet. Second half of XIX century : classical, academic and/or imperial ballet. XX century - present time : modern, neoclassical and/or contemporary ballet. XV-XVI centuries : court dances or pre-classical dance. This story occurs in the city of Florence (Italy), at the time called the Renaissance (or beginning of the ‘western modern era’). Society reacts to important political and cosmological changes. From a ‘dark era’ called the ‘Middle Age’, humans are reborn to a bright period, illuminated by science and knowledge. Scientific experiments prove that the earth turns around the sun, opposing to what was commonly thought for centuries. People start believing that they are responsible for their lives and that they can improve their existence by their own means (instead of expecting God to do it).

After immigrating from Russia to New York City, Balanchine ​ ​ founded The School of American Ballet, where he developed his specific style of ballet and ​ ​ later began the professional company, The New York City Ballet. Also considered neoclassical ballet, this style is thought to mirror the vibrant and sporty American style in contrast to the more noble and tranquil Russian and European ballet style counterparts. Balanchine is celebrated worldwide as the “father of American ballet”and choreographed 465 ballets in his lifetime. DISTINCT STYLE FEATURES: ​ - While Balanchine’s style took initial inspiration from the traditional Russian method, he rejected classical stiffness for jazzy, athletic movements. - The characteristics of this style include: extreme speed, an athletic quality, a deep plié, ​ ​ an emphasis on line, en dehors pirouettes taken from a lunge in fourth position with a ​ ​ straight back left.

Conclusion 22 4. Tables and pictures 23 5.Bibliography 23 1.Introduction Ballet is a form of dancing performed for theatre audiences. Like other dance forms, ballet may tell a story, express a mood, or simply reflect the music. But a ballet dancer's technique (way of performing) and special skills differ greatly from those of other dancers. Ballet dancers perform many movements that are unnatural for the body. But when these movements are well executed, they look natural. Pic.1 Ballet dancers seem to ignore the law of gravity as they float through the air in long, slow leaps. They keep perfect balance while they spin like tops without becoming dizzy. During certain steps, their feet move so rapidly that the eye can hardly follow the movements. The women often dance on the tips of their toes, and the men lift them high overhead as if they were as light as feathers. The dancers take joy in controlling their bodies, and ballet audiences share their feelings. The spectators can feel as though they are gliding and spinning with the dancers.

  • Brief History of Ballet
    Brief History of Ballet The earliest precursors to ballets were lavish entertainments given in the courts of Renaissance Italy. These elaborate spectacles, which united painting, poetry, music, and dancing, took place in large halls that were used also for banquets and balls. A dance performance given in 1489 actually was performed between the courses of a banquet, and the action was closely related to the menu: For instance, the story ofJason and the Golden Fleece preceded the roast lamb. The dancers based their performance on the social dances of the day. The Italian court ballets were further developed .in France. I.e Ballet Comiq11e de Ia Reine (The Queen's Ballet Comedy), the first ballet for which a complete score survived, was performed in Paris in 1581. It was staged by Balthazar de Beaujoyeux, a violinist and dancing master at the court of Queen Catherine de Medici It was danced by aristocratic amateurs in a hall with the royal family on a dais at one end and spectators in galleries on three sides. Since tnuch of the audience saw the ballet from above, the choreography emphasized the elabo.tilte floor patterns created by lines and groups of dancers. Poetry and songs accompanied the dances. Most French court ballets consisted of dance scenes linked by a minimum of plot Because they were designed principally for the entertainment of the aristocracy, rich costumes, scenery, and elaborate stage effects were emphasized The proscenium stage was first adopted in France in the mid-1600s, and professional dancers made their first appearance, although they were not permitted to dance in the grand ballet that concluded the performance; this was still reserved for the king and courtiers.
