  • The Cecchetti Project
    Fact Sheet The Cecchetti Project The Cecchetti Method of Classical Ballet training is named after its originator, Maestro Enrico Cecchetti. Born in Italy, Cecchetti was a dancer, mime, choreographer and ballet master, and is one of the most important teachers in the history of ballet. His influence ranged from Petipa’s Imperial Russian Ballet, the origin of so much of the canon of ‘classical’ ballets still danced today, to Diaghilev’s ground breaking Ballets Russes company, which contributed so much to the birth of modern classical ballet. Cecchetti’s legacy is preserved by the Cecchetti Society, founded in London in 1922, and through Cyril Beau- mont’s definitive 1922 publication The Manual of Theory and Practice of Classical Theatrical Dancing (Cecchetti Method), written with the help of Stanislas Idzikowski. However, as is common in the history of dance, the handing down of the Cecchetti method from one generation to the next through oral tradition has resulted in multiple interpretations and differing versions of the material. Impressed by the specificity of the Cecchetti method when studying with Margaret Craske, a senior exponent of the method, Ann Hutchinson Guest began recording the enchaînements and adages in Labanotation in the 1950s. She subsequently studied with Antony Tudor, Peggy van Praagh, Mary Skeaping and Fridericka Derra de Moroda and recorded the sequences she learned, also making note of the differences and identifying each vari- ation with the initials of the teacher. After moving to London, she continued her Cecchetti studies with Laura Wilson, Molly Lake, Diana Barker, Nora Roche, Nesta Brooking, Margaret Marsh and other members of the Cecchetti Society, encountering yet further differences in stylistic detail.
