  • Swan Lake 3Rd Act, Pas De Deux, the Black Swan, Variation
    #RosetaMauri2017 Spotlight on variations! Swan Lake 3rd act, pas de deux, the Black Swan, variation MALE VARIATION By Carlos Labiós I have chosen this variation, because in my opinion is the variation par excellence for the male dancer. It has everything that is requested at the technical and acting level. The dancer has to have a very refined technique for this variation in terms of the jump and the spin, as well as an exquisite elegance at the moment of performing the steps. The dancer must possess a perfect control of the jump plus a perfect double tour en l'air, especially for the final part of the variation, since there is a series of tours en l'air facing the audience, in which the technique using the 5th position while jumping is very important. In terms of stamina, is not very complicated since the variation allows the dancer to breath enough. Let's not forget that we are playing the Prince! He is still thinking about the lake where he met Odette. He has already ruled out marrying any other princess. But, now, he is enthusiastic about Odile, although he hasn’t lost his nobility, which is reflected upon the variation. Musically it is a perfect variation for the male dancer technique, with pauses, with weight, with a perfect push to use the jump and with a melody that I personally adore. I love both the beginning and the middle part with the jumps to the second and arabesque, and especially the grand finale with the tour en l'air and the final pirouettes.

Burlaka PAQUITA GRAND PAS AND LE CORSAIRE GRAND PAS: COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS The article explores the origin of creation and the production history of such masterpieces as Grand pas from Paquita and Grand pas Le Jardin Animé from Le Corsaire by Marius Petipa. 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. In Petipa’s mature works the plot of the ballet is revealed not only in pantomime but through dance as well. Keywords: Marius Petipa, Paquita, Le Corsaire, history of Russian Ballet, ballet dramaturgy. Anna P. Grutsynova MOSCOW DON QUIXOTE: ON THE WAY TO ST. PETERSBURG The article is devoted to one of M. Petipa’s the most famous ballets called Don Quixote which was shown in Moscow and St. Petersburg versions in 1869 and 1871 respectively. The primary Moscow choreography is in a focus. Musical dramaturgy of the ballet is analyzed as well as connections between musical dramaturgy and drama plot are traced. Besides, the article contains a brief comparative analysis of music from Moscow and St. Petersburg choreographies of Don Quixote.

    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.

  • Reviving Ballet in the Nineteenth Century: Music, Narrative, and Dance in Delibes's Coppélia by Arthur E. Lafex Submitted To
    Reviving Ballet in the Nineteenth Century: Music, Narrative, and Dance in Delibes’s Coppélia By Copyright 2013 Arthur E. Lafex Submitted to the graduate degree program in Music and the Graduate Faculty of the University of Kansas in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Music. ________________________________ Chairperson Alicia Levin ________________________________ Paul R. Laird ________________________________ David Alan Street Date Defended: April 15, 2013 The Thesis Committee for Author (Arthur E. Lafex) certifies that this is the approved version of the following thesis: Reviving Ballet in the Nineteenth Century: Music, Narrative, and Dance in Delibes’s Coppélia ________________________________ Chairperson Alicia Levin Date approved: April 15, 2013 ii Abstract Léo Delibes (1836-1891) wrote ballet scores that have inspired composers and have entertained generations of ballet lovers. His scores have been cited for their tunefulness, appropriateness for their narrative, and for their danceability. However, Delibes remains an obscure figure in music history, outside the musical canon of the nineteenth century. Likewise, his ballet music, whose harmonic resources are conventional and whose forms are variants of basic structures, has not received much scholarly and theoretical attention. This thesis addresses Delibes’s music by examining his ballet score for Coppélia, its support of narrative and also its support of dance. Chapter 1 begins with a historical view of ballet and ballet music up to the time of Delibes. Following a biographical sketch of the composer, a review of aspects of the score for Giselle by his mentor, Adolphe Adam (1803-1856) establishes a background upon which Delibes’s ballets can be considered.

    The Nutcracker An Introduction A Royal Opera House Education Resource 1 Contents Introduction 3 The Characters 4 Setting the Scene 5 The Story 6 Petipa and Ivanov 14 The Nutcracker past and present 15 What was expected of a ballet composer? 18 Dance: look for ... 20 Listen to ... Introducing the music 26 The Overture 27 Design: look for ... 35 Things to do and discuss 38 Formations and patterns 44 2 Introduction This pack is prepared for pupils from Key Stage 2 upwards, and most of the material is aimed at Key Stages 2 and 3. However, he approach adopted is equally appropriate to older students and the list of ‘Things to do and discuss’ contains tasks to challenge all, including 'A' level students. The teacher is invited to select and/or adapt according to the needs of the situation. Pupils attending a live performance of the ballet should be familiar with the story and, ideally, should be introduced to a number of 'anchor points' - features to notice and moments to listen for. For convenience, tasks and activities are often grouped around a specific art form, but it is important to stress that ballet involves several art forms. Listening without the visual dimension, or focusing on design elements independently of the music and the dance, are valuable approaches in raising pupils' awareness but they should be regarded as means to an end. In ballet the whole is much more than the sum of the parts. To make most effective use of this pack it may well be necessary to copy and disseminate the material among specialist or other teacher colleagues.

  • Stephanie Schroedter Listening in Motion and Listening to Motion. the Concept of Kinaesthetic Listening Exemplified by Dance Compositions of the Meyerbeer Era
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Berner Fachhochschule: ARBOR Stephanie Schroedter Listening in Motion and Listening to Motion. The Concept of Kinaesthetic Listening Exemplified by Dance Compositions of the Meyerbeer Era Musical life in Paris underwent profound and diverse changes between the July Monar- chy and the Second Empire. One reason for this was the availability of printed scores for a broader public as an essential medium for the distribution of music before the advent of mechanical recordings. Additionally, the booming leisure industry encouraged music commercialization, with concert-bals and café-concerts, the precursors of the variétés, blurring the boundaries between dance and theatre performances. Therefore there was not just one homogeneous urban music culture, but rather a number of different music, and listening cultures, each within a specific urban setting. From this extensive field I will take a closer look at the music of popular dance or, more generally, movement cultures. This music spanned the breadth of cultural spaces, ranging from magnificent ballrooms – providing the recognition important to the upper-classes – to relatively modest dance cafés for those who enjoyed physical exercise above social distinction. Concert halls and musical salons provided a venue for private audiences who preferred themoresedateactivityoflisteningtostylized dance music rather than dancing.

  • RUSSIAN NATIONAL BALLET THEATRE Artistic Director: Elena Radchenko
    RUSSIAN NATIONAL BALLET THEATRE Artistic Director: Elena Radchenko The Russian National Ballet Theatre was founded in Moscow during the transitional period of Perestroika in the late 1980s, when many of the great dancers and choreographers of the Soviet Union's ballet institutions were exercising their new-found creative freedom by starting new, vibrant companies dedicated not only to the timeless tradition of classical Russian Ballet but to invigorate this tradition as the Russians began to accept new developments in the dance from around the world. The company, then titled the Soviet National Ballet, was founded by and incorporated graduates from the great Russian choreographic schools of Moscow, St. Petersburg and Perm. The principal dancers of the company came from the upper ranks of the great ballet companies and academies of Russia, and the companies of Riga, Kiev and even Warsaw. Today, the Russian National Ballet Theatre is its own institution, with over 50 dancers of singular instruction and vast experience, many of whom have been with the company since its inception. In addition to their upcoming tour, beginning in January 2011 the company will embark upon a 4-month coast-to-coast tour of the United States. In 1994, the legendary Bolshoi principal dancer Elena Radchenko was selected by Presidential decree to assume the first permanent artistic directorship of the company. Ms. Radchenko is the founder of the Russian National Ballet Theatre, and she has focused the Company on upholding the grand national tradition of the major Russian ballet works and developing new talents throughout Russia, with a repertory of virtually all of the great full works of Petipa: Don Quixote, La Bayadere, The Sleeping Beauty, Swan Lake, Raymonda, Paquita, Coppelia and La Sylphide, as well as productions of, among others, The Nutcracker, Sylvia, and La Fille Mal Gardee.
