Summary

Illustrated by visual works and artifacts from the exhibition "One hundred years of Russian ballet: 1830-1930" at the Nakhamkin Gallery, New York. Dance historians Lynn Garafola and Tim Scholl provide an overview of Russian ballet beginning with the choreography of Marius Petipa. They discuss the dancers associated with him, particularly Mathilde Kshessinska, and some of the technical and choreographic achievements of his period, notably the evolution of the supported adagio. Moving on to the contributions of Serge Diaghilev, they discuss the rise of the unified production concept for ballets, the collaborative efforts of composers and designers (the latter including Léon Bakst), and Mikhail Fokin's choreographic innovations. They conclude with a discussion of the work of Fyodor Lopukhov in post-Revolutionary Russia, notably his experiments with plotless ballets. Excerpts from the Bolshoi Ballet's 1989 videorecording of The sleeping beauty are screened.
