Ballet Appreciation Course: Get More out of Ballet

DATE/TIME: Monday, 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.

15 October – 19 November, 2018

University of Toronto St George Campus

COURSE DESCRIPTION: Enrich your experience of ballet in general and some of the programs in the 2018-19 season of the National Ballet of Canada's season and  the Royal Ballet's and Bolshoi Ballet's live broadcasts in particular with insights into the choreography, the design, and the music. Where appropriate and available, video clips will be used, along with demonstrations of certain steps and postures to help you identify distinctive choreographic styles. Depending on the repertoire, we may look at the ballet's performance history, learn about the choreographer's life and works and the historical context in which the ballet was created, examine the story on which the ballet is based, study ballet mime, and compare different versions of the same ballet.

 

COURSE OBJECTIVES: By the end of this course, you will have greater knowledge of and familiarity with:

1. The choreography, music, and design of many of the ballets which will be performed by the National Ballet of Canada or broadcast live by the Royal Ballet and Bolshoi Ballet in 2018-19.
2. The life and works of some major ballet choreographers.
3. The physical challenges inherent in frequently seen ballet steps.
4. The behind-the-scenes work required for the production of a ballet.
   
   

   Week	TOPIC/LESSONS
   1	Filippo Taglioni's La Sylphide introduced the world to ballet as we know it. August Bournonville took the story and stamped his distinctive Danish style on it
   2	Bring on the Dancing Girls: The Grand Imperial Russian Style (La Bayadere and Don Quixote) When you think "ballet", you see flocks of women in short white tutus and a regal-looking ballerina performing feats of virtuosity, and you owe that vision to Marius Petipa and his late-19th-century ballets.
   3	The Dark Night of the Soul (Mayerling, Romeo and Juliet) : The 20th-century British choreographer Kenneth MacMillan pushes ballet in new directions, exploring its ability, like all great art forms, to portray the darker side of the human condition, in ballets renowned for their heart-wrenching duets.
   4	The Vertiginous Thrill of Ballet: William Forsythe is a revolutionary figure in contemporary ballet, literally pushing classical ballet off balance.
   5	George Balanchine and Frederick Ashton (Apollo, The Dream) Two towering figures in 20th century ballet define American and English style.
   6	John Neumeier, the creative genius of the Hamburg Ballet, keeps the art of the story ballet alive and pays homage to the history of ballet. His Lady of the Camellias is one of the most heart-wrenching works in the repertoire.
