Ballet 101: Decoding the Art Form for New Audience
2024 - SINGAPORE
Curated for the Esplanade Theatres on the Bay, Singapore, as part of the da:ns focus – Ballet by the Bay. The show was designed to break down the foundations of ballet, from the daily practice of a ballet dancer, to what is Classical dance, and how it evolved to Neo-Classical.
Synopsis: "What makes ballet as magical as it is? If someone had never been exposed to ballet before, what would they need to know to understand the art form better? Across 30 minutes, let Etienne Ferrère and Rosa Park break down the foundations of the art form and bring forward the magic of ballet lines by sharing a glimpse of a professional dancer’s daily rehearsals. These rehearsals are crucial for dancers to maintain and improve proper technique. The repertoire of steps and actions that the dancers practice every day are the building blocks of choreographies seen in ballet performances. This programme will also include some excerpt performances from classical and neo-classical ballet works."
