More Details
- Summary:
- This episode of Footnotes: The Classics of Ballet is about Romeo and Juliet. Using as an example Kenneth MacMillan's ballet adaptation of William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, dancer Frank Augustyn and others discuss the story's timelessness and universality, and the dramatic challenges it offers the dancers. They praise the evocative power of Sergey Prokofiev's score, used by MacMillan and other choreographers, and note the importance of partnering in creating a sense of the lovers' physical passion for one another. The concept of line in dancing is also discussed.
