FYSP 195 - Dances for America, Choreography by George Balanchine 4 HU, CD, WRi
First Semester. George Balanchine, the Russian émigré choreographer, created more than 400 ballets, mostly for the New York City Ballet, the company he founded. Yet Balanchine also made dances for Broadway musicals, Hollywood films, and on at least one occasion, circus elephants. We will examine the variety of the dances Balanchine produced and examine the peculiar problems this ephemeral art form poses for researchers, including issues of establishing, preserving, and reconstructing the dance text.
