| Fokine's 5 major principles |
|
Definition
1. It's necesssary to create for each dance new forms of movement, suitable to the subject mater, period or country of the ballet, and appropriate music rather than ready-made movements from classic tradition
2. The dramatic action of the ballet should be continuously developed by means of movement, rather than using sections of pantomime to relate the story alternating with dance numbers that had no dramatic or narrative significance
3. Traditional gesture or pantomime should be abondoned, instead the whole body should be used to communicate
4. The entire group of dancers should be used to develop the theme of the ballet
5. Ballet should reflect an active and equal cooperation of all the arts involved in it; music, scenery, dancing, costuming, all are crucial to a unified creative effort |
