The Royal Ballet: A Case Study

Decent Essays
She is such an amazing talent. Her artistry is an Enchantment. Hopefully some company will fully recognise and feature this, as I don't think that it's happened yet. With this ability she could perform for years. The Royal Ballet, which I don't get a chance to see very often, seems to have a theatrical strength, perhaps coming from that part of the world's great literary and theatrical traditions. I see it strongly in Xander Parish (now a Mariinsky Principal) and in such current dancers as Marianela Nunez. I think that this could be a very good fit for Veronika Part.

Hopefully she can at least be given a guest status. Marcelo Gomes had this at one time. If not given more, maybe the Mariinsky could also offer her something similar and she

    For this assignment, I have chosen two Australian ballet companies: the Victorian State Ballet (VSB) and the Queensland ballet (QB). I will discuss their specialization, history, location, purpose and next productions. After that, I am going to evaluate their websites. The main reason why I have chosen these two companies is that they are two vibrant ballet groups from the New South Wales’s adjacent states (Victoria and Queensland) and I wanted to learn more information concerning them. Both the Victorian State Ballet (VSB) company and the Queensland Ballet (QB) are the most significant ballet companies today in their respective states.…

    The short interview with Lauren Anderson is so inspiring that gives me an insight into passion and success as well as motivates me to persist in following my dream. Anderson’s story of her career as a principal ballerina seems quite simple and typical as she started early at seven, soon became a principal dancer of Houston Ballet, and then now is giving back to the society by teaching ballet to children of “underserved” community. However, I believe behind that story are all strenuous efforts and untiring perseverance along with her outstanding talent that kept her lifelong dream alive and made it come true. I can feel in her a great passion for the ballet career in every word she said and every story she told. Because ballet is hard and highly…

    She has had a profound impact on not only the ballet community, but the world as a whole. Struggling with being an underprivileged, non-white dancer herself, she decided to give back and help those in similar situations. She established ABT’s Project Plié, which works to promote ethnic minorities and give them exposure to ballet (Collins). Similarly to how she was introduced to ballet, the project works in conjunction with the Boy’s and Girl’s Club, as well as ballet companies such as Orlando Ballet, Ballet Austin, and Cincinnati Ballet (Collins).…

    She seems to invest every bit of herself into her dance and with a unique style of execution. She controls the floor and flexed her muscles in such a perfect way that one begins to wonder if she has bones in her body. Something else that stands out is that she doesn’t struggle with any movement, regardless of how difficult it seem; in fact, she uses the same energy, vigor, and focus in all of her performances- she does have a penetrating gaze.…

    Ballet Vs Musical Theatre

    There are many styles of dance, and they all require different skill sets. The two styles of dance that I am discussing today are both styles that tell a story on stage over multiple hours, introducing many different characters and having a beginning, middle and end. However, going to see, and training to perform in ballet and musical theater are two very different experiences. Ballet is one of the oldest dance styles and, while it tells a story, there is no speaking, singing or any other words to be said. You portray a story through very complex movements that take a lifetime of practice to get perfectly.…
