1) Watch the entire 3 minute excerpt of One Flat Thing Reproduced (the link) and at least 2 of the dances in Love Songs (my favorite sections are the first solo, and the duet @ 12:40)
2) Write a one-page paper stating your feelings/views on the dance pieces. Include your reaction to the fact that the movement is derived from Ballet vocabulary, yet looks very, very different than traditional Classical Ballet. Did you like the work? Why or Why Not? 3) The ONLY way that Ballet has endured for more than 400 years is due to its ability to meld, change, and grow; making Ballet much less an “archaic Dance genre” and more of a contemporary art form ready and willing to “speak” to a contemporary audience. With all of that said, finish your paper with some ideas of where YOU would like to see Ballet go next….in your opinion, what would make Ballet even more contemporary and accessible to the audiences of today?
