The development of choreographic forms from J.-G. Noverre to M. Petipa
Abstract
This article examines the evolutionary development of choreographic form in the theoretical works of J.-G. Noverre, C. Blasis, as well as in the works of Ch.-L. Didelot. The features of small and large forms in the works of J. Perrot and A. Saint-Leon, the predecessors of M. Petipa, who completed their final formation, are analyzed. Examples are given of modification and improvement of the choreographic forms pas de cinq and pas d’action in the ballet The Pharaoh’s Daughter in the editions of M. Petipa (1862) and P. Lacotte (2000). And also, a natural change in the first upper lift from the pas de trois of the ballet Paquita in the version of M. Petipa. A methodological analysis of the variation of the fairy Violante from The Sleeping Beauty ballet in various choreographic versions is presented
