Ballet spread from   Italy   to   France   with the help of   Catherine de' Medici, where ballet developed even further under her aristocratic influence. An early example of Catherine's development of ballet is through 'Le Paradis d' Amour', a piece of work presented at the wedding of her daughter   Marguerite de Valois   to   Henry of Navarre. Aristocratic money was responsible for the initial stages of development in 'court ballet', as it was royal money that dictated the ideas, literature and music used in ballets that were created to primarily entertain the aristocrats of the time. The first formal 'court ballet' ever recognized was staged in 1573, 'Ballet des Polonais'. In true form of royal entertainment, 'Ballet des Polonais' was commissioned by Catherine de' Medici to honor the   Polish   ambassadors who were visiting   Paris   upon the accession of   Henry of Anjou   to the throne of Poland. In 1581, Catherine de' Medici commissioned another court ballet,   Ballet Comique de la Reine , however it was her compatriot,   Balthasar de Beaujoyeulx, who organized the ballet. Catherine de' Medici and Balthasar de Beaujoyeulx were responsible for presenting the first court ballet ever to apply the principles of Baif's Academie, by integrating poetry, dance, music and set design to convey a unified dramatic storyline. Moreover, the early organization and development of 'court ballet' was funded by, influenced by and produced by the aristocrats of the time, fulfilling both their personal entertainment and political propaganda needs. In the late 17th century   Louis XIV   founded the Académie Royale de Musique (the   Paris Opera) within which emerged the first professional theatrical   ballet company, the   Paris Opera Ballet. The predominance of French in the   vocabulary of ballet   reflects this history. Theatrical ballet soon became an independent form of art, although still frequently maintaining a close association with opera, and spread from the heart of Europe to other nations. The   Royal Danish Ballet   and the [Mariinsky Ballet|Imperial Ballet] of the   Russian Empire   were founded in the 1740s and began to flourish, especially after about 1850. In 1907 the Russian ballet in turn moved back to France, where the   Ballets Russes   of   Sergei Diaghilev   and its successors were particularly influential. Soon ballet spread around the world with the formation of new companies, including London's   The Royal Ballet   (1931), the   San Francisco Ballet   (1933),   American Ballet Theatre   (1937), the   Royal Winnipeg Ballet   (1939),   The Australian Ballet   (1940 as the predecessor Borovansky Ballet), the   New York City Ballet   (1948), the   National Ballet of Canada   (1951), and the   National Ballet Academy and Trust of India   (2002). In the 20th century styles of ballet continued to develop and strongly influence broader   concert dance, for example, in the United States choreographer   George Balanchine   developed what is now known as   neoclassical ballet, subsequent developments have included   contemporary ballet   and   post-structural   ballet, for example seen in the work of   William Forsythe   in Germany. The   etymology   of the word "ballet" reflects its history. The word   ballet   comes from French and was borrowed into English around the 17th century. The French word in turn has its origins in Italian   balletto , a   diminutive   of   ballo   (dance).   Ballet   ultimately traces back to   Italian   ballare , meaning   "to dance" . Following the move of the Ballets Russes to France, ballet began to have a broader influence, particularly in the United States of America. From Paris, after disagreements with Diaghilev, Fokine went to Sweden and then the US and settled in New York. Diaghilev believed that traditional ballet offered little more than prettiness and athletic display. For Fokine that was not enough. In addition to technical virtuosity he demanded drama, expression and historical authenticity. The choreographer must research the period and cultural context of the setting and reject the traditional tutu in favour of accurate period costuming. Fokine choreographed   Sheherazade   and   Cleopatra . He also reworked   Petrouchka   and   The Firebird . One of his most famous works was   The Dying Swan , performed by   Anna Pavlova. Beyond her talents as a ballerina, Pavlova had the theatrical gifts to fulfill Fokine's vision of ballet as drama. Legend has it that Pavlova identified so much with the swan role that she requested her swan costume from her deathbed. George Balanchine   developed state-of-the-art technique in America by opening a school in New York. He adapted ballet to the new media, movies and television.   A prolific worker, Balanchine rechoreographed classics such as   Swan Lake   and   Sleeping Beauty   as well as creating new ballets. He produced original interpretations of the dramas of   William Shakespeare   such as   Romeo and Juliet   and   A Midsummer Night's Dream , and also of Franz Léhar's   The Merry Widow . In 1967, Balanchine's   Jewels   broke with the narrative tradition and dramatized a theme rather than a plot. This focus fits with the state-sponsored funding sources in the United States which sought to encourage "liberty and freethinking" in contrast to narrative-driven dance, which was seen as to be connected too closely with socialism, especially   Soviet communism.   Today, partly thanks to Balanchine, ballet is one of the most well-preserved dances in the world. Barbara Karinska was a Russian emigree and a skilled seamstress who collaborated with Balanchine to elevate the art of costume design from a secondary role to an integral part of a ballet performance. She introduced the   bias cut   and a simplified classic tutu that allowed the dancer more freedom of movement. With meticulous attention to detail, she decorated her tutus with beadwork, embroidery, crochet and appliqué. Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution Condition: New. Category: Art › Art Posters.
