During this first week I have gained a lot more knowledge
of ballet and have started to understand what makes ballet so unique from other
styles of dance. Having a lecture on Swan Lake before seeing the performance of
it by the Moscow ballet helped me understand what makes a good ballet and sadly
the Moscow ballet didn’t live up my expectations. On Thursday we had a lecture
into the history of ballet and I was surprised to find out how far ballet dates
back and also how young English ballet and ballet schools are. The screening of
Mathew Bourne’s swan lake put into context how ballet is still evolving and how
classical ballet stories can be re- interpreted.
