DecaDance
A talk by Cecchetti method ballet teacher Julie Cronshaw
Julie Cronshaw is a well renowned British ballet teacher of the Cecchetti method. It is an honour and pleasure to have her at Tåp Studio where she will present and explain the method and principles of Maestro Enrico Cecchetti (1850–1928), one of the greatest teachers, and talk about classical ballet´s future and art in general.
The title of the evening is DecaDance, because there has been a rapid breakdown of the aesthetic and moral codes in the theatre and major vocational dance schools worldwide over the past 30 years. These include the throwing out of the most basic principles that have been the basis of classical ballet training for more than a century. Classical ballet has declined into a spectator sport that borders on soft porn and today, in spite of sports medicine and innumerable therapies, still the average age for retirement of a professional ballet dancer is under 30 and for at least 80%, this is often due to chronic injury.
If artists are seen as holding up a mirror to society, do their creations reflect where society is heading? Chillingly, if we observe around us the results of the trends in modern art, music, architecture and theatre performance are they predicting its future as a dystopian nightmare?
When: May 27 at 18:30 to 20:30
Price: SEK 200 (130 for those on a tight budget), of which SEK 100 registration fee
