BOURNONVILLE COMPETITION - CONCOURS

[Katharine Kanter]

To win, you are expected to answer - in detail - ONE QUESTION that Vestris now puts to you:


WHAT ARE THE PRINCIPLES BEHIND EACH DAY OF BOURNONVILLE's SIX DAYS OF THE WEEK?

This work has never yet been done.

The person who comes up with the most accurate solution, WINS

one of the very last (only 5 left) copies of Volume 1 of the complete master-classes at the Centre de danse du Marais (Vyroubova/Preobrajenskaya/Kchessinskaya/Volkova/Ricaux/Zambelli/Gsovski ...)

This means reading what Miss Cronshaw has to say about Cecchetti, and STUDYING the Bournonville Schools available on line here

As those who have followed Miss Cronshaw's work on The Principles Behind Cecchetti's Six Days of the Week,

http://www.thececchetticonnection.com/cecchetti-days-of-the-week/

Cecchetti is plainly seen to have organised the week to cover not just the vocabulary, but the bio-mechanics of classical dance - every type and quality of movement.

Forward your written proposals to
augustevestrisATfree.fr

or by MP to this author, via Dansomanie.

It will you take several weeks to study the Bournonville Schools and figure out the WHY and WHEREFORE.

BUT WE ARE IN NO HURRY.

GO TO IT.
