Abstract

Lecture-demonstration about the bride's solo from Bronislava Nijinska's ballet Le baiser de la fée, first performed in 1928. Dance critic Jack Anderson opens the session with a historical overview of the ballet, then moderates a panel discussion with Nijinska's daughter Irina Nijinska and Nina Youshkevitch, who danced the role of the bride in 1934. The solo is performed twice in the course of the lecture-demonstration.
