Ballet Looks to the Future and Function of Beauty in Dance

How has a dance form created in seventeenth century France emerged as arguably the most adaptable and enduring style of theatrical dance? Despite its rarified origins, ballet has evolved to become relevant and popular all around the world and many contemporary choreographers try their hands at ballet. Is ballet simply about beauty? Is that its strength? What’s the difference between prettiness and beauty? How will ballet keep changing in the future? Craig Salstein and ballet choreographers from his new Intermezzo company consider how form, function, tradition and innovation intersect in ballet.
