Russian revolution as US dance rebel puts Kirov in a spin: Centuries- old company opens its UK repertory to 'Antichrist' of the ballet world
2005
Overview
For when the Kirov's London season opens on Monday, among such traditional favourites as Swan Lake, La Bayadere and Romeo and Juliet will be a programme of works by William Forsythe which famously rip apart both the conventions of classical ballet steps and the way classical ballet is performed. The Kirov has already added works to its repertory by the St Petersburg-born George Balanchine, who died in 1983, but Forsythe's work, with its conscious deconstruction of the ballet conventions held so sacred at the Kirov, is a much wilder departure. Aaron Watkin, currently Forsythe's choreographic assistant and ballet director-designate at the Dresden Ballet, taught Forsythe's works to the Kirov dancers.
