THE BALLETS RUSSES PROJECT: A Centennial Celebration
This unique symposium will bring together artists, academics, critics and practitioners to celebrate the centennial of the Ballets Russes and its resonance today. The conversation will touch upon local currents in the arts that relate to the legacy of the troupe and its forward-thinking approach to interdisciplinarity. A special focus will treat the 100th anniversary of Sergei Diaghilev’s company as an opportunity to consider the role of the artist as Global Citizen. We will examine the extraordinary cultural encounters that the Ballets Russes triggered as they traversed the globe and learned to market themselves and their aesthetic as a truly international, collaborative experiment … one that provoked audiences to reimagine the ballet.
