A 30 minute video and booklet explaining Cecchetti's enduring concepts
relative to Classical and Modern dance
Cecchetti had a complete buildup of concepts of movement, as demonstrated
in his adages for the Days of the Week, which enabled a dancer to
perform any movement asked for by the diverse choreographers of
Diaghilev's Ballet Russe. The booklet explains in detail the concepts
built up over the week. The video shows, for each day of the week,
these concepts demonstrated first in Cecchetti adages and then in
modern choreography.
This valuable resource for those preparing for Teacher Qualifying
Examinations, and a general education tool for Major level students,
was presented at the Australian Cecchetti Congress in Melbourne
and the 2001 Cecchetti Summer School in Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
