Abstract | Two major ballet techniques are named after their founders and are practiced in the countries from which they originate-- the Vaganova technique from Russia and the Balanchine Method from America. In my thesis, I will investigate what factors influenced these ballet techniques in addition to what similarities and differences they have. As I intend to become a professional ballerina, it is important to understand the influences of culture and geography on ballet training and technique. My research process is mixed method, meaning I conducted both traditional academic research in addition to embodied research. With this comparative analysis between two techniques, I wanted to seek out all possible historical, cultural, and embodied implications. Both techniques are a celebration of art and culture, and both are also reflections of their cultures' ideals. We can learn so much about a country's culture and past by delving into its art, so continuing dance research is both informative and influential. |
