Question

A character choreographed by this person is kicked onstage and gets up to the sound of juxtaposed C and F-sharp major triads from the clarinets. Being expressive “from head to foot” and linking “dancing and mimetic gesture” to “dramatic action” are two of this (-5[1])choreographer’s five principles. This choreographer responded to criticism of rejecting pointe work by creating a solo dance set to a piece from The Carnival of the Animals. A ballet (-5[1])choreographed (10[1])by this person opens with a Polonaise in A major orchestrated by Alexander Glazunov, and was initially titled after Frédéric Chopin. This choreographer left the Ballets Russes in 1912 (-5[1])after working on Petrushka (-5[1])and Les Sylphides (“seel-FEED”). For 10 points, name this Russian choreographer who created The Dying Swan (10[1])for Anna Pavlova. (0[1])■END■ (0[6])
