Another Ballets Russes conference


Recommended Posts

The Spirit of Diaghilev is a festival co-sponsored by Boston University and Ballets Russes, 2009.

The home page is http://www.ballets-russes.com/index.htm

Their mission is:

To honor and explore the legacy of this revolutionary performing company, Ballets Russes 2009 will feature dance, music, visual art, cinema, and other happenings inspired by the genius of Diaghilev's creative team and the extraordinary figure of the impresario himself.

There will be an academic conference and many other events. It looks very exciting.

Thanks for reminding everyone of this event. I did give notice of it back in February and I hope your post will give further encouragement for people to attend and report back to us.

I'm a Boston University alumnus, and live only 30 minutes away from Hartford's Atheneum so I am going to try and attend some of these events--with Boston Ballet's performances at top of list. But the dates do overlap with those other two companies at Lincoln Center so it's going to be a long week, or longer shuttle.
