Lecture by Vita Khlopova "THE DUTCH BALLET IN THE XX CENTURY"

April 25, 19:00.

A meeting with the researcher of modern choreography, the curator and creator of the No fixed points project, Vita Khlopova, will be held in the space of DLT, the main fashion department store in St. Petersburg, the official partner of the XVIII Dance Open season. On the eve of the program, which will be presented by the Dutch troupe Introdans, Vita will offer Petersburg ballet fans to analyze the origins of the emergence of ballet art in this country, to talk about characters such as Sonia Gaskell, Rudi van Danzig, Hans van Manen and many others. Listeners will learn how Audrey Hepburn was connected with the topic of the lecture, and also watch excerpts from the best productions of the country’s key troupes: NDT, Het Nationale Ballet, Introdans and Scapino Ballet Rotterdam. A significant part of the lecture will be devoted to the NDT troupe, whose work is well known to regular audience of the Dance Open and choreographers who played an important role in its history: from Jiri Kilian to the creative tandem of Paul Lightfoot / Sol Leon.
