DANCERS CALL IN CONSULTANTS Ballets of legendary Tudor require expert training
|
George Balanchine and Frederick Ashton were the brilliant lights
of 20th-century ballet. They were prolific, successful and charming
public men.
Compared with them, Antony Tudor (1909-1987) was a dark, enigmatic
figure in the background. He was intensely private. He was a Zen
master. He was famous and feared for his acid wit and his matchless
ability to manipulate people. Students revered and feared him for
his ruthless insights. He made just 53 ballets, the last in 1978.
