The Bournonville Pillow: Hans Brenaa, Kirsten Ralov, and the Frank Andersen crew
Article Abstract:
August Bournonville's choreography, the special Bournonville style under different directors, is compared to a pillow, which has had several different pillowcases over the years. The Bournonville Pillow is a symbol of what the ballet-master gave to the Royal Danish Ballet, the tradition being the steps, the ballets, and the schools, but most especially a heritage of characters, the figures from Bournonville's ballets that are handed down from one generation of dancers to the next.
