Ballet, at first look, seems to be so easy to execute, but behind the smooth moves and elegant stance, lies a rigorous practice and countless nights of choreography before being able to perfect an act.
Choreography is the term used of how the moves will be done and as to what timing the dancers should follow and the emotions that they should be showing at the beat of the music, at the rhythm of the sounds and silence in their act.
The Choreographer
He/She may be compared to the director of a film. They have the power to arrange to movements of the dancers. But just like a good director, a good choreographer should also be open for the ideas of the people involved in the production or those who have seen the performance and have something to say or suggest about it.
As choreographers, they should be good examples to their artists. Most of them are also dancers. Some might even had shared the ballet limelight during the earlier years of their lives and now choose to teach what they have learned with all the experiences they've gone through.
These people first try for themselves if the choreography will be safe and if it is danceable and fits the musical score. For this reason, it is important that they have a background in the field. In most instances, they will perform the moves and the dancers would follow suit.
Choreographers have the vision and the plan but in executing all those, it really should be a groups effort for the first couldn't do it all alone.
The person in charge looks at the production as a whole. They would sit as an audience member to look at the dance from the latter's point of view. They will place themselves as the performer to make sure that every move is safe. They will be their number one critic because this also helps them improve on their craft.
Recorded Choreography
There are great performances in ballet history that until now, those are still being performed using the same choreography as the original, to preserve the innocence and the genius behind those acts. The most notable ballets that are prominent until now include the 1841 production, Giselle and the 1877 act, Swan Lake.
Labanotation, on the other hand, is the term being used in recording the choreographies of the different ballet acts. This term was coined by its inventor, Rudolf von Laban, a teacher and at the same time, a choreographer.
Successful ballets depend a lot on powerful and well executed choreographies, so it is vital for such a performance to be handled by the right person fit for the job.
