Jean-Georges Noverre
Jean-Georges Noverre was born in Paris on 27 April 1727 and died in Saint- Germain-en-Laye on 19 October 1810. He had an abrupt and demanding temperament, made many enemies and stirred up a variety of fierce artistic controversies during his long career. More than any other choreographer before him, he turned ballet into an independent art form and means of expression. Diderot called him "le génie", the one who would save dance, and Voltaire name…

As with Dim Sum, the quality of the individual items inevitably varied, but what counts is the cumulative effect. By that standard, this indeed proved a…

Cahusac, Diderot, and Noverre
The highly formalized classical drama of the seventeenth century with its three unities advocated the use of one plot around which all scenes and actions revolved. Eighteenth century ballet inherited these ideas and also offered a moral message in the hope of touching or profoundly moving the spectator. The plots attempted to deal authentically with natural feelings in real-life situations, using exaggerated gestures, tableaux vivants, and pantom…
