The Choreography of Antony Tudor: Focus on Four Ballets

This work presents an analytical overview of the ballets created for the stage by Antony Tudor and in-depth critical analysis of four key works: Jardin aux Lilas (1936), Dark Elegies (1937), Pillar of Fire (1942), and The Leaves are Fading (1975). The central focus throughout is the investigation of Tudor’s choreographic style, with reference especially to his exceptional musicality and his keen sense of psychological subtlety.
