| Pavlova, Massine, Nijinska, Nijinsky, Preobrazhenskaya, Lifar, de Valois, Karsavina, Legat, and Vaganova all studied with one man: the amazing Enrico Cecchetti (1850-1928). From the 1930s to the 1960s, they were a nexus of splendid dancing; of magnificent choreography, by Leonide Massine, George Balanchine, David Lichine, and others; and of fantastic spectacle, including costumes and scenery by such distinguished artists as Matisse and Dali. He combined Satie's witty, sardonic music with cubist sets by Picasso and eclectic choreography by Leonide Massine to create ``Parade,'' a bizarre, comic scene about a troupe of performers trying to induce passersby to come to their show. |
