Excerpt from Dance Index, 1944, Vol. 3From Kiev Tchelitchew went, indirectly, to Constantinople where, two years later, he designed six ballets for the company of Vic tor Zimine, a pupil of the dancer Mikhail Mordkin. As had been the case with The Geisha, the designs were simple for the bal lets which the troupe of half a dozen dancers presented were short and were changed each week. But in them Tchelitchew realised some of the theatrical'possibilities of cubism, to ward which his ideas had turned. The lines of the fairy tale costumes which he straight ened to heighten the fantasy suggested to him the larger possibilities in the same direction which he used in subsequent productions. He saw that in movement ballet costumes could become quite different from their stationary forms, and he began to include all the per mutations a costume might undergo in his original conception of it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
