Making The Ballet of the Nations: Directing and Choreography

Abstract

Writers, directors, producers, and dancers Roseanna Anderson and Joshua Ben-Tovim speak with the British Art Studies editorial team about choreographing Impermanence's The Ballet of the Nations. How did art-historical research enable Impermanence to creatively rearticulate Vernon Lee’s 1915 pacifist publication, and to what extent did this shape their collaborative working methods?
