Born: April 15, 1710, Brussels [Died] April 20, 1770. French ballerina. Her real name was Marie-Anne de Cupis de Camargo. Born to an Italian father and a Spanish mother. After studying under F. Prévost in Paris, she made her debut at the Opera in 1726 with "Les characters de danse". She danced in "Ajas", "The Disguised Lovers", "The Judgement of Paris", "The Grace of the Indies", and other pieces. She was a rival of M. Salé, who rejected the old customs of ballet, and Camargo also shortened the hem of her skirt and took off the heels of her dancing shoes. This gave her legs more freedom, allowing her to take quick steps in the air, and she invented the entrechat quatre (four entrechats) and jeté. She was famous for her ability to perform large steps in the air, which had previously been reserved for men. She was not particularly blessed with good looks, but it is said that she did not look that way on stage. She became a French citizen in 1732 and retired in 1751. Later, in 1930, the Camargo Society was founded in London to provide financial support for the ballet.

[生]1710.4.15. ブリュッセル [没]1770.4.20. パリ フランスのバレリーナ。本名 Marie-Anne de Cupis de Camargo。イタリア人を父,スペイン人を母に生れる。パリで F.プレボーに師事したのち,1726年『舞踊の登場人物』でオペラ座にデビュー。『アジャス』『仮装した恋人』『パリスの審判』『優雅なインド諸島』などを踊った。バレエの旧習を排した M.サレの好敵手であり,カマルゴもスカートの裾を短くし,舞踊靴のかかとを取って踊った。これにより脚足の自由を獲得し,空中での速いステップを可能にして,アントルシャ・カトル (4回のアントルシャ) やジュッテを考案。それまで男性用であった,空中の大きなステップをこなすことで有名であった。決して恵まれた容姿ではなかったらしいが,舞台ではそうみえなかったといわれている。 32年フランスに帰化し,51年に引退。のち 1930年に,バレエを財政的に援助する目的でロンドンにカマルゴ協会が設立された。 出典 ブリタニカ国際大百科事典 小項目事典ブリタニカ国際大百科事典 小項目事典について 情報 |
