Fokine

Japanese: フォーキン
Fokine
Russian dancer and choreographer. Later he took the name Michel Fokine. Born in St. Petersburg, he graduated from the Imperial Choreographic School in 1898 and joined the Mariinsky Theatre Ballet Company. He developed an interest in choreography early on and studied art, music, and theater, aiming to create ballet as a comprehensive art form. In 1907 he created The Dying Swan for Pavlova. This work was different from previous ballet works, using an existing masterpiece (Saint-Saëns's The Swan). Diaghilev, who was aiming to create a new art form, invited Fokine to be the chief choreographer of the Ballets Russes, and most of the Ballets Russes' programs from 1909 to 1912 and 1914 were Fokine's works. Her style was innovative, placing emphasis on theatricality, using costumes and stage sets that fit the theme, and in some cases not even using pointe ballet, and she is said to be the father of modern ballet. Since 1923, she has lived in New York. Her main works include "Les Sylphides" (1909, original by Chopin), "The Firebird" (1910, music by Stravinsky), "The Fairy of the Rose" (1911, music by C. M. von Weber), "Petrushka" (1911, music by Stravinsky), and "Daphnis and Chloe" (1912, music by M. Ravel). → Duncan / Cecchetti / I.

ロシアの舞踊家,振付家。のちにはミシェルMichel Fokineと名のる。ペテルブルグに生まれ,1898年帝室舞踊学校を卒業,マリインスキー劇場バレエ団に入団。早くから振付に興味をもち,美術や音楽,演劇なども勉強して,総合芸術としてのバレエの創造をめざす。1907年パブロワのために《瀕死(ひんし)の白鳥》を創作。この作品は既成の名曲(サン・サーンス曲の《白鳥》)を用いるなど,従来のバレエ作品とは一線を画すものであった。新しい芸術の創造をめざしていたディアギレフは〈バレエ・リュッス〉の首席振付者としてフォーキンを迎え,1909年―1912年,1914年のバレエ・リュッスの演目のほとんどはフォーキンの作品で占められた。作風は演劇性を重んじ,主題に即した衣装や美術を用い,場合によってはポアントも使わない革新的なもので,近代バレエ(モダン・バレエ)の祖ともいわれる。1923年以降はニューヨーク在住。おもな作品は《レ・シルフィード》(1909年,ショパン原曲),《火の鳥》(1910年,ストラビンスキー曲),《薔薇の精》(1911年,C.M.vonウェーバー曲),《ペトルーシカ》(1911年,ストラビンスキー曲),《ダフニスとクロエ》(1912年,M.ラベル曲)など。→ダンカン/チェケッティ/I.ルビンシテイン
