Modern ballet

Japanese: モダン・バレエ(英語表記)modern ballet
Modern ballet
In contrast to classical ballet, modern ballet refers to ballets that are created freely and without the conventions of mime and grand pas de deux, which are basic elements of classical ballet. Whereas classical ballet was centered on female protagonists, modern ballet has equal roles and has also created ballets that focus on men. This tendency was evident in Diaghilev's Ballets Russes from 1909 onwards, and was pioneered by works by M. Fokine and V. Nijinsky. G. Balanchine and S. Lifar, who appeared in the later Ballets Russes, created ballets with new ideas in America and France.

Japanese:
クラシック・バレエに対して,その基本的要素であるマイムやグラン・パ・ド・ドゥなどの約束ごとを排して自由に創作されたものをいう。クラシック・バレエでは女性の主役が中心だったが,モダン・バレエではそれが対等に行われ,男性を中心にしたものもつくられた。1909年以降のディアギレフのバレエ・リュッスにおいて顕著にその傾向があらわれ,その先鞭をつけたのはM.フォーキンやV.ニジンスキーの作品である。バレエ・リュッス後期に登場したG.バランチンやS.リファールはその後アメリカやフランスで新しい思考によるバレエをつくった。
