Olivier Bernier Lecture
Sunday, December 4, 2011 3:00 pm
Classroom Building – Room 200

Inventing Art:
Dance from the Renaissance to Balanchine.
When ballets were a court pastime, and the nobles performed, only splendid costumes mattered. By the 18th century, talent and training were required but high heels and hooped skirts set the limits to a dancer's performance. These impediments disappeared in the 19th century: Now correct steps, high leaps and the ability to convey emotion became essential; unfortunately, though, in Paris and elsewhere dancers became the prey of rich and elderly men. Then Diaghilev came and Dance became a major art. From Renaissance artists to Degas and Picasso, this lecture will be a short illustrated history of ballet.

Art historian, author, and Metropolitan Museum of Art lecturer Olivier Bernier will deliver a lecture, hosted by President Joseph N. Hankin, and sponsored by the Jack and Ralynn Stadler Distinguished Chair for Art and Culture in Society.

Tickets are free, however reservations are required. Please call Westchester Community College Foundation at 914-606-6558 to reserve.
