Antony Tudor (1908-1987) was one of the first choreographers to emerge from Marie Rambert's Ballet Club.
When the Club was established in 1930 Tudor was employed as stage manager, secretary and pianist and provided with the opportunity to experiment and develop as a choreographer.
By this time, Tudor had accepted an invitation to choreograph for (American) Ballet Theatre and settled in the USA for the rest of his life.

 Antony Tudor - John Percival   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The way Tudor set, and sometimes contrasted, the Chausson music (“Poème”) is well established, bringing out the individuality of the principals and sometimes the other party-goers too, especially the one identifiable as Caroline’s sister.
Tudor originally used the highly popular score adapted by Manuel Rosenthal from an Offenbach operetta for Leonide Massine’s “Gaité parisienne”, but the Canadian conductor George Crum made an equally attractive new arrangement for the revised production.
Tudor doesn’t introduce such distinctive characters as Massine did, but his treatment holds together better as a continuing whole, and his long sequence of can-can dances provides a rowdier climax.
