	Dance International > Current Issue
		In his ballets, August Bournonville preserved the memory of his own training in Paris during the 1820s, a period that witnessed the transition between post-revolutionary ballet d'action, with its classical and mythological themes, and Romantic ballet, with its glorification of emotion, imagination and intuition.
		Bournonville, who lived between 1805 and 1879, was the son of a French father and a Swedish mother, but he considered himself thoroughly Danish, and his work is a harmonization of the French style of dancing with Nordic social and cultural history.
		Bournonville's ballets, along with the poetry of Adam Oehlenschläger and the dramas of Johan Ludvig Heiberg, were central to the Royal Theatre during the first half of the 19th century.

	Bournonville Birthday Gala - Eva Kistrup (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Bournonville celebrations were concluded in international style, but, from the best of intentions, instead of showing how international Bournonville has become, it became clear how different Bournonville is from the mainstream international repertoire and how little influence and inspiration is drawn from Bournonville.
		Choosing the right cover to embrace the Bournonville heritage is the major challenge for the company and a challenge that can not be borne by any other company.
		But likewise Bournonville must not be a pillow for the company, nor, I hope, have we put Bournonville to sleep for the next 13 years until it is festival time again in 2018.

	Tomalonis-B2000
		August Bournonville (1805-1879) was banished from the kingdom, endured a period of exile, survived two rebellious ballerinas, the Revolution of 1848 and 50 years of backstage politics, and turned a provincial ballet company into one of the world’s greatest.
		Bournonville’s ballets have survived realism, modernism, and the Nazi Occupation, but there’s now a real fear a theater bureaucracy determined to produce efficient art at all costs and the current trend towards internationalization that’s sweeping the ballet world like the ebola virus may finally do them in.
		The original Bournonville Festival was held in 1979 in honor of the 100th anniversary of his death, and was designed by then-artistic director Henning Kronstam to restore as much of the Bournonville repertory as possible and revitalize the company’s classical dancing.

	wbur.org Arts - Dance - Danish Treat
		Bournonville ballet is a style that joins irrepressible footwork, intricate and light as lace doilies, to an upper body that, as RDB balletmaster Lloyd Riggins explained, is "calm enough to drink a cup of tea." For Bournonville, feet are the rhythm and arms are the melody.
		Bournonville's ballets -- created during Denmark's Golden Age, between 1830 and 1877, a period which for the sake of orientation spans the period between the American presidencies of Andrew Jackson and Rutherford B. Hayes -- were products of a Romanticism that strove for inner understanding amid a welter of potentially destabilizing emotions.
		Former Boston Ballet director Bruce Marks, the American who danced with the company and married into one of the Royal Danish Ballet's most distinguished families, was on hand for "Abdallah," the ballet he helped to restore in 1986 after nabbing the scenario in a Sotheby's auction.

		August Bournonville is one of the most revered names in ballet history.
		Bournonville’s style emphasized clean, accurate footwork rather than bravura leaps and turns, and it became apparent over time that this “grounded” approach to dancing made bravura work less risky for the dancers.
		Bournonville, who came a century after the French dancing-masters, placed the training and athleticism of men on an equal footing with those of women.

		This season celebrates the 200th anniversary of the birth of the great choreographer August Bournonville, whose choreography has been recorded on film and video for more than 100 years.
		August Bournonville (1805-1879) spent the greater part of his career as dancer, ballet master and choreographer in Copenhagen where his creations for the Royal Danish Ballet encapsulated many of the ideas promoted by the Romantic movement in dance.
		Bournonville's choreography was first seen on the London stage in the 1860s, but it assumed an importance half a century ago as first dance critics and then audiences discovered this wonderful repository of forgotten ballets which had survived in more-or-less continuous performance from the time they were created.

	Ballet, Dance and Theatre
		The fact that The Royal Danish Ballet enjoys international renown is due primarily to August Bournonville (1805-1879), whose works are performed by The Royal Danish Ballet on various international tours and have also been included in the repertory of many foreign companies.
		Despite his French-sounding name, August Bournonville was Danish and his works reflected the thoughts and ideas of his age in much the same way as, for instance, the writer Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875), who was a close friend of Bournonville’s.
		His successors upheld the tradition, especially Hans Beck (1861-1952), who in the 1890s brought together training steps from Bournonville’s classes and variations from his ballets to create what is still known as the Bournonville schools and continues to form the basis of ballet training when introducing today’s dancers to Bournonville’s style.
