All proceeds from the sale of these items will be donated toward an Endowed Tudor Scholarship at The Juilliard School. The Antony Tudor Ballet Trust, in honor of the late choreographer's 100th birthday, proudly presented "The Antony Tudor Centennial Celebration" jointly with The Juilliard School at Lincoln Center on March 29 & 30, 2008.
The weekend brought together generations of dancers, writers and others who were touched by the life of Tudor. The event was highlighted by teaching workshops that reconstructed his class combinations and choreography. Panel discussions featuring dancers, writers and musicians offering commentary on his life and work were attended by over 250 guests and participants.

From Sally Brayley Bliss, Trustee of the Antony Tudor Ballet Trust:
Welcome to the preview of ATBT's website, www.antonytudor.org. Finally it is launched! We are very pleased but do apologize for taking such a long time. This project was more work than one can imagine: choosing an overall design to best represent Tudor's life's work; conveying Tudor's history from a fresh perspective; creating a synopsis for each of his 55 ballets, many never been put in writing before; tracking down archival photos; and, hardest of all, securing permission from the photographers and everyone involved. I think you all will be pleased and agree the website is worth the wait. Official launch date: November 12, 2009! |
Antony Tudor ballets have appeared in every major ballet company around the globe for the last seven decades. As a dancer/choreographer with Ballet Rambert and a founding choreographer of American Ballet Theatre, Antony Tudor holds a legendary place in the history of ballet.
Princesses, sylphs, and swans have no place in Tudor's choreography. His ballets are feted as being the first "psychological" ballets. Unlike the fantastic and fanciful premises of his contemporaries, Tudor's inspiration was driven by complex emotions and distinct themes with universal, cross-cultural applications.
