And my old ballet school said that I should start pointe at 11. What do you think?? Thank you! :)
In the film Billy Elliot what famous ballet did he star in at the end of the movie?
It is in fact "Adam Cooper" who is the beautiful trapped princess Odette in Matthew Bourne's version of swan lake which has only male ballet dancers in order to express the swans' power and strength. I believe that the section you see in Billy Elliot is the opening (as he is getting warmed up; is being informed of how his family has "arrived" etc) . However i cannot seem to find the incredible leap he enters the stage with........ it may be just on the movie, I'm not sure.

In Boston, Stravinsky conducted a performance of his arrangement of the American National Anthem, which he dedicated to the American people and allowed to be used freely. Stravinsky's unconventional stylistic tendencies resulted in an arrangement which didn't sit well with the state of Massachusetts, whose government had a law against the tampering of national property. They considered the anthem national property, and his reharmonization "tampering." Essentially, he was initially arrested for desecration of a national hymn.
They seized his score and took him away.
Luckily, he was released after he convinced authorities of his good intentions.
How do you put a ballet skirt on?
If you're talking about a tutu then it's actually pretty easy. Most tutu's have a leotard shape and all you do is put it on like you're putting on pants. Hold the crutch bit and pull it up and then get someone else to put together the clips at the back (if it has them).
If you're talking about a wrap skirt, hold it behind you at your hip's height and pull the left side across your front and then the right side. The two bits of material should almost meet at the back and tie a bow with the ribbon to hold it in place.

What style of dance is ghost dances by christopher Bruce?
Christopher Bruce's, Ghost Dances, is an amazing ballet. In the 1970's there was a coup d'etat in Chile. Coup d'etat meaning the military overthrew the government, a takeover.
During this coup certain people going against the new government were "taken away" in the middle of the night. Families lost loved ones suddenly with no notice.
Christopher Bruce was inspired by their stories and created Ghost Dances. He used Andean Folk music.
But what is interesting and I think awesome is the first 5-7 minutes of the ballet, there is no music, only the sound of wind blowing. The three ghosts must coordinate and communicate with each other, using their breath and instincts.
During the dance the Ghosts will take away certain people of the village with no warning, much like the people who were taken away from their families in the 70's in Chile.

What is the definition of artistic convention?
An artistic convention is a method or style of conveying or portraying something that is widely used and recognized as meaning a certain thing (or conforming to a certain style).
For example, in recent movies and television shows, when you see slightly jumpy, jerky camera work (Battlestar Galactica and The Bourne movies come immediately to mind), the method of filming emulates a handheld camera, and most viewers recognize that it is intended to convey a more realistic setting and serquence of events.
A more mundane example is when someone turns out the lights on a TV show, then we see them getting up or getting ready in the morning. The convention is that turning out the lights meant everyone went to sleep (or did other things), and now it's morning. Kind of obvious, but that's one conventional way of showing that night passed on TV.
.......
As a history student, to me artistic convention is that which appeared or reappeared during the renaissance. I.e symbols such as scales representing justice which the Romans liked to use and many western country courts now.
