    Bob Fosse Essay

    • 6 Pages

    The Fosse brand is highly based on the nightlife and social dances of the time. Some people compared Fosse’s style to other great’s including Astaire, Kelly, and Cole; however, Fosse’s style was specific to his body and his movement, which it is often difficult to compare to anyone else. He branded a specific style that even the untrained eye could pick out, “His stylized, from-the-hip, hat-over-one-eye work is distinguished by its economy (the power of a single gesture)” (Billman). Fosse was inspired by the natural sexuality of the human body and more specifically how dance can express a human’s sensuality. Fosse worked hard to create a staple for his choreography and he made sure his dancers worked equally as hard to embody…

    Pointe shoes have not been the same since ballerinas have been performing. They used to be slippers and were darned (sewed) around the toes to help to dancer rise onto her toes. Dancers were not able to stand on pointe for very long. Now, pointe shoes have much more support allowing you to stand on pointe longer. It wasn't until the early 1800's when dancers started to go on their toes on their own. The first (full length) ballet that was performed on pointe was called La Sylphide featuring Maria Taglioni in 1832.…

    The exhibition will include several garments from the May 2005 Paris auction of the private collection of Poiret's descendants, many of which had never been photographed or put on public display. The Metropolitan Museum acquired several of these garments – which were made for Poiret's wife Denise, who was his muse and wore his designs without concession to prevailing tastes – at the auction. While apprenticing in his teens to an umbrella maker, Paul Poiret entered the world of fashion when he sold some of his sketches to Madeleine Cheruit at her Paris fashion house. After stints with designers Doucet and Worth, he opened his own house in 1903 and was boosted by the patronage of Réjane, a famous actress of the period, among others. In his groundbreaking designs, he led the way to the chemise dress with his revival of Directoire silhouettes and his referencing of the simple cuts of ethnic costume. In 1911 he became the first fashion designer to create and market his own perfume, which he named after Rosine, his oldest…
