Characterization in Ballet
Story Telling in Dance Characterization is the backbone of dances that have a story line and of dances that show people interacting. Whenever a choreographer has to tell a story or bring a character to life, the image portrayed is an interpretation of the choreographer’s perspective. This interpretation can be literal or abstract. Characters are developed through; costume, movement and music. When a choreographer chooses a few movements and repeats them every time that a particular character appears, it will help the audience recognize “who” is dancing. This is called a movement signature.
