The Green Table; section 1 Video

  1. The movement that is shown in this clip is very gestural. These gestures represent tableaux images that are made by the gentlemen in black. The movements are very dramatic and characterized.

    They show clearly that they are having arguments but getting no where as they repeat the section where they keep going back to the table and sitting down talking again.

    Balletic movements are used such as pas de chat, jete and enssemble.

    They shoot a gun, declaring war has started and they will meet again.

    The Green Table is very characterized and dramatic, this links back to Kurt Jooss' background of singing and drama. It is almost like a Ballet d'action.
