Bournonville concerns: The future of Bournonville past
Article Abstract:
The Third Bournonville Festival, held June 3-11, 2005, presented performances and exhibitions to gladden the hearts of the many loyal dance historians who attended the festival, but awareness of differences observed in the present choreography, compared with that seen at the 1979 and 1982, caused concern. It is a complex issue to decide whether these ballets be preserved intact as museum pieces or whether they need modification to meet the tastes of succeeding generations.

Reformations, re-formings, modern dances
Article Abstract:
Modern dance has been eclectic since its beginning and continues to be so. Various choreographic models, including choreography drawn entirely from workaday activities and choreography with an almost totally mimetic basis have flourished and declined. Modern dance has often used religious terminology and there are similarities. Diversity is also the lifeblood of religion and various religious models have flourished and declined.
