"The Green Table"








The Green Table is a ballet by the German choreographer Kurt Jooss and his most popular work, depicting the futility of peace negotiations of the 1930s. It was the first work to be fully notated using kinetographyLaban (Labanotation). It is in the repertoire of ballet companies worldwide, where it has been staged by Jooss himself.

    This blog makes me want to see a live performance of "The Green Table" even more than I had wanted before. I think it is wonderful how expressive Jooss's choreography is in "The Green Table."

    In this video, I saw the dancers through gesture and dance movements to express different emotions. And "The Green Table" reflects a concern for social issues and the problems of that era, such as political corruption and militaristic policies.
