“SENSUALITY AND NATIONALISM IN ROMANTIC BALLET” features never-before-published early ballet solos and duets. The video reveals intriguing facets of 19th century ballet that illustrate innovations far beyond our common understanding of this era. In fact, this period of ballet offered a revolutionary focus highlighting the stories and characters of everyday people, inspired by a combination of dynamic influences from 'national dance'. The colorful ballet of this era, bridges the gap from the opulence of Baroque dance, supported by the wealth of kings and queens, to the broadened aesthetics and virtuosic technique of the Romantic Ballet, which became the vibrant link to Classical Ballet. The film includes a sampling of restaged dances based solely on documentation provided by 19th century dance literature and iconography. Among them is the renowned Cachucha, originally performed in 1836 and identified with the Romantic Ballet icon Fanny Elssler. Also featured are dances from the choreographer, Henri Justamant, a French ballet master who left fully notated scores of more than 100 ballets and divertissements, and whose work has never before been presented to the public. Dance footage is supplemented by an extraordinary collection of illustrations from the Derra de Moroda Dance Archives of Salzburg, Austria. The restaged dances represent the largest selection of early ballet choreographies, as reconstructed from documentation, ever published. The full list of the documented restaged dances is: Fandango [1761], Vestris Gavotte [1832], Cachucha [1871], Pas de L'Abeille [1843], Pas de la Esmeralda [1859], Tyrolienne [1859]. The video was conceived and written by Professor Claudia Jeschke, Chair of the Department of Dance Studies at the University of Salzburg, and Robert Atwood, instructor of classical ballet at The Ailey School in New York City,

BBC Symphony Orchestra conducted by / Orquesta Sinfónica de la BBC dirigida por Jiri Belohlavek Josef Suk’s symphonic Poem Prague is one of his most noteworthy works. Conceived in rhapsodic form, it is a display of romantic nationalism as it evokes ancient themes like a Hussite chorale and Battle Scene, as well as a love theme for Suk’s wife. Its ending is, according to Suk, a celebration for the Eternal Prague. El poema sinfónico Praga de Josef Suk es una de sus obras más notables. Concebido en forma de rapsodia, es un despliegue de nacionalismo romántico al evocar temas antiguos como un Coral Husita y una escena de Batalla, así como un tema de amor para la esposa de Suk. El final de la pieza, de acuerdo con Suk, es una celebración de la Praga Eterna. Image/imagen: Rooftops over Prague. Artist Unknown. / Tejados sobre Paga. Artista Desconocido. Ca. 1880.

Romantic nationalism (also national romanticism, organic nationalism, identity nationalism) is the form of nationalism in which the state derives its political legitimacy as an organic consequence of the unity of those it governs. This includes, depending on the particular manner of practice, the language, race, culture, religion, and customs of the "nation" in its primal sense of those who were "born" within its culture. This form of nationalism arose in reaction to dynastic or imperial hegemony, which assessed the legitimacy of the state from the "top down", emanating from a monarch or other authority, which justified its existence. Such downward-radiating power might ultimately derive from a god or gods (see the divine right of kings and the Mandate of Heaven).
Among the key themes of Romanticism, and its most enduring legacy, the cultural assertions of romantic nationalism have also been central in post-Enlightenment art and political philosophy. From its earliest stirrings, with their focus on the development of national languages and folklore, and the spiritual value of local customs and traditions, to the movements that would redraw the map of Europe and lead to calls for "self-determination" of nationalities, nationalism was one of the key issues in Romanticism, determining its roles, expressions and meanings.
Lee Alexander McQueen, CBE (17 March 1969 – 11 February 2010) was a British fashion designer and couturier best known for his in-depth knowledge of bespoke British tailoring, his tendency to juxtapose strength with fragility in his collections, as well as the emotional power and raw energy of his provocative fashion shows.[opinion] He is also known for having worked as chief designer at Givenchy from 1996 to 2001 and for founding his own Alexander McQueen label. His achievements in fashion earned him four British Designer of the Year awards (1996, 1997, 2001 and 2003), as well as the CFDA's International Designer of the Year award in 2003.
Born on 17 March 1969 in Lewisham, London, to Scottishtaxi driver Ronald and social science teacher Joyce, McQueen was the youngest of six children. He grew up in a council flat in a tower block in Stratford. He attended Carpenters Road Primary School, started making dresses for his three sisters at a young age, and announced his intention to become a fashion designer.
