and appreciation of dance, but it will also bring
you closer to fellow Auditorium Theatre dance
devotees in a fun and engaging atmosphere!

The Lecture Series will take place on the second
floor of Roosevelt University in Room232.
Roosevelt University is conveniently located at

Course Description
Take an engaging
journey through
the evolution of
ballet over the
decades with
dance critic-
educator Lucia
Mauro, who also
hosts the Audito-
rium Theatre's Fireside Chats and Dialogue on Dance.
Through lectures, discussions and film clips, she will guide
participants through the lineage of classical ballet as it
developed out of the royal Renaissance and Baroque courts
and spread around the world through groundbreaking art-
ists, such as Filippo Taglioni and daughter Marie Taglioni,
Theophile Gautier, Marius Petipa, Anna Pavlova, Michel
Fokine, Vaslav Nijinsky, Bronislava Nijinska, Antony
Tudor, George Balanchine, and more.
