What was a hallmark of Nijinska's choreography style?

  • Minimalist narrative

  • Traditional romantic

  • Heavy props

Answer

Minimalist narrative choreography, a signature style of Bronislava Nijinska, rejected the traditional, elaborate storytelling approach and instead focused on abstract movement and pure dance. This innovative technique stripped away narrative elements, allowing for greater exploration of form, rhythm, and dynamics, and placed the spotlight on the expressive power of movement itself. Nijinska's groundbreaking approach broke new ground in the world of dance and left a lasting impact on modern choreography.
