Transcript text: Michel Fokine believed the purpose of ballet was to show off physical prowess rather than reveal emotions.
True
False
Solution
The answer is False.
Explanation:
Michel Fokine, a pioneering choreographer in the early 20th century, believed that ballet should be an expressive art form that conveys emotions and tells a story, rather than merely showcasing physical prowess. Fokine's approach to ballet emphasized the importance of dramatic expression and the integration of all elements of production, including music, set design, and costume, to create a cohesive and emotionally compelling performance. His reforms in ballet aimed to break away from the rigid structures and purely technical displays that characterized much of classical ballet at the time.
