Abstract Using Kenneth MacMillan’s ballet The Invitation as a case study, this article focuses on the influence that cinema and painting exerted on his choreography. It examines how the visual imagery and techniques that came from the acknowledged audiovisual and pictorial sources of this ballet entered into his choreography. It also reveals that paintings by Francisco de Goya are highly probable, but previously unacknowledged, sources of the ballet. A final reflection considers the tableau vivant as a choreographic technique for an image-based effect.

肯尼斯麦克米兰与视觉艺术：案例研究

摘要 本文以肯尼斯·麦克米兰的芭蕾舞剧《请柬》为例，重点探讨电影和绘画对其编舞的影响。它检查了来自这部芭蕾舞剧的公认视听和图片来源的视觉图像和技术如何进入他的编舞。它还表明，弗朗西斯科·德·戈雅 (Francisco de Goya) 的画作很有可能是芭蕾舞剧的来源，但此前并未得到承认。最后的反思认为，生动活泼的画面是一种基于图像效果的编舞技术。
