ResumoClick to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size Notes 1. Only recently, since 2005, under the artistic direction of Kathryn Bennetts, has the RBoF undergone a significant change. Bennetts, who formerly worked with William Forsythe at Ballet Frankfurt, brought choreographies by Forsythe and Jiři Kýlian into the repertoire, and commissioned new work by David Dawson, Nicolo Fonte and Helen Pickett. 2. In 1982, De Keersmaeker had an immediate success with her debut, Fase, followed up by Rosas danst Rosas (1983). Simultaneously, Fabre, with his background in visual arts, adapted the ingredients of experimental performance art in his seven-hour This is theater like it was to be expected and foreseen (1982) and in The Power of Theatrical Madness (1984). 3.
