Glissade is a three-act ballet performance that studies the three types of ballet and how they have evolved over time. This poster was created as part of a group project where we were tasked to create a hypothetical performance and design a poster for it. Our poster features the element of three in the images used, as well as, in the treatment of the type.
Evolution of Dance
The theme of the performance is evolution and how things are able to gradually change over time. We hinted at this visually with the treatment of the three dancers and how they all come from this one point. Another primary element is how we played with the word glissade itself and when you split it in three, the word glide appears. This adds to the central theme of evolution and how it is seen in a dance style as elegant as ballet.
