520 _aIn the early 20th century, Taylor's principles of scientific management (i.e., Taylorism) fashioned control strategies that sought improvements in workers' productivity yet resulted in control of workers' bodies. This article explores the affinities between Taylorism and the ballets Apollo and Agon choreographed by George Balanchine and scored by Igor Stravinsky. Their work embodies a modernist aesthetic influenced by the principles of scientific management, and it reshaped the organization of modern ballet away from focus on the ballerinas and onto the "creative" and composer. - Reproduced.
