С конкретными примерами.                                                                                                                                                                 В статье также идёт речь о роли Лавровского в становлении жанра драм. балета.                                                                                                               "Cranko’s ballet, choreographed for Stuttgart Ballet in 1964 and first danced by The Australian Ballet a decade later, gleams with small, pearlescent details borrowed from Lavrovsky: the dying Mercutio strums his rapier in forlorn musical jest; Juliet signs the dawning of adult’s arrival by placing her hands on her breasts; Capulet and Montague wield ancient family swords; Romeo raises Juliet kneeling to his chest in a lift conceived by Lavrovsky for their meeting and transposed by Cranko to their wedding scene.

Cranko, of course, adds innovations of his own, like the three street dancers, who MacMillan borrowed for the Royal Ballet’s 1965 production. Cranko also eschews – and MacMillan likewise – the heroic style of Lavrovsky’s choreography to emphasise the leaner athleticism and conspicuous flexibility of his generation. For both Cranko and MacMillan, Romeo and Juliet was an important pathway to their future masterworks. Without Lavrovsky’s influence, we may never have had Cranko’s Onegin or The Taming of the Shrew or experienced MacMillan’s Manon and Mayerling, all of which owe their origins to a benchmark set by Lavrovsky for complex, narrative-driven storytelling through dance."                                                                                                                                                                 https://australianballet.com.au/blog/la … AwMDUwMgS2
