He did not believe virtuoso ballet techniques to symbolize anything, and thought they could be substituted with forms that better expressed emotions and themes. Fokine was a strong believer in the communicative power of dance and pushed for creativity that broke tradition, believing that tradition is often distinct from reality and fails to capture the entire spectrum of human emotions. He believed that unless movements are expressive, they are irrational and neither delightful nor tolerable.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Fokine also sought to strip ballets of their artificial technicality and outdated costumes. He believed that many of the ballets of his time used costumes and techniques that did not reflect the themes of the ballets. Fokine studied <a href="/wiki/Greek_art" title="Greek art">Greek</a> and <a href="/wiki/Egyptian_art" class="mw-redirect" title="Egyptian art">Egyptian</a> art, including vase painting and <a href="/wiki/Sculpture" title="Sculpture">sculpture</a>, and incorporated these into his ballets. As a choreographer, he took ballerinas out of their <a href="/wiki/Pointe_shoe" title="Pointe shoe">pointe shoes</a> when pointe did not serve any "artistic purpose". He believed that <i>pointe</i> should be used when the dancing body desires to express a soaring and upward theme, rather than to flaunt the strength of dancers' feet. He presented this new idea to the <a href="/wiki/Mariinsky_Theatre" title="Mariinsky Theatre">Imperial Mariinsky Theater</a>'s management, but did not win their support. One of Fokine's requests was to have his dancers perform barefoot in his 1907 ballet <i>Eunice</i>. His request was denied, and Fokine had toes painted on the dancers' tights so they would appear to be barefoot. </p><p>He also experimented with shifting the emphasis of movement away from the lower body and towards the whole body, with freer use of the arms and torso and using each muscle with clear intention.<sup id="cite_ref-:0_5-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-:0-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In doing so, Fokine sought to unify motion with emotion and the body with the soul, bringing new life to the ballet as a language and an art. </p><p>In 1923, he choreographed the ballet <i>Ajanta Frescoes</i> for <a href="/wiki/Anna_Pavlova" title="Anna Pavlova">Anna Pavlova</a> after she had been inspired by her visit to the <a href="/wiki/Ajanta_Caves" title="Ajanta Caves">Ajanta Caves</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(3)"><span class="indicator mf-icon mf-icon-expand mf-icon--small"></span><h2 id="Cultural_depiction">Cultural depiction</h2><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Michel_Fokine&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Cultural depiction" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div><section class="mf-section-3 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-3"> <ul><li><i><a href="/wiki/Nijinsky_(film)" title="Nijinsky (film)">Nijinsky (film)</a></i>, film by <a href="/wiki/Herbert_Ross" title="Herbert Ross">Herbert Ross</a> - portrayed by <a href="/wiki/Jeremy_Irons" title="Jeremy Irons">Jeremy Irons</a> (1980)</li> <li><i><a href="/wiki/Anna_Pavlova_(film)" title="Anna Pavlova (film)">Anna Pavlova</a></i>, film by <a href="/wiki/Emil_Loteanu" title="Emil Loteanu">Emil Loteanu</a> - portrayed by <a href="/wiki/Sergey_Shakurov" title="Sergey Shakurov">Sergey Shakurov</a> (1983)</li></ul> <p>Tribute To Ballet, with Prefatory poem To M.
