Biography
Tudor was born in London, and began dancing professionally with Ballet Lambert in 1928. There he choreographed Cross Garter'd, Lysistrata, and The Planets, as well as his two most famous works, Lilac Garden and Dark Elegies. In 1938, he founded the London Ballet, only to leave shortly thereafter. He was then invited to the New York City Ballet, where he restaged some of his older works, and went on to create Pillar of Fire and Undertow there. He was artistic director for the Royal Swedish Ballet from 1963 to 1964 and remained as the resident choreographer there until his death in 1987.
