I've put this up for pgood after checking the text. It needs sources, which we can get from the En wiki version. I should explain that I've changed the introductory sentence for a reason. Although the "book" was by Stravinsky, the extraordinary choreography by Nijinsky (in the teeth of opposition from S.) means that the work was in effect a joint composition. Nijinsky's sister, Nijinska, who survived until the 70s, passed on her brother's choreography for the ballet. Her teaching was recorded by the Royal Ballet in London. Therefore, there is no question that Nijinsky was the source of the choreography, which is almost the entire content of the ballet apart from the music (the costume design I do not know about).
