Angelica, where did you hear Makarova talk about dancing at Indiana University? Because I was in that performance with her, and if she spoke about it somewhere, I'd love to hear it! In fact I just happened to post about it on another thread here recently. It was in the early 1970s, and she and Ivan Nagy were guest artists with the Indiana University student dance company in Giselle (I danced one of Giselle's Friends). I believe that the faculty member who directed that production was Kenneth Melville, formerly Royal Ballet. It was quite an experience!
I'm new on this site and just noticed this post from 2 years ago. I was also in Giselle at IU with Makarova & Nagy. I was a freshman boy. Jayne, I hope you respond. It would be fun to compare notes and see if we recognize each other after so many years. Oh, the ballet was staged by Dolin. Melville was Hilarion in that production.
The end of all things
