Mme. Hermine Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I have this photograph, and I can only basically identify about 3 or 4 people in it (and may be wrong about a couple of those). I see Ann Barzel, Nora Kaye, what looks like Ruth Ann Koesun and a gentleman who looks a bit like Oliver Smith. Anyone have ideas on the others? (sorry if the picture quality isn't great). Thanks! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v433/Mme. Hermine/sss-1.jpg Link to comment
rg Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 from my one quick look i can only vote to confirm the whitehaired man as o.smith after that, other than what you've noted above, i'm out... Link to comment
Amy Reusch Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I'm probably totally crazy on this, but I kind of think the dark haired woman in the center of the shot looks a bit like Joysanne Sidimus... but it's been over 20 years since I last saw her and at a later date than that photo... (and you're probably going to tell me that's Nora Kaye). http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt...:en-us%26sa%3DN Link to comment
carbro Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I think "Nora Kaye" is Nora Kaye. There is an undeniable resemblance, but the woman in Mme. Hermine's photo has a broader forehead than Ms. Sidimus. Mme. Hermine, do you know anything about the circumstances around this photo? Link to comment
atm711 Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 The white haired man on the couch reminds me of photos I have seen of the publisher of Dance Magazine (years ago!). Yes, I agree it is Koesun and Kaye. Link to comment
rg Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 it the publisher you mention Rudolf Orthwine? Link to comment
Mme. Hermine Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 now that's interesting, because i had looked at him and he looked quite familiar. the picture was with a group of books that was given to me. no clue about its origin except that it looks to be 1970s? also it appears to have been taken in Chicago as the photographer on the back is Paul Hansen, with a Chicago address.

Amy Reusch Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Welcome to Ballet talk! (and thanks for all your great work helping dancers in transition!) Now it's tempting to mis-identify some one else in the photo! Let's see... who could I say looks like.... (Just kidding! I hope you liked Nora Kaye). Link to comment

Joysanne Joysanne, You won't remember me, but I was a student of yours at NCSA in 1978-79. I certainly remember you! I'm so glad to see you're still involved in dance--you were such a wonderfully generous teacher who instilled in me a passion for Balanchine's choregraphy. Cheers, Ray Ricketts Link to comment

Alymer Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 The man on the extreme right of the picture - in the three-piece suit - might be Bill Como who was editor of Dancve Magazine in the 1970s. Link to comment

Cheers, Joysanne Joysanne, You've set your profile so as not to receive private messages, so I'll say hi back in this public forum, and answer yes and no to your question about dance. I'm not dancing, but doing scholarship in literature that includes dance. Glad to hear you're staging works for the Trust! Do you keep a blog about your experiences? If not, I wish you'd consider it--the work of ballet reconstructors needs to be narrated and documented, especially by smart and dynamic voices like yours. Link to comment
