mdorottya Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I am a New York based independent producer from Hungary. Currently, I am working on a documentary on a Hungarian ballet dancer, choreographer, IVAN MARKO who was one of the principal dancers at Maurice Bejart's company Ballet of the XX. Century dancing with Jorge Donn, Judith Jamison, Suzanne Farrell, Andrej Ziemski, Angele Albrecht in the ’70 performing in America several times in "Petrouchka", "Le Spectre de la Rose" and "Teak" though he was most recognized in his role in the "Firebird and was elected amongst the 10 best ballet dancers by the American Critics. Since it was a while ago I have difficulties to find ORIGINAL articles, footages, photographs, brochures from that period. Obviously, I made a huge research at the Lincoln Center and I’ve just started to contact with magazines, critics, dancers and choreographers though I would appreciate any suggestions or help in advance since the original material I have access from the '70 is rather limited.

JCP Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 I danced in the company at that time for a short time and remember him well. He was a great dancer. Did you try and contact Bejart's company in Lausanne? Also, have you tried and contact the Mudra School in Brussels, I think the school continued after Bejart left Brussels. The opera in Brussels, of which the ballet of the 20th Century was a part, must have an archives, they should have copies of all the programs etc. Good luck in your search. Link to comment
