Farrell/Mofid in Faun

[Simon G]

Hey pop pickers,

I found a very interesting film of Suzanne Farrell and Afshin Mofid from 1984 in Robbins Afternoon of a Faun with NYCB, that I though you might all enjoy.

I was very interested to find this dancer Afshin Mofid, an Iranian who's pretty much completely unknown to me, but I'm sure many of the longtime NYCB goers will have heard of him or seen him dance.

For those novices like me, I discovered this recent interview with him he now is a chiropractor in Boise Idaho, after giving up dance very early one.

Hope you like it.

There was a discussion on this video last fall on this thread, which didn't include Mofid's name. I've changed the original thread title to include his name. The link to the interview is on the second page of the thread.
