Mme. Hermine Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Very short, silent and not beautifully filmed but interesting nonetheless; from the Ruth Page archive that is slowly being put on line; remember that it will not play with Explorer but works with Firefox or Chrome. Don't know how to embed this but link is here - http://www.chicagofilmarchives.org/collections/index.php/Detail/Object/Show/object_id/8650 Link to comment
Mme. Hermine Posted May 31, 2014 Author Share Posted May 31, 2014 I believe he enters about half way through the film. Link to comment
sandik Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Thanks for the link. I'm both thrilled and overwhelmed at the dance video that is coming online all over the place. As a pirate queen, I applaud everyone who collected and kept these films, and the people who are working hard to make it accessible to us now! Link to comment
diane Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 This was wonderful! I am fascinated by the apparent abandonment with which many of these older productions were danced. Have we lost something somewhere along the way? Are we/dancers/choreographers so obsessed with correct and clean technique that some of this ecstatic power is lost? -d- Link to comment
Mme. Hermine Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 According to what I can find it appears that these performances in October 1962 were Nureyev's US stage debut. No; it was with that company but in March 1962 at the Brooklyn Academy. My bad. Link to comment
