sandik Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 From the Guardian obituary "She also created the female role in Grand Pas Classique, a brilliant display piece choreographed by Tatjana’s husband, Victor Gsovsky, still popular today." I didn't really know this -- changes my idea about her dancing. (plus, I know that publications often have people write obits in advance, so that they can do the research thoughtfully, but this is one of the first times I've seen the writer die before the subject of the writing. Again, from the Guardian: Yvette Chauviré, ballerina, born 22 April 1917; died 19 October 2016 • Judith Cruickshank died in July 2016) Link to comment
Cygnet Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 This is an irretrievable loss. Rest in peace Mme. Chauviré. Link to comment
