I'm a semi-retired academic at a Sydney university, lecturing on a Masters Program in the field of Semiotic Theory.
I'm seriously travel addicted, having lived in or journeyed extensively through Europe, the Middle East and Asia. I've been to such diverse and far-flung places as Inner Mongolia, Nepal, Kashmir, Egypt, Turkey, Israel, Iran, Russia and Japan.
My interests include writing short stories, horse-riding, abseiling, swimming, theatre, opera and dance.
In my first life, long ago and far away, I studied dance at the Australian Dance Theatre with, among others, Rex Reid, an ex-Ballet Rambert principal and sometime partner of Moira Shearer.

Alicia Markova - ‘This is Your Life’ (1960) With Margot Fonteyn and Jessie Matthews
zhlédnutí 462Před 4 měsíci
In the first section, Fonteyn graciously recalls, at thirteen years old, seeing Markova and recognising her the ideal of a ballerina and the impossibility of achieving such an ideal. In the second section, there seems some tension between the two stars: when Markova is asked if she recalls at aged ten who she appeared with in Dick Whittington as Salome, she replies “My understudy?” And when Mat...

It’s extraordinary to see Fonteyn late in her career dance in this famous Mikhail Fokine work, made such by Tamara Karsavina and Vaslav Nijinsky. At this time, she also danced The Ballerina role in ‘Petrushka’, again with Baryshnikov - footage of which I have also posted on CZcams.

This is performance and rehearsal footage - I do not have a date for these films - probably late 1970s early 1980s? Can anyone confirm? The rehearsal footage is conducted by Michael Somes.

Восторг!!! Какая трогательность, одухотворенность в этом дуэте! Браво!
There are story if true that Maria Rasputin preserved her father toy and put glass ? ✅
I saw internet many years ago it was preserved in a glass I don’t know if Maria preserved it
Really wonderful - I could watch it again and again. Fantastic dancers.
Just the Russian dancers can fly when they jump
Великолепная, незабываемая Ева Евдокимова! Грациозная, невесомая, романтичная, одухотворенная! Браво!❤
Много комичного и смешного Сейчас такое не смотрели бы
The sound is so muffled.
I have a Master's in psychology and can tell you that schizophrenia is more common in men than women, and comes on in their early 20s. Vaslav was 24 when it hit him. That age is pretty typical. A real shame! I don't think there were decent medications for the disease back then, so he didn't really get any treatment. Nowadays, there are medications that can allow a the sufferer to lead a pretty normal life.
Yuri (George) was my grandmother's cousin. He was the sweetest man and always made me laugh! When we would visit him in Arizona he would make me a special pb&j sandwich when he made borscht because he knew I didn't like it! I loved hearing him and my grandma tell stories of their childhoods in Kaunas. I just knew him as cousin Yuri, I didn't know his ballet legacy until I was older. It's wonderful to see how he was so loved.
! Разве это Вальс?! Гимнастические упражнения.😅
Kirkland was coked up. Watch Cynthia Gregory.
Those backward falls at 2:14 and 2:22 were impressive; they were so low, her head was just inches from the floor! Lovely video.

She was AMAZING
Впервые вижу Павлову в лебедином озере. Когда она была моложе, были другие спектакли, видимо она согласилась гораздо позже на эту роль. Или я ошибаюсь? Но я люблю её творчество безмерно!
A votre avis d'où vient l'électro swing ? Quelle belle artiste et femme ❤
mental illness at its best; only analfabestias will call this "dancing"
A great deal of work in this beautiful ballet. Fabulous ❤

Надежда Павловп - самая совершенная балерина. Никогда ни одного лишнего движения, музыкальность, фарфоровые ступни, мягкие руки. Но и Гордеев прекрасен. Его сейчас принято хулить. Но он мощный и прекрасный танцор. Он надëжный партнëр в танце. Остальное даже не надо обсуждать. Мы не знаем и нас это не касается.
Спасибо огромное Ленфильму за сохранность культурного достояния могучего русского народа! Это шедевр, не сравнимый с театральной постановкой, всё так ярко, объёмно, красочно! А крупный план восхитителен! Браво!
Wow! Two of the very best!
The bluebird is a symbol of happiness, and these two certainly deliver!
ЗОЛУШКА(1899).
I'm a little sad - I just think that these wonderful dancers are no longer with us, I image. If the chorus's was around 25 at the time of filming (1960), then they would be around their late 80s now.
Потрясающе играет оркестр!!! Нынешние ни музыканты, ни гергиевы не идут ни в какое сравнение.
I think the callas wobble in this later version (mid 60s?) is musically unacceptable, it's really a bad sound and barely in pitch, it's tragic. I love her in earlier recordings, and she is a better musician than Renata. I also think puccini soprano roles do not benefit from an acting voice so much as bel canto, as the music already has the drama encoded in it. I wouldn't want to hear teblaldi in norma or polliuto or even Lucia , but she is defo the best in this role for me. No acting required, just glorious tone, same for Mimi, Manon L and Minnie, I don't think callas can touch her tbh in these roles although Callas is overall my preferred artist.
She was 30 here but her legs are as sweet as a young girl’s. Her artistry just keeps on giving joy. 💖

Incredibly beautiful. The pace is perfection. 🌷🌷🌷
I am thoroughly revisiting your channel this Summer. Cheers 🌹
You can see where Michael Jackson got most of his moves from!
What is the name of those music??🙏🙏🙏
I can see now how Rudolf Nureyev recreated some of this staging for his production of The Sleeping Beauty for the National Ballet of Canada in 1972. And this is the first time I've ever seen Carabosse dance on pointe!
thank you so much for posting - i read suzanne farrell’s memoir years ago but had to take her at her word that she was talented. i see now why she was a balanchine muse, she dances like flowing water and has such long limbs!!
Ahí está el más grande ser humano de la danza clásica en Cuba el Marstro de Marstros Alberto Alonso Rainieri. Es entre otros momentos el que es alzado ; vean la limpieza física del rol femenino sin amameramientos pero captable para una mujer .
He really was one of the best ever to do ballet--the Russians usually are. He had a panther-like prowess as he dominated the stage. Like he was lighter than air and would still crush anything in his path. Baryshnikov was a legend for a reason---but the one thing he did I thought was really wrong was firing Godunov after he took over at A.B.T. Ballet itself lost something. And Alex himself said, "Nobody prepared me... it smells like Russia".
Beatifull? No no no. She was just famous for what she was.
