Dracula ballet, the Latvian National Opera and Ballet (source).
My friend and I saw it yesterday! It is based on the 1992 Francis Ford Coppola movie, with some additional alterations (such as not moving the action back to Transylvania in the last part of the plot and expanding the role of the woman whose baby was eaten by the Brides; also, no Quincey yet again, which is always a pity), and, while I am not a fan of that movie, I found this production quite lovely. I especially liked how the dancers playing vampires moved in a slightly different way from those playing humans, with some crawling quality to them, and how Renfield had a pretty big part, with his remorse when he realizes that Dracula wants to turn Mina shown very clearly.
#talk talk talk#gella talks dracula#dracula#bram stoker#land of many mothers#dracula ballet#i'm glad i saw it#wasn't sure if if want to or not bc as i've already said i'm not a fan of this particular movie adaptation#but my friend wanted to see it and so we went

After taking some ballet lessons in Paris, he started performing with his Latvian wife Zinaida, a dancer. Their act was a mixture of ballet, folklore dance and European tango, which was so popular it led to tours to Egypt, Persia, Turkey, Germany and Britain. It was at Riga, when he improvised gypsy and tango singing to make up for the absence of his pregnant wife, that he discovered he could sing in front of an audience. In 1935 he was at the peak of his success. Though he still included old Russian romances, and even Soviet songs (like Serdtse, the Argentine Tango song that would outlive him and which was originally sung by Leonid Utyosov in a different version as Kak mnogo devushek horoshih) in his repertoire, songs were now composed for him exclusively (with the tango songs turning Argentine in style and arrangement). One of his favourite non-Russian composers was Jerzy Petersburski, but he also sung work composed by Pavel German, Konstantin Podrevsky and Isaak Dunayevsky. Composers specifically composing certain songs for him were Oscar Strok, Mark Maryankovsky and Yefim Sklyarov. Many lyrics of Leshchenko songs were written by Boris Fomin.

Dancer Tatjana Barbakoff photographed in 1926. Nini and Cary Hess.
Tatjana Barbakoff was a Jewish-Chinese-Latvian dancer of the 20th century, particularly known for her work in the Ausdruckstanz/Expressive Dance movement, her time as a student of Diaghilev ballerina Catherine Devilliers, and her presence in the theaters of Weimar Germany.
Born Cilly Edelberg in Libau (Liepaja) Latvia on August 15, 1899, Barbakoff was the daughter of a mother of Chinese descent and a Russian-Jewish father, who saw to it that she was educated in ballet and Chinese classical dance. As a teenager, she moved to glittering Weimar Berlin, where she became a fixture in the literary cabarets and private theaters of the city. In theaters such as the famous Schall und Rauch, she honed a particular form of Ausdruckstanz, the politically inflected expressionist dance movement style, inspired by classical ballet and Chinese dance, as well as Russian folk traditions. She became noted within avant garde circles and toured her own solo shows across Germany, connecting with visual artists such as Otto Pankok and Gert Heinrich Wollheim as colleague and muse.
She resumed ballet training with Diaghilev dancer Catherine Devilliers by 1927, around the time she began to dance with the private theater San Materno, run by the Jewish dancer Charlotte Bara. It is during this period that Barbakoff’s fame reached its peak, and her image was distributed in more popular venues than German artistic society -- she found many spots in the highly popular photo-albums distributed by cigarette manufacturers of the time.
Her success was not to last, and in 1933 she was forced to flee Germany in response to the rising tide of Nazism. Initially, she found great success in Paris, but she was captured as a result of the Vichy capitulation to the Nazis in 1940, detained, escaped and went into hiding, and was arrested again in Nice in 1944. The Nazis murdered her at Auschwitz in February of that year. She was 45.
Curator Guenter Goebbels of the Verborgene, or Hidden, Museum in Berlin, which “deals exclusively and programmatically with the public presentation and scholarly evaluation of the life's work of female artists who – for whatever reason – have been all but forgotten,” is largely to credit for the preservation of this pioneering dancer’s legacy. Over the course of 20 years, Goebbels tracked down images, sculptures, and texts about Barbakoff, culminating in a 2005 exhibition. Furthermore, her colleague Julia Tardy-Marcus established the Tatjana Barbakoff Dance Award in 1986, and noted German choreographer and dancer Oxana Chi was inspired by her to create the filmed dance piece/documentary/autoethnography Dancing Through Gardens.

for my own reference, here is a quick, Comprehensive Liste of morgawse’s biggest Pursuits and interests, in sort-of order.
dancing. morgawse picked up ballet when she was six, and has been classically trained in ballet for centuries. she is more of a ~Contemporary~ ballet dancer now, but ballet is her First Luv and best skill.
music. morgawse sings and plays acoustic guitar, having started with a lute at the age of ten and writing her own songs from the age of eleven or twelve.
papercutting. morgawse learnt papercut art from her mother, who was i believe latvian, when she was about eleven. her mother started her on smaller papercuts that she traced for her daughter to cut out, and morgawse took to it right away and quickly spent hours jus. Shredding Paper into flowers and birds and shite.
costuming. morgawse Discovered she had an aptitude for costuming when she was a teenager, and uh. when she wasn’t playing her lute or papercutting, she was making her own gowns. or armour. or tapestries. she designs or even handmakes a lot of between two lungs’ costumes for their shows. she took a long break from it in about 2015ish, but has returned to it recently. surprise! gal still luvs to sew.
figure skating. she learnt to ice skate when she emigrated to america from scotland, in order to cross-train to be a better ballet dancer.
~Fringe Skills~ morgawse has, but are more like hobbies or skills she doesn’t really Employ till she has to:
sketching and drawing, which she usually uses to sketch out papercuts or costume designs.
gardening. given, being a dryad.
mixing / producing. she knows how to self-produce an album, Broadly Speaking, but she’d much rather have A Producer and focus on Making Music instead.
as of late, meal prep, journalling and planning / bullet journalling. these things appeal to her papercut artist Assembling Many Parts To Make A Neue Whole brain. also She Just Thinks They’re Neat.

2017-06-25 Ballerina Felicie and Victor, color by SteveBecke
“Here is my latest drawing of the wonderful animation motion picture movie 'Ballerina (Leap!)' after a publicity pic showing Felicie Lebras & Victor.
Interesting is, that for her surname exist at least 3 versions: 'Le Bras' on the french Wikipedia page oft he film, 'Lebraz' in the french books and 'Lebras' written together without the letter 'z', too.
Nevertheless she is the most sweet and beautiful animated ballet dancer in film history and made me really watch this movie in cinema 25 times(!) and buy and download it in more than 6 languages, of course also in my beloved latvian. The combination of animation, lanscape, emotion and music is really unique and in very many opinions the german synchronization is considered as the best one, because Felicie’s voice goes optimally together with her age.”

Arrivals & Departures - 27 January 1948
Celebrate Mikhail Nikolayevich Baryshnikov Day!
Mikhail Nikolayevich Baryshnikov (Russian: Михаи́л Никола́евич Бары́шников, IPA: [mʲɪxɐˈil bɐrɨʂˈnʲɪkəf]; Latvian: Mihails Barišņikovs; born 27 January 1948), nicknamed "Misha" (Russian diminutive of the name "Mikhail"), is a Latvian SSR born Russian and American dancer, choreographer, and actor. He is often cited alongside Vaslav Nijinsky, Rudolf Nureyev and Vladimir Vasiliev as one of the greatest male ballet dancers in history.
Born in Riga, Latvian SSR, Baryshnikov had a promising start in the Kirov Ballet in Leningrad before defecting to Canada in 1974 for more opportunities in western dance. After dancing with American Ballet Theater, he joined the New York City Ballet as a principal dancer for one season to learn George Balanchine's neo classical Russian style of movement. He then returned with the American Ballet Theatre, where he later became artistic director. Baryshnikov has spearheaded many of his own artistic projects and has been associated in particular with promoting modern dance, premiering dozens of new works, including many of his own. His success as a dramatic actor on stage, cinema and television has helped him become probably the most widely recognized contemporary ballet dancer. Since his defection from the Soviet Union in 1974, Baryshnikov has never returned to Russia.
In 1977, he received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor and a Golden Globe nomination for his work as "Yuri Kopeikine" in the film The Turning Point. He starred in the movie White Nights with Gregory Hines, Helen Mirren, and Isabella Rossellini, and had a significant role in the last season of the television series Sex and the City.
