Creative Arts Television: Filmed and videotaped arts footage from 1950 to date.
In 1966 the Bulgarian spa of Varna, the “Miami Beach of the Black Sea” held the “Third International Ballet Competition”, at which extraordinary talent both known and new competed before an audience of tourists and critics. There were awards in several categories for dancing in classic as well as contemporary works. All eyes were on the gold medal for best young male soloist, which was won by the teenaged Mikhail Baryshnikov. In this film, hosted by Martine Van Hamel, principle dancer of the American Ballet Theater, we see excerpts from his winning performance, and also from the following: Martine Van Hamel in “Solitaire” (choreographed by Kenneth MacMillan); Marin Stefanescu in “Le Corsair”; Marta Dropnerova & Geromir Petric in “Legend of Love” (choreographed by Yuri Grigorovitch, director of the Bolshoi Ballet); Aurora Bosch of Alicia Alonzo’s Ballet Nacional de Cuba dances from “Coppelia”; Gariella Komleva in the “scarf dance” from “La Bayadere”; Baryshnikov and Olga Vtorushina in a duet from “Le Corsair”; and Nina Sorokina & Yuri Vladimiroff from the Bolshoi dancing the “blue bird pas de deux” from “Sleeping Beauty.” 1975. |
