If you’ve read this month’s article about dancer Vaslav Nijinsky, you might recognize this passage:“There are no videos of Vaslav Nijinsky dancing. Known as one of the best dancers to ever live, the lack of footage was a choice made, as video recording equipment at the time was jerky and the quality could not be guaranteed. His dancing is conveyed mostly from memory, people telling of the times he flew on stage, the riots over his movement, a word often used is angular. There are photos of him posing, both in costume and out, and there is a certain charisma there.”To honour that, and highlight his talent in the best way possible, we’ve gathered a few photos of Nijinsky, mid-performance and posed.You can find these works and more in our gallery! -- source link
