Nini Theilade dances Bronislava Nijinska's choreography

More from the creative tributaries that flowed from Diaghilev. The beautiful Nini Theilade dances Bronislava Nijinska's choreography. Nini Thielade is featured in the Ballets Russes documentary. In the interview she discusses Markova, a bit mockingly but also lovingly, I think. She also discussed doing 'recitals' when she was in her early teens before she was asked to dance in the BR. In the BR documentary, you can see an excerpt of Thielade's dancing in this film as the fairy handmaiden of Titania. Her arms and hands, not mention her face, are exquisite.
