An Autobiography 2011-05-21T02:00:10.850Z Ah yes, Mr Bell, but in which direction should Nijinsky be galloping? Claims Five: Most memorable lines from 2010 2010-12-10T10:00:00Z Saturday's Dewhurst Stakes really is shaping up to be one of the best renewals ever, reminiscent of the races won by the likes of Mill Reef, Nijinsky and The Minstrel in the 1970s. Talking Horses: The latest news and best bets in our daily horse racing blog, plus our weekly tipping competition 2010-10-11T11:04:00Z British racing has had 15 Triple Crown champions; Nijinsky was the last to sweep the three races in 1970. Zast: No Triple Crown since 1978? Don?t stress 2010-04-26T14:41:00Z We may pass over the Russian ballet, too, because of the art which often raised it to beauty, though it is interesting to speculate what St Bernard would have thought of Nijinsky. The Book of This and That I shall have further occasion to speak of Nijinsky when describing the part he took in my other ballets, either as dancer or choreographer. An Autobiography 2011-05-21T02:00:10.850Z I can say for myself that I was probably a good deal more nervous than Nijinsky on the occasion of his first appearance in America. Interpreters She explained her work; outlined the theory of sensuous and esthetic dancing; mentioned the backgrounds of Bakst and the glories of Nijinsky; told her ambition to teach the New Dancing to children. The Trail of the Hawk A Comedy of the Seriousness of Life One Spanish dancer surrounded by Americans is just as much lost as the great Nijinsky himself was in an English music hall, where he made a complete and dismal failure. The Merry-Go-Round In the case of Nijinsky we see a man of immense brain power specialising in a most exhausting form of physical culture to remedy his extreme delicacy. Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 146, March 11, 1914 However that may be, his idea was to make Nijinsky compose, under his own strict supervision, a sort of antique tableau conjuring up the erotic gambols of a faun importuning nymphs. An Autobiography 2011-05-21T02:00:10.850Z Observe Gavrilow in the piece under discussion, in which he gives a good imitation of Nijinsky's general style, and you will see that he is unable to maintain this rhythmic continuity. Interpreters Those who witnessed the feat say that it eclipsed Nijinsky in his most elastic mood. Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 158, 1920-04-21 Caffarelli studied six years before he made his début as "the greatest singer in the world" but I imagine that Waslav Nijinsky studied ten before he set foot on the stage. The Merry-Go-Round On the other hand, and in view of the notorious adaptability of the Slavonic temperament, we can well imagine Nijinsky proving an admirable Lord Chancellor. Punch, or the London Charivari, Vol. 146, March 11, 1914 To be perfectly frank, I must say here and now that the idea of working with Nijinsky filled me with misgiving, notwithstanding our friendliness and my great admiration for his talent as dancer and mime. An Autobiography 2011-05-21T02:00:10.850Z Nijinsky was quite justified in altering the end of the work, which hangs the rogue-hero, into another practical joke. Interpreters I took steps in the direction of Nijinsky. Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 156, April 9, 1919 Bathing has now become a pleasure to all, except, perhaps, to Nijinsky, our Pole from Commercial Road, East. Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 156, March 12, 1919 One of the girls said last evening, "Mordkin is more exotic, but Nijinsky is more esoteric." Hermione's Group of Thinkers During the whole performance I was at Nijinsky's side in the wings. An Autobiography 2011-05-21T02:00:10.850Z Never did Nijinsky as the Negro Slave touch the Sultana, but his subtle and sensuous fingers fluttered close to her flesh, clinging once or twice questioningly to a depending tassel. Interpreters At eleven o'clock the General, supported by his Staff, rolled up in his car and stopped at Nijinsky's post on his way into "neutral" country. Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 156, April 9, 1919 The idea was to make a little ballet, in the style of the Russian Ballet of Pavlova and Nijinsky. Women in Love Nijinsky began by demanding such a fantastic number of rehearsals that it was physically impossible to give them to him. An Autobiography 2011-05-21T02:00:10.850Z I had to hold Nijinsky by his clothes, for he was furious, and ready to dash on to the stage at any moment and create a scandal. An Autobiography 2011-05-21T02:00:10.850Z While rehearsing the new work, Nijinsky twisted his ankle, and during the first week of the engagement he did not appear at all. Interpreters He unslung his rifle, brought it to the order, brought it to the slope and presented arms with great solemnity, and as only Nijinsky can. Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 156, April 9, 1919 It was all the more trying because Nijinsky complicated and encumbered his dances beyond all reason, thus creating difficulties for the dancers that were sometimes impossible to overcome. An Autobiography 2011-05-21T02:00:10.850Z It is true that I refrained at the time from telling Nijinsky what I thought of his efforts as a ballet master. An Autobiography 2011-05-21T02:00:10.850Z But what struck me then, and still strikes me most, about the choreography, was and is Nijinsky's lack of consciousness of what he was doing in creating it. An Autobiography 2011-05-21T02:00:10.850Z To be sure, during the tour which had followed the engagement at the Century the r�pertoire had been increased, but the company remained the same—until the coming of Waslav Nijinsky. Interpreters He did not know Nijinsky, you see; he had never seen him going sick before the battle, or heard him murmur "ser-something for ner-nothing," as he took his medicine. Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 156, April 9, 1919 I was at that time in great need, and in my ingenuousness even begged Nijinsky to make his own participation in the performances depend upon my engagement. An Autobiography 2011-05-21T02:00:10.850Z It is in this very part, perhaps, which requires almost unceasing exertion for nearly twelve minutes, that Nijinsky's powers of co-ordination, mental, imaginative, muscular, are best displayed. Interpreters But there again, although he had grasped the dramatic significance of the dance, Nijinsky was incapable of giving intelligible form to its essence, and complicated it either by clumsiness or lack of understanding. An Autobiography 2011-05-21T02:00:10.850Z Nijinsky had been extravagantly praised, not only by the official press representatives but also by eminent critics and private persons, in adjectives which seemed to preclude any possibility of his living up to them. Interpreters The word "General" recalled Nijinsky to his senses. Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 156, April 9, 1919 Nijinsky, in sooth, has now no rivals upon the stage. Interpreters After a summer in Spain and Switzerland, without Nijinsky, the Russian Ballet returned to America for a second season, opening at the Manhattan Opera House October 16, 1916. Interpreters Many choreographers have that fault, but I have never known any who erred in that respect to the same degree as Nijinsky. An Autobiography 2011-05-21T02:00:10.850Z Nijinsky danced for the first time in New York on the afternoon of April 12, at the Metropolitan Opera House. Interpreters With his eyes bulging with excitement Nijinsky leapt back and assumed the attitude of warlike defiance known as "coming on guard." Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 156, April 9, 1919 On the stage, Nijinsky makes of himself what he will. Interpreters But to the considerably more vivid Scheherazade of Nijinsky no exception was taken. Interpreters I had a visit shortly afterwards from Nijinsky and his wife, whom I had not met before. An Autobiography 2011-05-21T02:00:10.850Z And how few of us can view the art of Nijinsky without emotion! Interpreters The sun shone brightly on the car as it retired ignominiously, leaving Nijinsky hot, happy and victorious, presenting arms faithfully to the indignant Great Ones, and silence reigned on the battlefield. Punch, or the London Charivari, Volume 156, April 9, 1919 There is, indeed, the quality of a dream about the characters Nijinsky presents to us. Interpreters Having seen Nijinsky, I could not agree with him—and this indifferent observer became that evening himself a fervent disciple of the Ballet. Interpreters Greatly upset at having no news from America, the war having landed me in a situation of grave pecuniary difficulties, I asked Nijinsky, on reaching New York, to insist on my engagement being definitely settled. An Autobiography 2011-05-21T02:00:10.850Z For Nijinsky gave him, he found, just what his ideal performance of Shakespeare's play might have given him, a basis for dreams, for thinking, for poetry. Interpreters But it is a difficult matter to give the spirit of Nijinsky, to describe his art on paper, to capture the abundant grace, the measureless poetry, the infinite illusion of his captivating motion in ink. Interpreters As for Nijinsky, he, with his wife, had been a prisoner in an Austrian detention camp since the beginning of the war. Interpreters When America was first notified of the impending visit of the Russian Ballet it was also promised that Waslav Nijinsky and Tamara Karsavina would head the organization. Interpreters Diaghileff made up his mind that year that he would spare no effort to make a choreographer of Nijinsky. An Autobiography 2011-05-21T02:00:10.850Z I had called Nijinsky's dancing perfection in years gone by, because it so far surpassed that of his nearest rival; now he had surpassed himself. Interpreters Nijinsky's achievements become all the more remarkable when one remembers that he is working with an imperfect physical medium. Interpreters Mary Garden could not have seen Nijinsky in Scheherazade at this period, and yet the performances were astonishingly similar in intention. Interpreters But the Strauss music and the Wilde drama demand a more voluptuous and sensual treatment, it would seem to me, than the suggestion of monkey-love which absolutely suited Nijinsky's part.
