- Abstract
- The Marilyn La Vine Collection of Rudolf Nureyev Materials is a comprehensive collection of programs, photographs, periodicals, newspaper clippings, publicity materials, publications, and scrapbooks that document Nureyev's professional career as an internationally acclaimed dancer, actor, company director, and choreographer. The materials were organized by long-time Nureyev fan, Marilyn La Vine, who also contributed a chronology and biographical essay. The collection documents Nureyev's performances and productions in numerous programs and souvenir programs, which provide details on the collaborators, including Frederick Ashton, Erik Bruhn, Natalia Markarova, and Mikhail Baryshnikov. The photographs also document his associations with ballerina and long-time partner, Margot Fonteyn and his appearances with the Martha Graham Dance Company.
The collection also includes programs and articles unrelated to Nureyev, but corresponding to other key figures in the dance world. The newspaper clippings series in particular contains a plethora of critiques, reviews, and interviews on various choreographers and dancers, including Gelsey Kirkland, Mikhail Baryshnikov, George Balanchine, Patrick Dupond, Cynthia Harvey, Suzanne Farrell, and Peter Martins. - Contents Note
