This first lecture explores Vaslav Nijinsky’s profound impact on Diaghilev’s vision and outputs, first as a dancer in works by Fokine and then as a groundbreaking choreographer as well as performer.
The second lecture focuses on Misia Sert, the “Pink Muse of the Ballets Russes.” The audience will explore her relationship with Diaghilev and her contributions — creative as well as financial — to his productions.
This lecture is part of Anne Hogan’s series, The Muse in Ballet.
