Balanchine and the Lost Muse: Revolution and the Making of a Choreographer
Kendall, Elizabeth (Associate Professor of Literary Studies, Associate Professor of Literary Studies, The New School, New York, NY)
Here is the first dual biography of the early lives of two key figures in Russian ballet: famed choreographer George Balanchine and his close childhood friend, extraordinary ballerina Lidia (Lidochka) Ivanova. A talented and bold dancer who grew close to the Bolshevik elite in her adolescent years, Ivanova was a source of great inspiration to Balanchine-both during their youth together, and later in his life, after her mysterious death in 1924, just days before theyhad planned to leave Russia together.
