Russian folk choreographer Moiseyev buried in Moscow

MOSCOW (AFP) — Igor Moiseyev, a legendary Russian choreographer who fused ballet with folk dance, was buried Wednesday in Moscow’s most celebrated cemetery.

A funeral for Moiseyev, who died November 2 at the age of 101, was held at the Christ the Saviour cathedral in the centre of the Russian capital. The culture minister, Alexander Sokolov, and others from Russia’s arts scene, attended, RIA Novosti news agency reported.

Moiseyev was then buried at the Novodevichye cemetery, which is the last resting place for dozens of famous Russian and Soviet figures, including former Russian president Boris Yeltsin who died in April.

Described as a “genius and an innovator” by the New York Times on his 100th birthday, Moiseyev died of heart failure.

He was born in Kiev on January 21, 1906, and formed the “Moiseyev Ballet” in Moscow at the height of Stalin’s purges after several years dancing for the Bolshoi Ballet.

His idea of forming a school to focus on the dances of different ethnic groups in the Soviet Union received the personal approval of Soviet prime minister Vyacheslav Molotov.

Moiseyev travelled across the Soviet Union, from the Caucasus to the Ural Mountains, collecting material for his repertoire.

A disciple of the avant-garde choreographer Kasyan Goleizovsky, Moiseyev transformed the dances, infusing them with classical ballet techniques.

Имен ден на Мария Дражева, основател на folkXplorer/BFMDA/bULTIMA

Ден на Варна: Отбелязва се на църковния празник Успение на Пресвета Богородица от 1993 г. с решение на градската управа.

Както всяка година, и тази Кметът на Варна г-н Кирил Йорданов покани Мария Дражева да участва в търежствата в чест на Деня на Варна. 

Счита се, че празникът “Успение на Пресветата Богородица” е установен от Апостолите. Разказите за чудесното възнасяне в плът на Божията Майка на небето се отнасят към IV век; за него споменават блаж. Августин и Йероним, а Иерусалимският патриарх Ювеналий (420-458) утвърждава пред император Маркиан достоверността на тези разкази. Денят на празнуване на успение е установен от император Маврикий (592-602). Блажената кончина на Света Богородица е прославена в каноните на св. Козма Майумски и св. Йоан Дамаскин. От далечни времена празникът се предшества от пост, който съединява в себе си два древни поста: някога едни християни са постили преди празника Преображение Господне, а други – преди Успение на Пресветата Богородица. Константинополският събор, свикан през XII век, по времето на патриарх Лука, определя, всички християни да спазват Успенски пост – от първи до петнадесети август. Празникът продължава девет дни; неговото отдаяние се извършва на 23 август.

IT’S A hot, humid afternoon in West London, and

is reminiscing. Every available shelf and wall space in her living room is covered with theatrical memorabilia, each one with a story attached. Suddenly, the clouds unleash a torrent of rain and Payne-Myers jumps to her feet. “My washing,” she cries, climbing on to a table and leaping out of the window, on to a small roof terrace. Moments later she reappears, clutching an armful of laundry, and hops nimbly back into the room. None of which would be remotely exceptional, but for the fact that Payne-Myers will be 80 next March.

There aren’t many octogenarians who can boast the agility of a cat – but then Payne-Myers is unique in many ways. As a dancer and actress, she has had a career spanning 60 years, and it’s not over yet. About to make her Edinburgh Fringe debut in Muscular Memory Lane, a duet with choreographer, Matthew Hawkins, Payne-Myers has scant regard for the word “retirement”. “People assume I’ve retired,” she says. “But once a dancer, always a dancer. Just like a painter or singer, you’ll always paint or sing and keep creating.”

As she runs through her mental book of memories, peppering each chapter with vivid images, it’s clear that Payne-Myers has led an extraordinary life. Born in Darlington in 1928 to Scottish parents (a surgeon father from Stornoway and teacher mother from Ayrshire) Payne-Myers started dancing aged six. “My ballet teacher would give lessons to the young Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret during the week, then teach us at the weekend,” she recalls. “I remember being quite proud of that.”
