biography:
Rudolf Khametovich Nureyev (17 March 1938 – 6 January 1993) was a Tatar dancer from the former Soviet Union, considered one of the most celebrated ballet dancers of the 20th century. Nureyev's artistic skills explored expressive areas of the dance, providing a new role to the male ballet dancer who once served only as support to the women.

The Dame Edna Experience

overview:
The Dame Edna Experience is a British television comedy talk-show hosted by Dame Edna Everage. It ran for twelve regular episodes on ITV, plus two Christmas specials. The first seven aired for the first time in 1987, the next seven in 1989. It was directed by Ian Hamilton and Alasdair MacMillan and produced by London Weekend Television.

Regulars on the program, besides Dame Edna, were her "bridesmaid" Madge Allsop and Robin Houston who was the announcer, with orchestra conducted and arranged by Laurie Holloway.

Each program featured several celebrity guests, usually three, but some programs included up to eight guests. There would also be other invited "guests" like Kurt Waldheim and Imelda Marcos who once introduced at stage right would fall victim to a trap door or something similar and fail to make it to their chair.

The entire series was released on DVD by BBC Video in June 2004, and can now also be purchased as a complete set including the Christmas specials and the three An Audience with Dame Edna specials, plus other material.

The series was released for Region 2 by Network DVD in the UK in 2007, as a 4-disc set. For reasons unknown, the Region 2 release does not include the 1989 Christmas special "The Dame Edna Satellite Experience" that ended the second series and featured Ursula Andress, Yehudi Menuhin, and Robert Kilroy-Silk. It does, however, include the one-off 1990 Christmas special A Night On Mount Edna with guests Mel Gibson, Charlton Heston, Gina Lollobrigida and Julio Iglesias.

biography:
Rudolf Noureïevn (en russe: Рудольф Хаметович Нуреев, Roudolf Khametovitch Noureïev; en tatar: Рудольф Хәмит улы Нуриев; en bachkir: Рудольф Хәмит улы Нуриев) est un danseur classique, chorégraphe et directeur de ballet russe d'origine tatare né le 17 mars 1938 à Irkoutsk (Sibérie, Union soviétique) et mort le 6 janvier 1993 à Levallois-Perret (Hauts-de-Seine, France).

Doué d'une technique exemplaire, Rudolf Noureev est considéré comme l'un des plus grands danseurs classiques et l'un des plus grands chorégraphes de son temps et surnommé le «seigneur de la danse».

Rudolf Noureev fut l'un des meilleurs interprètes du répertoire classique, mais exprima aussi son talent dans la danse contemporaine et fut l'un des premiers danseurs à s'intéresser de nouveau au répertoire baroque. Sa notoriété, due non seulement à son talent mais aussi au déroulement extraordinaire de sa vie, dépassa le monde de la danse.

Il marqua l'histoire du ballet en formant deux couples mythiques: l'un avec Margot Fonteyn, sa partenaire au Royal Ballet. Ensemble, ils forment un des couples les plus «mythiques» de l'histoire du ballet; l'autre avec Sylvie Guillem du ballet de l'Opéra de Paris dans les années 1980. Selon Pierre Lacotte, sur scène «ces deux sont une personne». Rudolf Noureev et Sylvie Guillem ont encore dansé ensemble même après que Sylvie Guillem avait quitté le ballet de l'Opéra de Paris pour rejoindre le Royal Ballet et même lorsque Rudolf Noureev est devenu fragile en raison du stade avancé du sida qu'il avait contracté en 1984.

Rudolf Noureev fut directeur du Ballet de l'Opéra de Paris de 1983 à 1989, également maître de ballet et chorégraphe en chef jusqu'à 1992. En tant que chorégraphe, il revisita tous les grands ballets classiques, donnant une place très importante aux hommes jusqu'alors souvent cantonnés à n'être que les faire-valoir des ballerines, en introduisant des variations pour hommes, notamment pour le Lac des Cygnes.

Noureev a ainsi renouvelé tout le répertoire de Marius Petipa qui n'apparaissait pas à Paris jusque-là. Les années de Rudolf Noureev à l'Opéra de Paris sont considérées comme un «âge d'or» pour le ballet et ses chorégraphies y sont régulièrement reprises.

La famille Noureev est donc originaire d'Oufa. Elle est issue d'un milieu paysan bachkir et tatar de culture musulmane. Le grand-père de Rudolf Noureev avait pour nom de famille Fasli. Mais une erreur d'enregistrement à la mairie fit du patronyme «Noureev» le nom de famille. Khamet Noureev signifie littéralement «Khamet fils de Nour» signifiant «la lumière» en arabe.

Rudolf Noureev est le fils de Farida, née à Kazan, Tatarstan, et Khamet Noureev, né près d'Oufa, en Bachkirie. Il est le benjamin d'une fratrie après trois sœurs: l'aînée, Rosa, a dix ans de plus que lui, Lilia, cinq ans de plus, est sourde, et Razida, qui a trois ans de plus. ...

overview: From this "inexorable disease", Hervé Guibert did not recover. The miracle he had so much hoped for did not happen. But, before his death in 1991, three years after learning of his HIV-positive status, he engraved in his literary and photographic work "the places of [his] suffering", "the stations of [his] way of the cross". With his thin body and sunken cheeks, the handsome man with curly hair that he was, the one whose clear gaze radiated from the seaside photos, fought a fierce battle against AIDS. A fight of every moment against the decay of the body, observed and commented with a methodical care in his autobiographical novels, in particular "To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life" (1990) and "The Compassionate Protocol" (1991), and of which he testified on television on the set of "Apostrophes"...

title: Marius Petipa, le maître français du ballet russe

overview: When he arrives in Saint Petersburg, at the age of 29, Marius Petipa is just an obscure dancer who fled western Europe to escape his debts. He is far from imagining that his engagement in the troupe of the Russian Imperial Ballet, then rather mediocre, will reveal him, forty years later, as one of the greatest choreographers in the history of dance. It is within the Bolshoi Kamenny theaters, then Mariinsky, in a still provincial capital where three productions a year are enough to satisfy an undemanding audience, that this native of Marseille will invent a new art of ballet, over the course of sixty of creations, between 1862 (La fille du pharaon) and 1895 (Le lac des cygnes).
