Summary

1. Guests are ballerina Maya Plisetskaya and Helen V. Atlas, former publisher/editor of Dance News, who interprets for her. This interview is continued on: *MGZIC 9-3035 An encounter with Maya Plisetskaya, Part 2. Atlas, a longtime observer of the Russian scene, shares her first impressions of Plisetskaya's dancing. She and Plisetskaya discuss the contributions of Agrippina Vaganova in training Russian dancers, and Plisetskaya demonstrates the expressive use of arms and hands in works such as Béjart's Isadora, Swan lake, Fokin's The dying swan, and her own ballets The lady with a lapdog and The sea gull. She discusses the teaching of her uncle Asaf Messerer, her love of performing, and the complementary lessons of classroom and stage. In recorded commentaries, critics Shields Remine and David Vaughan describe Plisetskaya as a performer. The numerous dance excerpts, drawn from the films Plisetskaya dances (1964, b&w), Stars of the Russian ballet (1953), and Swan lake (filmed in 1957), depict Plisetskaya in The dying swan; as Zarema in The fountain of Bakhchisaray, with Galina Ulanova as Maria; as Odette/Odile in Swan lake, with Nikolai Fadeyechev as Siegfried; in Messerer's class; in Raymonda; in Romeo and Juliet; as Kitri in Don Quixote; and as a bacchante in Walpurgis night.
