“Technique is what you fall back on when you run out of inspiration.”
The great Russian ballet dancer Rudolph Nureyev died on this day in 1993 at the age of 54. Nureyev, one of the most iconic dancers of the twentieth century, had it all: beauty, genius, charm, passion, and sex appeal. No other dancer of our time has generated the same excitement on or off the stage. In this biography, Julia Kavanagh brings us through the professional and personal milestones of Nureyev’s life and career.
