Words
will not give justice to Rudolf Nureyev and his contributions and influence in
the world of ballerina in the 20th century.
Rudolf
Nureyev was known for his artistic and genuine passion for dancing. His
expressive performances and dances made him one of the most respectable dancers
in his time. With his relentless efforts to illustrate his intense desire to
advance the role of male ballet dancers, he received the recognition and the
opportunity that male ballet dancers are now enjoying.
Why Rudolf Nureyev is Highly Celebrated
There
are many reasons why he has gained such stature. Even in the beginning, Rudolf
Nureyev was a non-conformist. He was a sensation figure in the world of
dancing. This is because he had intensified ambitions to cross boundaries even
if it means breaking the rules. He was impatient and he didn’t mind bypassing
hierarchical order due to his hot temper especially when such issues were
interfering in his work as a dancer. But still, for his equally famous partners
in the name of Annette Page, Gelsey Kirkland, and Antoinette Sibley, he was
exactly the partner they needed.
His
passion in pursuing his dreams and his desires are reflected on the way he
danced and the way he dominated the spotlight was simply striking. His career
as a dancer even flourished when he was appointed the Principal Dancer of the
Royal Ballet, a prominent and influential classical ballet company in England.
His career soared and he even conquered film and television.
His Interest in Dancing Never Faded
Even
when he was suffering from health problems, Rudolf Nureyev continued to fulfill
his dancing dreams. He loved the idea of learning modern dances and he even got
the chance to perform with the renowned Martha Graham. His energy seemed to never
run out and his motivation was up to the sky particularly when it comes to
pursuing more dancing roles.
His
life and works are always highlighted in many events that aim to credit and
honor world dancers that
have given their entire life in discovering and recognizing their talents and
the talents of the people around them.
Millions
of supporters, fans, fellow dancers in the industry he had loved so dearly, and
important people paid their tributes when he died due to cardiac complication.
His death even paved the way to the restoration of his already tarnished
reputation in Kirov Ballet history. In
fact, his personal belongings were even reinstated and displayed at St.
Petersburg museum. It was a clear indication that Kirov had accepted him
despite of the initial and painful rejections and denials he got when he was
alive and active in pursuing his dancing goals and his career.
Even
after his death, Rudolf Nureyev had the power to influence other male ballet
dancers—he was the originator and the influencer, and he was gone. However, in
the sphere of “classical ballet” Rudolf Nureyev’s contributions will forever
linger. The immense steps he had taken with the goal of receiving acceptance of
modern dance really paid off. Whatever happens and whoever attempts to take his
position, he will always be the King of all ballet dancers in the entire
history of art.
