Anna Pavlova - 'Californian Poppy'
Anna Pavlova dancing in 'Californian Poppy' sometime in the 1920's.
The costume very literally realizes the name of the ballet in its 'petals'.

Welcome
I want to share some photos and clips of dance things that have meant something to me. I have studied ballet part-time, principally at the Australian Dance Theatre and The Dance Centre, Sydney. Later, living in Europe for a number years, I watched a wide variety of dance companies and performers. I would like to put things here about some of the performances I was lucky enough to experience, and some of the extraordinary people I have met, some of whom were influential on this art form.
Tamara Karsavina and Vaslav Nijinsky
