Yurek Lazowski and me

Great memories / great times.  From the archives of the Royale Dance Theatre - Seminars held with guest artist Yurek Lazowski, star of the  Ballet Russe.  Yurek told me many stories about his tour with the Ballet and incidents with the famous artists who painted for the touring Diaghilev company.  Bottom right photo is Debra Evans, fourth from the left.  Top right is former student of Bernadine de Mike,, prima ballerina Michelle Lucci in a typical fun moment.  Yurek was a charming, yet meticulous choreographer. Yurek performed as the leading soloist in Stravinski's  opening of "Histoire du Soldat"  In Boston Massachussetts.  I won't repeat what happened at that event!!!
