With Sir Peter Wright turning ninety, it’s interesting to look back on his early career as a dancer and a teacher.
The first series of snippets of footage show Peter Wright as a dancer:
[1] Pas De Quatre (‘Steps of the Ballet’, 1948)
[2] Solo - Ballet? Last partner?
[3] Partnering Margot Fonteyn in ‘The Nutcracker’ (BBC 1958)
[4] Partnering Margot Fonteyn in the Rose Adagio (‘Sleeping Beauty’ BBC 1959) as the Indian Prince
This last section of footage shows Peter Wright as a teacher, working with a ballerina he particularly admired, Lynn Seymour, and talking about his experiences working with Rudolph Nureyev in the classroom.
In this film you get glimpses of Maryon Lane, Georgina Parkinson and Derek Rencher? Anyone else you recognise?
Enjoy!
