you are so lucky! I would love to meet her ... I saw her speak briefly when NYCB was in Chicago last year - and you're right, she is still very "beautiful, elegant, articulate & sophisticated".
Do you know if there are going to be other screenings?

I just got to meet Miss Tallchief & her daughter, poet Elise Paschen, yesterday at a Chicago screening of the Sandy Osawa PBS documentary, "Maria Tallchief."
At 83 years, Miss Tallchief is still beautiful, elegant, articulate & sophisticated.
The filmmaker is looking for funding to expand the 57 minute movie to a theatrical length. She would then be able to extend the dance sequences. Osawa said there are a lot of politics & expense involved with owners of Tallchief film clips.

Is there absolutely NO video footage anywhere of this angel performing Firebird?!
If so, that has to be the saddest tragedy of our dance history - not just for America, but for the world of dance, period....Maria Tallchief - a GENIUS unparalleled.
Oklahoma is grateful to have you and your sister ballerinas. TIMELESS.

WOw, that' s the most poetic footage I've ever seen of Tallchief -- BEAUTIFUL back leg in arabesque, especially hte foot, wonderful stillness, and such musicality. The man's costume, redhotpinktwink, is the same that Nijinsky wore when he originated the role. Fernandez dances it very poeticdally; the designs are by the great Alexandre benois

Although her sister Marjorie was a prima ballerina in her own right... to me, no one compares to Maria Tallchief in beauty, technique, passion and pefection.
God bless her, and her sister ballerinas...Oklahoma's own Five: Maria and Marjorie Tallchief, Yvonne Chouteau, Rosella Hightower, and Moscelyne Larkin. They shaped the face of dance, and changed it forever.
