Over the breakfast coffee one morning last week we
asked pappy why the Russian people made such a fuss over
Pianist Van Cliburn, and why the Americans in turn are
just raising the roof over the Russian dance troupe now
touring the U.S. Somehow, it doesn't seem that either one
can be THAT good. Pappy pondered and then ventured the
idea that maybe it's a sort of subconscious impulse maybe
the audiences and the critics are showing, without actually
realizing it how much they personally would like to be
friends with everyone and understand and enjoy thi people
of other countries, be they Russians, English or Laplanders.
A man named Cleveland Amory who writes for The
Saturday Review had asked and answered the same question,
and fortunately Potpourri picked up the issue half an hour
later. Mr. A. wrote that everything seemed to be real con
fused this spring. In supposedly hostile Moscow, an Ameri
can named Cliburn receives an incredibly friendly reception;
in supposedly neutral Lebanon and Algeria, American build
ings are burned; in supposedly Good Neighborly Latin
America, Vice President Richard Nixon is accorded " an
incredibly hostile reception and in this country the Moiseyev
dancers are given the greatest reception ever accorded
visitors from the supreme Soviet. Mr. Amory noted that
the Russians were really paid the supreme American honor
"we asked-them back again to Madison Square Garden
and the Ed Sullivan Show." (According to William Ewald
of UPI, Sullivan has pulled off the cultural coup of the TV
season and has signed the Moiseyev company for his June
29 show and will devote the entire hour to the troupe.)
But to return to Mr, Amory's survey, of recent incidents
he points out that at almost the same spot where in
Caracas, Venezuela, Mr. Nixon and his wife were treated to
so much hostility, Leonard Bernstein, American musician
and conductor, was wildly cheered. Mr. and Mrs. Louis
Armstrong were also wildly cheered in the same city.
In New York City the audiences yelled and cheered
and waved to the Russians on stage, and they yelled and
cheered and waved right back. But on some days it requires
as many as 18 policemen to guard the Russian consulate.
So Mr. Amory comes up with this conclusion "Obviously
there is the world over an intense desire to communicate,
but and this is now equally obvious this communication
must be as far as possible from the Governmental level . . .
All in all, we need, it seems, more Marian Andersons and
Leonard Bernsteins and Van Cliburns and Louis Armstrongs
and Bobby Fischers and American Ballet Theaters, and less
governments and politicians and Marines, and 101st Air-
bornes." .
Well, at least one member of the Moiseyev company
thinks much the same way, and told his thoughts to a former
Medford Mail Tribune reporter who went to San Francisco
last week to see the troupe. Here is what Frances Bulkin
jotted down after seeing the Russians perform, and talking
with some of them:
"I do not feel I can do justice to the Moiseyev company,
but I will try. First . of all, their basic training showed
through, then their 'drilling, their precision, their effects of
formation, their costuming, and not least of all, the Russian
talent of showmanship.
"Their drilling must have been the most difficult of all
for them it must have been quite militaristic. It -was no
ordinary .chorus line work. First of all their work included
both female and male dancers and .though our lines hold
good formation, they are of short duration compared to
the vigorous work these people did. There was so much
more to it than just holding lines so much foot work, so
many formations, so many effects.
"Of course, it all -wis impressionistic. They made no
pretenses of keeping entirely to just folk dancing, and yet
it was. - ,
"The sweat, the toil it took on each individual's . part,
to give such finished productions I cannot imagine. Their
costuming was imaginative, bright, modern, but held to
each type or each province they represented.
remaps xne most intriguing dance was 'Partisan. (It
denotes the struggle against the Nazis in the region of the
Northern Caucasus.) It was most dumbfoundine. Thev all
wore huge bat-like capes which appeared to be made of
Astrakhan, black, and all you could see in the dark light
were these unusual looking figures flashing around as if
they were electrically motivated at a high rate of speed
they kept going it was as if they were on motor scooters.
'The audience seemed absolutely struck trying to fig
ure out the thing. Until then there had been forms of appre
ciationsuddenly everything was dead quiet the staging
was most effective.
"Through the entire production the audience was most
responsive there was applause, calling, bravoes and so on
at the close there was a rising acclaim. They took curtain
eall after curtain call. Before the intermission and at the
close, the company waved to the audience, and we waved
back.
"Afterward we waited with many, many others at the
stage door and engaged some in brief conversations. They
looked so very much like everyone else that it was not easy
to pick V them out. Necessarily, they were polite, like other
entertainers of their caliber, but you could understand,
as with other entertainers, they were tired, through with
their work and wanted really to go on. We knew they were
staying at the Whitcomb, so we went there.
"Among others, we talked to Yasha Fyodorov, a musician
of the orchestra. He was very dark and looked quite young,
though he said he was 40. He spoke English well, and
seemed genial and not at all bothered about time. This
was nearly 6 p.m. and they had to perform again that night.
"I said, I know you mostly rehearse, perform, eat, sleep
and travel, and you have the acclaim of your audiences
have you had other contacts with our country? He answered
no, and added that there is little time. I asked him about
the man on the street if ever the troupe had any difficulty
in reception. He said they had had no difficulty. He real
ized, however, they were reaching only the cultural level,
and said 'we do not want to know just what is in the middle,
to the left or to the right, but what everyone thinks.'
"I said,, the whole thing seems a little ridiculous there
is the iron curtain, yet youwave at us, and we wave at you.
I pointed out that at first we were not friends during
the Finnish incident, and then World War II came and we
were friends during the German push, and next we are
not friends again. The musician answered 'that is only
politicians' and added 'we have come here to show we do
not have horns' and gestured both hands to his temples!
I hope he is right frankly I am tired of being juggled.
Anyhow, vive le danse?" O.S.
