Rest in peace, Igor Moiseyev

“Everything I’ve done, I love. If you’re not in love, you can’t create. And if you’re calm when you’ve created something, you can rest assured that you’ve created nothing.”
--Igor Moiseyev

Moiseyev, the father of Soviet concertized folk dance passed away a few days ago. He was a fascinating man, and created dances that both my mother and I took great pleasure in. Authenticity debates aside, he was an amazing artist and I am grateful that he had such a long and full life.
