Artist: Mirko Köckenberger 

Photo by Robert Pater

Here’s something you haven’t seen before. Mirko is a handstand artist. You read that right – his specialty is performing and posing on his hands. Translation: you could break a 2×4 over his abs. He has a Vimeo channel with only one short video, but Youtube provided some more interesting things like this. He hails from Germany, and his website is here.

Not exactly a ballet dancer; more of a circus thing, really, but that photo is too gorgeous not to reblog before I go to bed.

amphipathy:

Rudolf Nureyev, one of the most talented dancers of the 20th century. Fled the communist Soviet Union in 1961 in order to practice his art. Died on 6 January 1993, nine years after testing positive for HIV.

Poor baby. Dance was his life, and he risked it to dance. He was born a nobody in Siberia and died a legend in Paris. Shame that what cut his life short was one, fleeting moment of pleasure in the bedroom without a condom.
