EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the ethereal grace and poise of June Brae, a renowned ballerina of the Vic-Wells Ballet, in the mesmerizing role of 'Nocturne' during a performance in the late 1930s. The image, published as a supplement to The Dancing Times in December 1937, showcases Brae's extraordinary ability to embody the essence of nocturnal beauty and tranquility. Dressed in a flowing, diaphanous costume that accentuates her lithe figure and delicate movements, Brae appears as if suspended in mid-air, her body bending and twisting in perfect harmony with the music. The soft, muted lighting of the stage adds to the dreamlike quality of the scene, creating an enchanting atmosphere that transports the viewer to a world of grace and elegance. The Vic-Wells Ballet, founded by Alicia Markova and Anton Dolin in 1931, was a leading British ballet company of the 1930s. Known for its innovative productions and commitment to nurturing young talent, the company provided a platform for dancers like June Brae to showcase their artistry and captivate audiences with their performances. This photograph is a testament to the enduring beauty and power of dance, and serves as a reminder of the extraordinary talent and artistry that defined the Vic-Wells Ballet during the 1930s. With her graceful movements and captivating presence, June Brae embodies the very essence of the ballerina, leaving a lasting impression on all who behold her.
