Sergei Polunin // the things I cannot say

- Опубліковано 4 лют 2022
- Montage with ballet dancer Sergei Polunin (Сергей Полунин). Set to Alison Sparrow's violin and piano cover for "Creep" by Radiohead. A reflection on my first six months as a fan and some life changing things that happened to me during that time - some wonderful, some challenging, and some especially painful.
(When I chose this song I was only familiar with the "America's Got Talent" cover version by Brian Justin Crumb, so those are the lyrics I had in mind as I made this. But this video is meant to make sense without a knowledge of the lyrics, so I'll leave it up to the viewer to decide whether or not to look them up.)
The mix of classical and contemporary ballet dance clips and interviews represents some of the dances, videos, and articles that made an impression on me those first few months as a fan and, as I pieced together all these scattered details of Sergei's career, gave me a sense of who Sergei Polunin is as dancer and as a person.
While only two or three other people in the world will know what this video means to me, I know many times people bring their own meaning into these montages I make, so I am sharing in hopes that, if nothing else, a few other people may enjoy watching this beautiful man dance.

With many thanks to @PamBoehmeSimon and her video "27 Times Sergei Polunin Made Me Say Wow", which introduced me to this world of Sergei's dance.

Thanks for watching! - Розваги
I’ve been working through some thoughts and feelings… and this came out of it. I’m not sure how relatable it will be to anyone else but it’s a reflection on my first six months as a fan (May 2020 - October 2020) and some life changing things that happened to me during that time - some wonderful, some challenging, and some especially painful. Because when you let yourself care deeply, you also open yourself up to being hurt.
But I spent too many years avoiding life before God brought this beautiful dancing man along my way and used Sergei’s life and his art to help me make a lot of much-needed changes. And while it seems that I’ll always have to choose between the two, I made this as a reminder to myself that if the choice is either to stop hurting or to stop caring… I don’t want to stop caring.
While only two or three other people in the world will know what all this video means to me, I know many times people bring their own meaning into these montages I make, so I am sharing in hopes that, if nothing else, a few other Polunin fans may enjoy watching him dance.
* LOOKING FOR POLUNIN BALLET PERFORMANCES?
You're invited to visit this page on my channel where I have been working on organizing all the quality recordings of Sergei Polunin's performances I've found on UA-cam. ua-cam.com/users/IndiaInkplaylists?view=50&sort=dd&shelf_id=2
Most of these playlists (over 30 so far!) compile near-complete or even full performances of ballets including Giselle performances with seven different ballerinas, Swan Lake with three different ballerinas, the Nutcracker, Sleeping Beauty, Don Quixote, Spartacus, Mayerling, LaBayadere, Coppelia, and many more!
* MORE POLUNIN MONTAGES: If you'd like to see more of my Sergei Polunin montages you can find them here: ua-cam.com/play/PLVViYmp7YHMPehY1NLvbPar-u2f8jLenm.html
I am amazed. I watched Sergei dancing for the very time last june. Honestly, I was looking for Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake videos and youtube recommend me a video of Sergei dancing TMTC in a Theatre in London. I was fascinited. I watched at least 3 times in a row. I started reading the comments and there were several about the bad camera work. Someone commented something like "if you want to watch him doing it perfectly go to the original" and shared the link to Lachapelle's TMTC. That was the beginning of everything. Sergei made my last months memorable. I've learned so much about him but also about ballet, dancing, choregraphers. It has been a journey. It is weird we was doing this journey at the same time. I thought you have been following SP's career for years because your videos are so fantastic. Really sorry for the very lenght comment and for my bad grammar. English is not my native language (actually in this journey I've gotten better in English too)
@@dsanchezbrett I love that London performance (clips of it are in this video) even if some people hated the camera work on it! You got to see his expressiveness up close.
I not only haven't been following Sergei for very long (although it's hard to believe it's already been almost 2 years for me), but I didn't even follow ballet at all before that. Although I would occasionally watch a solo if my sister shared a video with me. She shared Pam Simon's "27 Times Sergei Polunin Made Me Say Wow" and ... I said "WOW". haha. I immediately added a bunch of other Polunin videos to my UA-cam playlist and within the month had all the DVDs available of his performances and was scouring the internet for whatever I could see. It is quite a journey! Glad to be taking it with you and many of Sergei's other fans.
No need to apologize for the length of the comment or your grammar - you're very easy to understand. And I love to chat about Sergei and can be very wordy myself! And thank you for the compliment about the videos. I've always loved video editing but hadn't done much editing work for about 10 years. But then Sergei's dancing inspired me to start again. It's very rewarding to have people I can share these videos with, and just maybe one of my videos might be someone's introduction to the wonderful dancing world of Polunin.
@@IndiaInk Sorry, I understood it was 6 months, my mistake. Anyway, your videos are great. I am very thankfull about them because your channel is one of the first I discovered looking for information about Sergei here. It sad because living in South America I have almost null chance to watch Sergei live... but I'll always have these.
I’m so glad my channel was a help to you! I also am not very likely to see Sergei perform live anytime soon. Although he visits the USA he doesn’t often perform here. But I’m grateful we can at least see his videos!
Who could refuse such a gift? Anything Sergei offers to the world is a blessing..His immense talent comes from God and that is sacred. I love this video. Thank you💕💐💕💐
When I watch Sergei dancing, It takes my breath away! He 'floats' in the air!
And built so beautiful, with power, energy and esthetic brilliance!
Yes. He’s so very beautiful to watch. ❤️✨
Это Гений танца. И как гению,ему дано осознание истины. Он на стороне света,добра. Я с тобой.
Забываешь обо всем и улетаешь вместе с ним....
Сергей Полунин- нет ему равных!!!
Ich kann mich an den künstlerischen Darbietungen von Sergei Polunin gar nicht satt sehen. Außerdem ist er so ein sympathischer und liebenswerter Mensch. Ich mag ihn sehr. Ich bin bei seinen Tänzen, ob klassisch oder modern, immer hin und weg. Danke für die herrlichen Momente, die er mir schenkt. Es ist hinreißend.
I feel the same. Grateful to be able to share with you.
Ich fühle das gleiche. Ich bin dankbar, mit Ihnen teilen zu können.
La bellezza della vita è l'arte; lui è arte
Сергей, вы сделали самый главный поступок на Земле....вы продолжили свой прекрасный род!!! Дай Бог вашим сыновьям унаследовать вашу любовь, доброе сердце и желание идти вперёд в своей профессии, какую бы они не выбрали. А вашей Алёнушке всегда быть вашим ангелом хранителем! Любим, молимся и желаем прожить свою жизнь достойно!
Many prayers of blessings for Sergei and his family. ❤️
Великолепный и неповторимый!
🥰✨
Какой красавец во всём. Господь , защищай его, его талант от Тебя Господь.
Amen. 🙏❤️✨
Я смотрела года два или три назад документальный фильм про Сергея Полунина . ТАЛАНТИЩЕ!!!
Магия Полета 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️
Такие как Полунин ,Чайковский рождаются в сто лет ,люби наш дорогой ни только балет но и не забывай о себе о своем здоровье ,вовремя отдыхай,удачи тебе во всем!!!
❤️✨
Outstanding !!! Sergei is a gift to the world of dance and to humanity 😊
He is. 🥰✨ I’m glad you enjoyed the video. ❤️
Он прекрасен!!! Сколько труда вложено в эту красоту!!! Спасибо !!! Здоровья ,счастья вам и вашей семье!!!❤️
He is beautiful! I’m very grateful for all he sacrifices and gives of himself to share his dance with us. ❤️✨
Как не любить такого хорошего человека....? Храни Бог.
This man is surely the best ballet star for the current generation. I saw Nureyev dance Don Quixote . He was in his 50s but could still do the jumps that that role demands. I’d love to see this guy. Beautiful stunning.
Have nothing but admiration and awe for hi . Please don’t retire anytime soon.
From a devoted UK fan
I love hearing from people who are supportive of Sergei. I hope you get an opportunity to see him perform live someday. (I hope I can too! 😄) Wishing him a quick and full recovery. ✨
Горжусь тем, что Сергей родился в городе, в котором я живу и хожу по тем же улицам, по которым ходил и он! Сергей - гений танца!
❤️✨
I could watch you for a thousand years and never tire of your uniqueness , you are indeed special , I wish I had danced when you ! I older now but I will always be in love with ballet , dance . Thank you for making it your own , and the authentic roles you danced ! From 🇦🇺 with applause and love 💗
Sergei is a unique and beautiful dancer and person. Each time he dances with so much artistry and emotion and grace he gives us a gift of himself. ❤️✨
Удивительно трогательная гармония прекрасного музыкального сопровождения и пластики роскошно тела гения танца... Остается щемящее предчувствие неясной тревоги.... Спасибо композиция великолепна.!!!
Thank you. I’m glad you enjoyed. 🌹
Серёжа ты великий танцор!
He is an amazing dancer. ✨
Невероятный….
🌹✨
Какое трудолюбие и любовь к совершенству! Каждое движение прекрасно, гармонично! За этим стоит огромный труд и любовь к настоящему! Побольше бы таких любящих свое дело, трудолюбивых людей! Браво!
Скорейшего полного выздоровления!
Спасибо на подаренное наслаждение!
Искренне ваши друзья…
❤️✨
Главное, не слушайте никого! Ваше искусство неопровержимо! Самый лучший Сергей Полунин!
Meu coração até dói. É o mais perfeito anjo de Deus!
He is a truly beautiful and gifted man. 🌹✨
Сергей Полунин, спасибо Вам!
Many thanks to Sergei for all he gives us through his dance. 🌹✨
My favorite dancer, my favorite song, my favorite musical instruments, violin and piano 🩰🎼🎻🎶🎹🎵 Thanks is not enough, I really needed this video, it’s more than beautiful, just like all things that come from the heart 💞
Thank you 🌹✨ It means a lot to me to be able to give others a gift of beauty ✨ I’m grateful you enjoyed ❤️
Как хочется знать, - кто автор столь великолепной музыки для сопровождения выступлений Сергея, так гармонично подобранного, в итоге которого он, в своих танцах, ещё более чудесен!
The song is Alison Sparrow's violin and piano cover of the song "Creep" originally by Radiohead. 🌹✨
Песня представляет собой кавер Элисон Воробей для скрипки и фортепиано на песню "Creep", изначально написанную Radiohead.
Спасибо!
@@IndiaInk Спасибо, очень неожиданно, становлюсь фанатом и Сергея и музыки. Но по- моему в этом каверн звучит альт. Я права?
@@user-zs8ul4og8i I'm glad to be able to share the beauty of Sergei's dance with you.
I am not sure I understand your comment fully. I sent you a link to the video I got the music from in another comment. While it may sound like a viola, the instruments are a violin and piano.
Я рада, что могу поделиться с вами красотой танца Сергея.
Я не уверен, что полностью понял ваш комментарий. Я отправил вам ссылку на видео, из которого я взял музыку в другом комментарии. Хотя это может звучать как альт, на самом деле это скрипка и фортепиано.
Ок! ПРИНЯТО!!!!
Dear India, your work helps bring peace, art and beauty to the the world. THANK YOU.
Thank you. It means a lot to hear. Especially right now. Thank you. 🌹✨
My favorite artist
Mine too. 🌹✨

Thank you so much. ❤️✨
I quite like this quote: "But this is a good reminder to all of us - - that regardless how deep our troubles are - - things will only get better - - in one direction - - and it's up❗️ Judging by what Sergei Polunin has achieved so far - - he will also be a successful entrepreneur❗️ Brian Justin Crum is poised - - for a brilliant career- - in the music industry. As for you - - @ India Ink - - your fantastic knack for - - film editing or videography - - will land you an - - award for Best Cinematography - - one day. All three of you - - are an inspiration to people. Thank you for sharing with us - - this beautiful Polunin montage - - @ I I.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the montage. I don't know if I will ever develop an interest in Cinematography as I understand it to be (actually doing the camera work and recording images myself) but I do love editing the images and hope to one day reach a professional skill level at it, even if I never manage to do editing as a profession. Only time will tell! Until then, I'm so grateful to be able to share this work with people like you and to have your support and many words of encouragement!
It's a pleasure - - @ I I ❗️ You're providing enjoyment - - to all of us - - your loyal readers - - either in the form of dance - - good music - - and definitely interesting- - and creative - - film editing. And there's a genuine - and good rapport - - between us - - your readers - - and - - yourself @ I I❗️ Your montages are - - indeed special - - to us.
Marvelous, beautiful, breathtaking- the best and brightest male ballet dancer of his generation. I love you, Sergei Polunin
🌹✨
Ein wunderschöner Beitrag und die Musik passend zum Tanz. Ich wünsche allen Tänzern Gesundheit und Freude an ihrer Arbeit.
Thank you. ❤️✨
......Он - воплощение развивающегося театра танца в России со строгой техникой русского балета! Какая удача!...Er ist die Verkörperung des sich entwickelnden Tanztheaters in Russland mit den strengen Techniken des russischen Balletts! Welch ein Glücksfall!
Oh ! If we were all like that ! ....
Different World ..❗️🎵👍Bravo💗
Thank you so much for putting this together. I was filled with emotions that only Sergei can transmit with his passionate dancing.
Thank you ❤️✨. I know what you mean about Sergei’s dancing. He’s truly unique. I’m so glad to have shared this with you.
Thank you for this wonderful video 🤗❤🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Great choice of music too! And Sergei, his every move so strong and silky at the same time, so much passion and truth.
Thank you!! 🥰. Yes, the way Sergei moves… poetry in motion. Always makes it such a delight to put these montages together. I’m so grateful to have people to share them with.
Questo e' uno dei tuoi video che amo di piu' India: Grazie! ❤ Ogni giorno lo guardo almeno una volta.
Mi intenerisce il cuore, Sergei ti tocca l'anima con la sua grandezza di artista gentile, che porta la luce!
Grazie mille. Sono felice che ti piaccia. ❤❤Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoy it. ❤❤
Remarkable . . . that's the first and perhaps best word to describe how I felt about the video. Astounding, amazing, incredible, awe-inspiring, brilliant . . . all of those and their synonyms describe WHAT this man does, but the HOW and the WHY? One must be driven by something inside, something deep, something inextinguishable, something inexpressible, something that can only be observed, but can be expressed only through the silent medium of ballet. Thank you for posting this.
Thank you. ❤️ I’m so grateful you enjoyed. ✨
Beautifully done! I love the song with the edits of his dancing mixed in with the personal and public side of him. Beautiful as always!
Thank you!! 🌹✨
❤
Lovely! I was always intrigued by ballet and you have made it really enjoyable for me! Great choice of music too. I've not heard this version of the Radiohead song before but it's pretty awesome!
Thank you!! So glad to share ballet with you. It’s still funny for me to be introducing anyone to ballet because I still don’t know much. But Sergei’s dancing is so beautiful you don’t feel like you need to know much beyond that. ✨. I stumbled on this song on UA-cam. Found it very beautiful. Glad you enjoyed it!
Низкий, Вам, поклон, за этот канал!!!! В маленьком городе, где , почти совсем , ты"голодный" на искусство)))) - это ГЛОТОК ВОДЫ, который будешь пить дооооолго и с придыханием !
@Alla I I’m grateful to be able to share beauty and art with you 🌹✨
Thank you for continually taking the time to put together these wonderful pieces. Your edits are always so well done :)
Thank you. 🌹✨. I’m grateful to have people like you to share them with.
But Sergei Polunin does speak in all languages to listeners, seekers and hearts.
Yes. His dancing has a way of transcending language barriers to speak to the heart. 🌹
This video say it all about Sergei and the music is so beautiful❤️🙏❤️
Thank you ❤️✨
India , your montages always bring me great joy Thank you always
Thank you! That makes me happy to hear. 🥰 It means a lot to be able to bring joy to people, especially during difficult times. ✨
Gorgeous man
🌹✨
Perfect
🌹✨
Lepo je da postojis❤
❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for this lovely montage. So good to revisit past and more recent clips …. you’ve prompted me to re-watch the Bubenicek Paradiso rehearsal video, for instance.
And thank you for including a favourite move from the Maxim Fadeev music video. The horizontal jump and role to the floor. I’ll re-watch and note the time point.
3.14 - 3.16
Thank you ✨. When I make something more introspective I’m never sure how well anyone else will be able to connect with or enjoy it. Very glad to have shared a favorite clip. 🥰 I love that Maxim Fadeev music video. It was the first “recent” dance of his I saw when I first started watching him and saw comments about him losing his technique. All I’d seen were his older ballet clips so far. And it was 2020 lockdown time, so he hadn’t done much that year…. But I saw that video and was like, I don’t know much about ballet but that’s just gorgeous on so many levels. ✨
(And you’re famous again, showing up in these montages… 😄)
@@IndiaInk was trying not to mention that 🤣
BRAVOOOO!!!??
Thank you! 🌹✨
Unless a seed falls into the ground and dies… is that how the New Testament verse goes? Life has hope for continued life to share and offer. Just look at this man.
I love the way hi moves.
As the saying goes, “ poetry in motion”. ❤️✨
@@IndiaInk exactly!
💜
🌹✨
He is my latest crush!!! Lovely Lovely dancer!!!
Interesting, India, I think the idea is to show the contrast between his onstage and offstage personality, although I’m sure you’re not aware that’s what you did😀. It really works!
Thank you. 🌹 There were a lot of choices made for my own reasons that won’t be at all obvious to anyone else. Which is why, at first I was concerned it wouldn’t flow well for other people. But I’m happy that what I hoped for happened- that people can see and make some of their own connections between the pieces and enjoy it. 🥰
You’re right, in guessing that showing that particular contrast wasn’t forefront in my mind when I started the project, although I did notice it in the editing process and thought it might help weave some of the pieces together for other people. And I do always like to show the different facets of Sergei’s personality whenever I can. 🙂
@@IndiaInk Yes, I know you’re intuitive, but good artists always are.
It’s always kind of funny/ interesting to me when people will point out (like you just did in your comment here) things I put in without really deliberating a lot and so by the time it’s done I had already forgotten about. 😄 (I be like, “Oh, right. Yeah. I did that. I forgot. Thanks for noticing.”😆)
@@IndiaInk next time, could you include some of his appreciation moments? You know, like the one where he kisses Grigorovich hand or his partner’s or the latest, where he carries Makatova onstage. Those nearly make me cry.
Love those!! 🥰 I will definitely keep them in mind for a future project.
I can only hold so many images in my memory and have hundreds of videos to choose clips from for each project, so it’s very easy to lose track of some of those golden moments mentally. Thank you for mentioning them. Feel free to mention any others in the future to help bump them closer to my awareness. 🙂
(And yeah… I’m talking about enough Polunin videos to fill about 2Terabytes of disc space. 😆 I need to make a point of reviewing my footage from time to time so I don’t forget a lot of good stuff. I really prefer not to reuse the same footage if I can help it, but I often forget what all I have…)
Specialis maximus
❤️✨
Es ist so schade, dass das Konzert in Mailand abgesagt wurde!
Yes. 😢 A lot of people were looking forward to it and have waited years to be able to see it.
Прошу вас сказать, - а кто исполняют эту музыку? Огромное спасибо!
Alison Sparrow: ua-cam.com/video/a8EJ3ZV-J-o/v-deo.html
Watching again, drawn to this man . . . . Without the facial hair, he looks vulnerable, youthful, hopeful; the mustache and beard alter him . . . is their purpose to hide vulnerabilities?
What is the music please?
Alison Sparrow’s violin and piano cover for “Creep” by Radiohead.
