Plesna avangarda, sami počeci suvremenog plesa. Iznimno rijetko. U odličnom stanju.
Vera Milčinović Tashamira, hrvatska plesačica i koreografkinja (Zagreb, 20. VIII. 1906 – Rodeo, California, 24. III. 1995). Plesno obrazovanje stekla u Zagrebu, proširila ga euritmikom E. Jaques-Dalcrozea, nastavila u školi Rudolfa Labana. Angažirana 1936. u zagrebačkome HNK-u, gdje je plesala u baletima Nikotina i Mladost (V. Novák, u koreografiji M. Froman). Djelovanje je nastavila u New Yorku, gdje je na New School for Social Research predavala nacionalne plesove različitih naroda. Bila je prva plesačica čiji se ples snimao na televiziji. Koreografirala je za televiziju i plesala u mjuziklima.
Kći književnika Adele i Andrije Milčinovića, kumče Ivana Meštrovića, lik djevojčice s medalje Ive Kerdića, odrastala je u kulturnoj eliti Zagreba. Priča kaže da je odmalena bila sklona pokretu i plesu, ali njezin život odredilo je to što je 1923. ušla u školu plesnog vizonara Rudolfa Labana u Hamburgu, gdje postaje članom njegove Tanzbühne te gostuje po Europi.
Tashamira, Croatian dancer and choreographer - real name Vera Milcinovic. Tashamira was a student of Rudolph Laban with a significant solo career in the United States. In 1931 she was the first dancer, selected through audition, who had a 15 minute TV special at the Columbia Television Transmitter W 2 x AB which was broadcast every Tuesday at 10pm. In 1935 she decided to come back to Croatia where she left a mark on domestic scene creating a series of choreographies entitled ‘Negro Spirituals’.
It’s interesting to mark here that she used Gospel and Blues several decades before famous choreographer Alvin Ailey took fame with these genres.
