simonbfisher Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 Can anyone help identify this dancer? My only lead is that I think he is Turkish. There are some great pictures of him (and others) on this site : http://bedias.deviantart.com/art/Ballet-154457976 (Dear Moderators - I hope it is ok to post this link - and is this the right place?) Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa O`Brien Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Can`t help sorry. But was wondering if you could contact the artist and ask her? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonbfisher Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 Good thought, but I've tried this through the Deviantart site, but no reply! We have been given some glorious photo-prints of this guy (bought through the site) - and I'd love to give him a name. I'm just hoping that someone on here will go "Oh yes, that's . . . " !

LinMM Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Don't know where you are based but there is a very large and well established Turkish community in London.....this might be one for them....there might even be a cultural department I'm sure someone there will know!

LinMM Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 This could be useful or not!! London Yunus Emre Turkish Cultural Centre 10, Maple Street W.1T 5HA 0207 387 3036 Website: www.yunusemrevakfi.com It's a rather specialised thing your picture so may not be much joy but you could try. I believe there is also a large community in New York so you could be lucky there too There are other London places too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 http://www.istanbulballetcompetition.gov.tr/eng/gorsel.html There are some pictures of a couple of male dancers from this website about ballet companies (and competitions ) in Turkey. You might find his picture here or from another company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 The only really famous dancer I can find is Baris Erhan there are some YouTube clips and rather poor photos etc could it be him? I suppose the person who was posing was an actual ballet dancer and not a model or anything? That's it for now anyway!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonbfisher Posted August 27, 2013 Author Share Posted August 27, 2013 Thank you so much, LinMM, for all those tips! I really do appreciate it. I have so far sent an email to the various Turkish ballet companies with a link to The Picture, and peered closely at the photos of Baris Erhan - and almost convinced myself that it is he! I'd like confirmation, though, so shall keep digging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
