Laing (1911-1988) was the lover and muse of choreographer Antony Tudor. Jardin aux Lilas was a role he first performed for Tudor’s London Ballet in 1938. In 1939 they both worked for the Ballet Theater of New York, where Tudor choreographed several ballets for Laing. Laing was also well known for his magnetic stage presence with the New York City Ballet. Rex in DC
