What a lovely picture! This must have been back in the 1920s, when I was dancing with the Australian Ballet. I'm pretty sure this photograph was taken during Act II of Giselle.

Oh, if this isn't lovely:) I can see that some of our creative directives seems somewhat similar. I mean we both put all of our love and joy into our dancing to make it an wonderful experience not only for us, but for everyone in the audience. Remember we're putting on a show, let's entertain! We also have alot of expierence and talents while we perform, which also shows in our work. Wanna know something? I can bet you that we both have so many wondeful stories of our most oustanding performances, to share, and our life long expierences! What a joy to be soo common:) Not only did I notice our identical similarities I also have noticed some differences in our creative diversions. I'm not just a show gal, you see I also have my hair do style and fashion sense.While you have more of the artistic abilities in the classical ballet career, of course I trained in that study, but it wasn't my main focus. Ooh!I have an idea me and you should collaborate sometimes, you come up with the steps and I'll comeup with costumes and some snazzy music! Oh that should be fun! I also think that all of the artists and scientists living in our era are extrodinarily intelligent people, so inspiraring and succesful. I love it when all of the arts decide to come together as family. It makes me feel such at ease and as if we can finally all get along:) It's absolutely amazing to think that people from our era of time have turned out to be such amazing and succesful artistc people.
ReplyDeleteAs you know living conditions for me around the time of the war weren't all smiles and joy. My first husband and the man who opened my eyes to dance, had passed while abroad in airflight. I do remember that sad sad day. I also remembered that he wouldn't want me to be lying there crying and not doing what I loved which was dance! So from then on out I danced because of him! I felt as if he was allways there with me right beside me while I danced on.
P.s. did I mention that you have beautiful legs and an amazing personality?
Well thank you very much for that compliment. I really appreciate that during this hard time. Yes, we definately need to collaborate sometime. That would be a fabulous show!
ReplyDeleteYes, yes indeed. Vernon would have been so happy:)
