New Year! … WellCome!

With my ideas beautifully coloured by a lot of ProSecco, I believe, at this very moment, in a viable and definitely pleasant world. I CHOOSE to believe in this world,  despite all newspapers and scientific reports, and wish deeply it will be your world in 2015 too! May it be colourful, fun, stimulating and, most of all, rewarding! So much so, bad news will go unnoticed – so much so, people around you will be infected, and become suave (this oldfashioned word!) and colourful too… The opportunities you were waiting for will just happen (yes, they WILL), smoothly and effortless, no extra suffering needed…

Throw away bitterness, stress, care, disbelieve… – let’s go after what really mathers! Let’s go for it! I wish you a surprisingly good 2015!

Quote of the day – Constantin Stanislavski

“Be careful when rehearsing with a mirror — it teaches you to watch the outside, not the inside.”

Constantin Stanislavski, russian actor, co-founder of Russian National Theatre, developed the method of acting that carries his name.

His goal was to find the way to the most natural, believable acting. An actor, he said, should be able to draw on his experiences, on his inner feelings, ideas, beliefs, use and transform them to give life to his role, and then free himself to enact this character in its own terms, with its own internal logic. It must not be just an intellectual process, but an experience: ‘Acting is action – mental and physical’.  And perfect for dancers: ‘The body is the key that unlocks the soul’…

Ivan Vasiliev’s Injury – Good News!

Ivan Vasiliev is already rehearsing in London. It will be a memorable Swan Lake, for sure – both he and Alina Cojocaru are real, great artists, and ENB’s production has earned so much praise!

Never, never! could I have imagined that post about IV’s injury would have such visibility, it certainly was not my intention- but then, he is a very much loved artist!

Obviously those linking  wanted to know more details about the injury, not my “wise” opinion about it, and all that post did was help brew  a storm in a teacup. As there were no news until the  27th Dec,  there was no way to ease his fans worries… Fortunately, it seems his injury was not an ACL  – as a russian newspaper stated – or there are ways of treatment that don’t require long months of rehabilitation. Anyway, he is young and strong, and is already back!

Now let’s hope the best to Natalia Osipova and Guillaume Cotê, too,
