silvy Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I recently saw the Giselle film starring Nureyev and Seymour. I could not help but find Seymour's performance at the mad scene remarkable. I admired her courage in playing it ugly, not pretty as most ballerinas do. All of a sudden she transforms into a madwoman in a madhouse. It gave me the creeps!!! Maybe the rest of her portrayal is not very much to my liking, but that mad scene.... My God!!! Anyone agrees? silvy Link to comment
Victoria Leigh Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Sylvie, I have not seen the video, but I have been in productions of Giselle where she was the guest artiste, and I loved her in it, especially the mad scene! She was different every performance, and it was always very real and very moving. I found her quite fascinating! Link to comment
diane Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I agree! I always liked her. One of the best actress-dancers in Ballet, I think. -d- Link to comment
