Marga Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 I just ran across this piece on Johan Persson's life and his reason for changing careers in his prime. It is on Darcey Bussell's webpage, which I found while looking for something else..... Johan, for those who don't follow Canadian or British ballet, was a well-known and popular principal dancer at the National Ballet of Canada for 11 years. He followed his girlfriend (now wife) Jaimie Tapper to the Royal Ballet almost 4 years ago, where he danced principal roles as well. Last fall he published his first book of photographs called 161 Images. He has captured stunning and evocative backstage and rehearsal images with his camera. For those who wondered how he could make such a seemingly sudden career switch, the following article tells the whole story. http://www.darceybussell.com/johan.htm Link to comment
