Alexandra Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 The McKerrow interview is wonderful -- and I swear I would say that even if it weren't by Mary Cargill ! It's long, and lots of fascinating insights into what goes into making a dancer -- PARENTS, READ THIS ARTICLE!!!!!! -- she talks about her training in detail, and the choices she had to make at various points in her early career, always crediting her parents with asking the right questions at the right time and giving her full support. Lots of interesting stuff about her win in the Moscow competition, and then what the company was like under Baryshnikov. Anyone who is interested in what goes into making a dancer will find this interesting. Even though the von Aroldingen recipes this time were fish (I share her dislike!) it's still a lovely reminiscence!!!! Link to comment
