There is a sweepingly lyrical pas de deux for Maria Kochetkova and Vitor Luiz, full of complex lifts that accent Ms. Kochetkova’s gorgeously pliant back and beautifully articulate arms.

San Francisco Ballet, Sadler’s Wells, London
By Clement Crisp
The succeeding Classical Symphony is set to eponymous Prokofiev by the former Bolshoi dancer Yury Possokhov. It is buoyant, playfully snook-cocking, despatched with brightest verve by a cast led by the splendid Hansuke Yamamoto and Maria Kochetkova, and the choreography sits happily, saucily in its music, given with almost tangible delight by its cast.

The Romance of Perfection
— September 10, 2012 —

"Ostrer shot Kochetkova in a series of poses which suggest vulnerability, playfulness, rebellion; characteristics repressed daily by the requirements of her trade."

Maria Kochetkova – San Francisco Ballet – Principal
By Aimee Tsao on September 10, 2012 in Interviews · 0 Comments
Whenever I see Maria Kochetkova off-stage I am always surprised by how diminutive she is, so sparrow-boned and delicate that she could be a Dresden porcelain figurine.

Merchant Archive presents a series of atmospheric photographs by renowned artist James Ostrer of San Francisco Ballet principal dancer Maria Kochetkova dressed in Merchant Archive’s vintage clothing.
The exhibition celebrates her appearance with the ballet at Sadler’s Wells, EC1, 14-23 September.
James has been photographing Maria for 10 years and is inspired by her obsession with perfection and quirky passion for fashion. He uses his photographs as a canvas to symbolise and hint at hidden aspects of her character. As he says, “There is a containment of physical pain and control in ballet which is tightly interwoven with its grace and beauty. I wanted to suggest this through the images of birdcages and her being bound by vintage ribbons.”
JAMES OSTRER
James Ostrer is an artist using Neo Baroque techniques within the mediums of photography and film to examine the common thread of discomfort that underlines western culture. His first solo exhibition, “Death, Sex and Re-birth”, in 2009 explored themes such as gluttony, sexual compulsion and addiction.
In “Journey”, curated by actor Emma Thompson and activist Sam Roddick in a campaign against sex- trafficking, his work was seen alongside that of leading international artists such as Anish Kapoor and Anthony Micallef as well as Oscar-winning costume designer Sandy Powell and art director Michael Howells. This ambitious exhibition toured New York, Vienna, Madrid and The Hague from 2009-2011.
Nominated as curator’s choice for the Taylor Wessing awards at the National Portrait Gallery, James’s 2010 portrait of “Nicky Haslam in Lucian Freud’s chair” explored the intimate relationship between the ‘socialite’ and the ‘artist’. This year he has participated in the Bloom Festival Public Art Event in Verona. One of 40 international artists invited to convert political billboards into exhibition spaces, his photograph was selected to promote the event.
MARIA KOCHETKOVA
Moscow-born Maria Kochetkova joined San Francisco Ballet in 2007 as principal dancer after training at the Bolshoi ballet school and dancing with the Royal Ballet and English National Ballet. Kochetkova also won the American TV series ‘Superstars of Dance’ in January 2009 on NBC and performs internationally as a guest artist with the Bolshoi and Stanislavsky Theatres in Moscow, the Mikhailovsky Theatre in St Petersburg and the Tokyo Ballet in Japan.
Maria will be performing with San Francisco Ballet when they present three eclectic programmes at London’s Sadler’s Wells over two weeks from 14 September.
