Alexandra Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 What are the necessary and sufficient conditions for Bolshoi Style? Head, fingers, knees and toes, please. And for men as well as women. Link to comment
grace Posted March 30, 2003 Share Posted March 30, 2003 BIG and BOLD. covering space well. 'heroic' use of space, perhaps... rich & eloquent character dance. that's for starters... ;) Link to comment
BW Posted September 27, 2003 Share Posted September 27, 2003 Just to remind us that there's more to The Bolshoi than the recent excess of "news" stories. Link to comment
artist Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 To me, their arms in 'high 5th' or 'en haut' seemed more square and a little to the side than round and long. And fingers, not as open. Link to comment
Choate Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Bold and big jumps--both men and women. Ferocious turners. Link to comment
Ostrich Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 If I had to sum up Bolshoi style in one word, it would be "generous". Link to comment
SanderO Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Gene Schiavone, the amazing photographer of ballet has a wonderful series from the Bolshoi in DC... These photos are stunning: http://www.geneschiavone.com/gallery/Bolsh...-Feb-25%2C-2007 And while you are at his site... take some time to look at the Denis and Anastasia Matvienko of the Kirov... But all the galleries he has there are incredible and show the wonder of ballet in photography. Treat yourself... and have a look. Link to comment
