silvy Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 For you, what features (physical, artistic and otherwise) should a ballerina possess in order to impersonate this role? Thought it might be interesting, as i hear so much about such-and-such dancer being unsuited for the role from the start due to such-and such unsuitable feature. Silvy Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Depends. Is the swan a big, powerful bird? "How DARE you?!" Is it a delicate animal? "Please don't hurt me!" Link to comment
Alexandra Posted December 17, 2003 Share Posted December 17, 2003 Yes, Odette is a tough one -- there have been so many great Odettes, and each one has marked an ideal for her place and time. I hope people will ring in with their favorites. Link to comment
