Grissi Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Days ago, dancers sent photographies dedicated to everyone who asked for them. Is that so nowadays? Someone knows what to do? Link to comment
carbro Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 Have you tried mailing photos to the dancers c/o their company? You should include stiff cardboard to protect the picture and a pre-paid envelope addressed to yourself to make it as simple as possible for the dancer/s. If you're able to wait at the stage door after a performance, most dancers (but not all) are happy to sign pictures then. Link to comment
Grissi Posted June 28, 2007 Author Share Posted June 28, 2007 Good idea, thank you carbro. I had a romantic and wrong vision of this, obviously. Link to comment
punkie Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 You can also try writing a letter to the dancer c/o the company, requesting a photo. Most of us don't have a photo to send for an autograph, but dancers do have access to them. Link to comment
canbelto Posted July 1, 2007 Share Posted July 1, 2007 I felt bad but not TOO today bad for simply approaching Irina Kolpakova in the lobby. Of course when I saw her I started stuttering and fumbling for a pen, and she was in a hurry. "Sorry -- next time," she said, but just at that moment I found my pen and ran after her. For some reason the second time she was much friendlier, and even flipped through the pages of a program book for a good place to sign. I thanked her and she smiled, and then ran off. But I got to speak to my idol and I was overjoyed. Link to comment
