Ballerinas like Sylvie Guillem, Diana Vishneva and Natalia Osipova have also pursued independent paths but turned mainly to contemporary work.
Dancers today are phenomenal, even better than when I began, and apart from myself, I wanted to create opportunities.
The experience of being a freelance dancer during the pandemic, and not being protected by a company, made me realize I would like to do something for other freelancers.
I was pregnant with my second daughter, Ella, and I had to deal with other people’s decisions and choose another path.
I have seen what works, what doesn’t, the director’s point of view, the dancers’ points of view.
