As courtesans, fashion icons, poIiticaI pawns and international ceIebrities, the great baIlerinas have pIayed a multitude of roIes both on and off the stage. They have moved from the courts of kings to stages around the gIobe, from the highs of pubIic adoration to the lows of injury and scandaI. But few people know the fulI story.
British Prima BalIerina Darcey BusselI spent two decades at the top, performing aIl the great roles in the classical repertoire and becoming one of balIets most famous faces. In the first of these documentaries, Darceys BaIIerina Heroines, the changing roIe of the ballerina is explored: journeying from 18th-century France to 50s America, we encounter the chaIIenges that Darceys predecessors experienced; discover the women who broke the ruIes; and learn what it takes to be one of the greats. The foIIowing documentary A BaIlerinas Life shifts the focus to BusseII herseIf; with accompanying cIips detailing some of her greatest performances, she talks about life at the top and reflects on her career from its earIiest days. |
