Comments on: Odette’s escape: woman or swan? https://thenewneo.com/2022/07/23/odettes-escape-woman-or-swan/ A blog about political change, among other things Mon, 25 Jul 2022 19:18:41 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=7.0 By: Ben David https://thenewneo.com/2022/07/23/odettes-escape-woman-or-swan/#comment-2634299 Mon, 25 Jul 2022 19:18:41 +0000 https://www.thenewneo.com/?p=118828#comment-2634299 Thanks. We need the arts more than ever now. It’s no coincidence that those who despise truth and life are also enemies of beauty.

I had never heard of Gillian Murphy. She seems to have the long thin body of the modern ballerina with the expresive approach of earlier generations (as you taught us in earlier posts). At least in these clips she does no extreme extensions.

And she is the only one who actually seems to hop like a bird in those entrechats. The others don’t get as airborne.

Makes for mutually uncomprehending conversation on the way home.

Also one of my favorite pieces of music. It’s wonderful to “see” what the music was up to.

I also loved the thundering herd of swans in that one. 🙂
