Sergei Polunin Ballet - Take me to church.

This is a perfect example of what we are trying to say about the ballet ! Sergei Polunin a lead male dancer left his positon in the royal ballet of principle dancer. In an interveiw with the BBC he says why he left the royal ballet. The main reason was the he question why he was pushing himself so hard , what was his aim ? he found he didn't have one.

He started dancing from the age of 3 , wasn't really his choice it was his mothers. His days where hard 6 hours of physical work per day. 10 yrs old he moved away from his home to london to perform.

Before leaving found himself wanting to do more , experiance other things. However there was a lack of employment opertunitys for him due to drug alligations stated by the media.
He had been under tremendous pressure due to his career and the medias involvment with it.

But now he has aims to change the inferstructure of ballet in oder to get rid of misconceptions and interpritations. Also for the benifit of the other dancer to make sure they are and know how to look after themselves well.
With this vidieo he dose this. He make ballet really appealing to a younger audiance and takes away the tradtional sterotype and gives ballet a fresh perspetive. What I find interesting in this video is that you can see the strain his body is having to go through to peform the dance and how is body and muscles move especially when holding the positons and extending / expressing the movements.
I would really like to incorporate this into my image/s for the posters. Come up with a motfi pehaps that could show an element of endurance?

I have also produced these really quick roughs based on the movements that I saw in the video, but I would ideally like to something more detailed for the actual final image/s.
