Ballerina Questions: How do you prepare for a performance?
Added 2019-12-08 01:59:15 +0000 UTCPatrons!
I apologize for being rather out of touch lately and dreadfully behind on my monthly notes.
My move to Berlin approaches, alongside the final performance of my choreographer-in-residency, so I’ve been a bit frazzled.
One of my founding patrons asked an excellent question:
How do I get ready for a performance? (Especially one that is en pointe?)
This is one of many aspects of the production that will be captured—in fact, the whole backstory is being filmed, including how I warm up and everything that goes into a making a production. All this footage will be in mini-documentaries to be released in January or February.
I welcome other questions about what it’s like to perform as I approach the fateful day!
One thing is for certain: I LOVE being back in my pointe shoes. Spending so much time en pointe has been a dream.
I hope that gives you all something to look forward to! Thank you so much for your continuing support. It means the world.
Very fondly,
Ernestine
