    A revealing portrait of Sylvie Guillem, one of the greatest dancers of our time. Hand-picked by Rudolph Nureyev at the age of 19, she was the youngest ever 'etoile', the highest-ranking female dancer at the Paris Opera Ballet and later, the star of the Royal Ballet here in London.

    i watched her perform bolero and It made me tear up EVEN though i watched it here on youtube. i never understood the greatness of bolero until i watched her perform.

    i love her, she is the best one playing "raymonda" when she did it, she is just such a perfect dancer on a technical and artistic level.

    i had the chance to work with her once. with Forsythe. I even got to create a duet with her. her partner was not there so we danced together. at one point she was on my knee and trying to figure out what to do next and i thought HOLY SHIT Sylvie is on my knee :-) as well as being a perfectionist she is very very very funny. i adore her

    I hesitate to comment here because I just cannot find the words to express my admiration and, especially, my appreciation of this incredible dancer. In ballet, you are told that your body and all your movements are mere instruments of the director, but Sylvie Guillem brings her dancing to the level of a true artist, because we feel and see her personality on stage.
    And yes, it is essential be able to say NON, and say it often. As Steve Jobs (Apple) used to say, for each time we say yes to a new idea, we say NO a thousand times!

    No one has ever come close to her artistry and ability. The only artist I've ever watched where I felt the emotion. She brought out the best in her partner's as well. They had to level up or just be props.

    She is quite simply extraordinary. For those lucky ones who will be in Athens during Christmas time, they will have a rare opportunity to see Sylvie both in classical and modern repertory. She will be doing "Sacred Monsters" from December 19th to December 23rd and then "Marguerite et Armand" with Massimo Murru, from December 25th to December 30th, both productions at Megaron Mousikis in Athens (Athens Megaron Concert Hall).

    Well I am 40 now and and had a horrific accident whilst dancing
    She gave me so much courage to with 8 fusions in my back , and broken feet which I almost lost
    I’m walking in pain every day of my life but somehow I agree with Sylvia that never let anybody live your life for you , don’t just please but go out there and grab everything you know which you were born with
    You always have the right to say NO !!!!!!!
    My love to you, you are really my inspiration

    • @AudreeAdam
      @AudreeAdam Před 3 lety +2

      I'm so sorry you had to go through that Suranel! She does have a very important message when she says not to let other people live your life... and she had the talent to be herself. What I mean by that is that many dancers will just do anything that's asked of them, because they know they can be replaced pretty easily (at the beginning of their career especially). It makes us learn to respect our ballet master even if we don't always agree.... being so young and at the top when most 19-yo ballet dancers are still in the corps or a soloist is just amazing and it has changed her perspective on things, I'm sure of it...and I'm glad because she's great.

    Interesting how Nuriyev's story with Margot repeated with Silvie in terms of age difererence. BUT Silvie is so much superior as a dancer then Margot. I can't get excited about Margot even if I tried. But Silvie captivated me from first video. Just like I can nor get excited about Zaharova no matter what, but Silvie.....she is a a Goddes no matter what she dances...

    • @lyndahillyer5651
      @lyndahillyer5651 Před 3 lety +2

      Did you see Margot on stage? Films don’t convey her presence, simplicity and musicality. No dancer has ever moved me so much as Fonteyn. Cojocaru is close though. Her exceptional sensitivity and steely technique.

    • @AudreeAdam
      @AudreeAdam Před 3 lety +4

      It's normal, they are so different!! I can be moved by Zaharova, but not in the same way at all... and less. Some dancers are bigger than ballet and others are a more typical ballet dancer type. Sylvie Guillem is definitely not the typical classical ballerina.

    FYI today you would NOT get away with Sylvie’s attitude of saying “NO” if you didn’t want to do something when asked by your company director. Back in the 80s Sylvie was the only dancer with her level of flexibility so companies were desperate for her and would let her get away with anything but today there’s thousands like her. Try to say “no” today, you’ll be fired on the spot no matter how talented you are

      How is it some people see an incredible, talented, creative tour de force and feel the need to comment on how she looks for her age, or the size of her shoulders. A breathtaking lack of awareness? A lack of ability to simply appreciate? Conditioned to comment on a woman’s looks, rather than appreciate her abilities?
