    Such a rich, eloquent intelligent conversation. I use the word conversation, because it was a sharing and so much more than the more common shallow interviews you often watch. When two intelligent, people talk about a subject they are passionate about- that is when the magic happens.

      I agree totally with your comment. This is normal, realistic, and honest. Modern day, corporate interviews are driven by filth and propaganda.
      This was amazing, enjoyable, and totally magic. 👍

    I saw Swan Lake in London with Adam Cooper back in the day and the whole thing was the most marvellous magical thing I'd ever seen before or since. Everything about the production was absolutely superb - the set, the costumes, the choreography, the dancers and, of course, the music. Those who didn't see it missed a treat of a lifetime.

    • @RitaB1628

      I agree, Swan Lake was the best thing I have ever seen in the theatre and Adam is still the best Swan.

    What a lovely man inside and out. So humble, erudite, complimentary and appreciative of those who encourage and criticised him along his life's path. Hats off to Ismene Brown who knew when to let the man talk and not put words into his mouth. Most enjoyable. (Armchair You Tuber 73 in South Africa)

  • @judyevancic4926

    I took ballet for eight yrs and have a deep love of dance. This story brought tears because the decision by the father was agonising against how certain people viewed boys dancing as a profession. In all the years I was dancing I saw one boy there. Today it’s different as society still has a problem but more of both genders accepting this profession. I have watched this movie numerous times and find things new every-time I watched it.

    I remember the young Adam from Open classes in Covent Garden, and one evening at the Coliseum he went out of his way to greet me when I was feeling exhausted and unimportant. He always had a supportive attitude. I will never forget his black swan solo in Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake.

    Now for something a bit controversial maybe? In my view, the actor who played Billy Elliott's father in the film should have won the BAFTA for Best Actor for that year and not Jamie Bell. As good as Jamie was, I thought that Gary Lewis played his part exceptionally well. I immediately thought the choice smacked of a political decision in as much as maybe the Academy were trying to encourage the younger generation into the acting world and by choosing Bell for the winner of the award, that would send a signal saying that you too can achieve this sort of goal in life. Those are my thoughts regarding this anyway.

    Schwanensee war zuerst interessant für mich wegen Tschaikowskys Musik❤ Aber das Ende von "Billy Elliot" machte mich neugierig auf die Version in der Adam Cooper tanzte. Diese Federhosen sind wirklich eine interessante Idee und er tanzte fantastisch. Ich sah das ganze Ballett im Fernsehen und war begeistert. Ausserdem ist AC ziemlich sexy😛. Er müsste jetzt (2024) 53 sein.

    I have a granddaughter that entered live performances. At a tiny 4 feet 8 in. tall, she had more zill and passion than energy to support it. She would walk off stage at the end of a perveance, in perfect grace, just out of sight, and collapse. She would have to be physically revived. If anything in the performance had been off by seconds she wouldn't have made the curtain. She showed me what these performers endure to make it look easy.

    58.20 where the interviewer talks about the effect of lock-down on the performing arts community is just chilling. One of my children was a singer in the same position and had to look around and think "what now?" also with a family to support. He's now working in IT and has not gone back to opera. Just how many freelancers had to step away from their chosen profession for which they had trained hard for so many years?

    • @balletlegendsinterviewed
      @balletlegendsinterviewed  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, chilling. And then today’s hostility to performing arts careers. I hope young dance and music performers of talent will barge through these discouraging times, bringing audiences with them, possibly in new ways.
