To get one, for me important idea, from the Russian text below is this quote from Maugham's The Painted Veil:
'I have an idea that the only thing which makes it possible to regard this world we live in without disgust is the beauty which now and then men create out of the chaos. The pictures they paint, the music they compose, the books they write, and the lives they lead. Of all these the richest in beauty is the beautiful life. That is the perfect work of art.'
I have proof now that any "body" can achieve technical ability so as to look good and execute the ballet steps and achieve in the eyes of technical ability. It is only a matter of strength. But the lines might be more correct than breathtaking.
From yesterday's class: I was constantly drawn in between performing to the piano corner, the only spot where I could feel the floor vibrating from the musician's energy and drown my mind in the music.
And today, taking my first professional contemporary class in London, (I was a bit nervous, and hid behind the vivid colour of my trousers that made me look more contemporary and bold.)
I see that there are also many breathtaking contemporary dancers and that I have not built up enough strength to perform to my best. I have a few weeks before the first auditions in February to work on that.
