I would suggest that passion and quickneFT.com / Arts & Weekend – Confessions of a leg man:Agnes de Mille, in her memoirs, Portrait Gallery, spoke of Markova’s feet and her ballet shoes lined with lambs wool: “Markova’s feet were flawless – white, supple, unmarked. Most dancers’ feet look like the ace of clubs, gnarled, jointed, skinned, bruised and blackened, with horny nails, and rubbings and scars.”At the age of 90, Markova’s feet were still beautiful, still tiny (size two) and still strong.

One comes in black tie and enjoys complimentary champagne and hors d’oeuvres with the ballet. The dance on the programme was the baroque event of the Opèra de Paris season.

In the far back corner of the large courtyard…. Only six large transparent tubes hang from the ceiling.

To me the show seemed like straight provocation, exploitation of Lisbeth Gruwez and the audience, taking us to another level of dance – back to its earliest origins in earthy sexuality…. Not to have seen the show – for if you are not offended by the naked and sexual female human body, you will rarely see a more pure display – but that at the end of the path, Fabre leads us holding nothing but those wild impressions.

Just off the ring but nothing but blackness and the massive wood and iron doors of old warehouses…. You push the heavy wood door, peer inside.
