Description
Sir Kenneth MacMillan was renowned for his ability to develop the character of the roles played by his principal dancers through the sensitivity of his choreography. In Manon the five pas de deux that he has given his principal lady shows her progression from a young innocent on the brink of womanhood to her eventual destruction. This talk will look at the way that MacMillan achieves this effect and the skills that the dancers need to interpret it.
