Summary
Two-part interview with four dancers from the Royal Danish Ballet. Appearing in the first half are Alexander Kølpin and Nikolaj Hübbe, who discuss various aspects of August Bournonville's ballets and the Bournonville technique. Among the topics they cover are male dancing, male-female relationships in Bournonville's ballets, the use of mime, and the challenges of performing story ballets. Kølpin recalls Hans Brenaa's coaching when he was preparing to dance the role of James in La sylphide. The second half of the program features Linda Hindberg and Heidi Ryom, who demonstrate some typical mime gestures, contrast performing in Bournonville and contemporary ballets, and compare the Bournonville and Balanchine techniques. The program is illustrated with numerous excerpts from Kirsten Ralov's staging of Napoli, with Hindberg and Arne Villumsen in the leading roles. In Esoterica balletica, Christine Spizzo and Johan Renvall of American Ballet Theatre give a further demonstration of mime gestures used in classical ballets such as Giselle, La sylphide, and The sleeping beauty.
