A little creative session with Vivienne Wong. She is one of the most
inspiring people I know therefore one of the most inspiring dancers.
I wanted us to feel content, to move content. These three little
bits of dancing are just a caress, a sway.
And I usually feel that way when 'Girl from Ipanema' comes on.
I wanted both of us to have a better day that day. It worked.
My name is François-Eloi Lavignac, I am a corps de ballet dancer
with The Australian Ballet, a graduate from English National ballet
school and I am also currently studying part-time a BA(Hons)
Professional Practice at Middlesex University London. I am an
aspiring choreographer, so videos and choreographic ideas shall be
posted on this blog.
Here is a picture of a controlled fire, it is a significant image to
me as I have been told by my therapist that I was in a burning
stage. The stage in-between, the transition phase. As an artist, it
is easy to feel like we have reached a wall even though we are
conscious of everything that's behind it. Sorting out the past and
organise the future are the main things I am going to be focusing
on.
My childhood memories are full of pine trees. I can see the
childhood burning to let place to the adulthood in this image.
Definitely an inspiration for creation.
