the academy believe she will be an accomplished ole dancer you've raised your child and gone through all the trouble to hand her over but mark my words at best she's going to dance in the back grove quarter by the way mothers once when they hear that eighty percent of the girls and out of there even though all of them dream of a crown and pink tutu just take off those rose colored spectacles you see how graceful they are when they step out but you should know that makes them very miserable because of the pain they suffer from the sacrifices have to be made here . is so big that's why i want to be a part of it but when i first went on stage i thought very scared. my heart was pounding the first time i performed on the variance the stage. it was. ok everyone has devoted.
10:30 am
her her. her her. her. her. initial a lot of names on the last battle and then the last great you know i get shorter for instance if they put on less or three columns of names you'll see about ten people at last laughs and that by the end it's. like that sometimes it hurts when you really want to like we have bigger girls who are never chosen for any parts and they usually get upset when the lists are put out they think i hope i'll be there but they aren't the thing is they're not very good candidates to begin with. though
10:31 am
. there's a new still alive billy none of us here came. training here is a very stressful experience exams and rehearsals are a never ending process evaluations are stressful as well the child is nervous because she doesn't know if her before woman says good enough to be accepted if she's turned down his self-esteem suffers you have to be very strong mentally and physically to face up to the challenge if you're turned down you don't need to give up on everything. to. stop the moment there are many up and coming dances
10:32 am
10:33 am
after her singing and performing some of the parts i'm completely exhausted so nobody embraced me because they know it's hard. to they see that you're almost ready to die. when you leave the court of l.a. . you feel very lonely because some of your friends have turned away from me but that's the sort of situation that i experienced during the first year of my fourth season but now everybody has come around the thought that thomas i don't said after oh.
10:34 am
move a little closer to it should be no distance between you take a step towards her and make sure her chest faces this way right up to her tutor with you. delicately. you. will come over here from very often oksana finds herself at the center of some gossip to work with but here but this is only natural because when she suddenly appears in a solo part after dancing in the court of ballet for a long time with nobody well everybody starts whispering about her but. i think all those rumors are started by many other down service wanting to take her place in. a film with the guys. far easier to deal with in general they are better at
10:35 am
agreeing on things and just clearing the air. as a single minded people they devote their lives to one cause to work and to serve. their audience should only see the results of their labor up there on the stage illuminated by the spotlight story which sometimes they'll spend months or maybe years training just to be able to dance a beautiful variation that lasts maybe a couple of minutes. at the end of the day the ballet dancer is totally played out so much so that he looks more dead than alive it's no wonder people say that if a ballet dancer doesn't feel pain when he gets up or used. it means he's more or less dead. good goods. one second you're obviously standing way too
10:36 am
close far far too close she's doing the pacu on the river here of course you can catch it here but she ends up over there. my boyfriend is a soul a ballet dancer so you could say we spend time together but no rivalry we stimulate each other to improve our performance what i say stuff like why did you let go and then he says why did you dive into a stretch i can't. bring all this criticism to one another does help us. but if i think it upsets him when i do it he's going to go away. with your brain is always about work it never takes a rest we argue a lot because we do need to relax to forget all about our work and switch to other activities but that never happens for instance oksana might have to dance in new
10:37 am
10:38 am
this stage squeezes a good deal of moral and physical strength out of me i don't know why perhaps there's something in its history traditions or the audience that makes performing here is so difficult just so much. good evening ladies and gentlemen tonight's performance will begin in twenty minutes. what you see on stage looks gloriously beautiful and everything seems as it should be but i know it's the result of very hard work and if someone were to ask me whether i'd like to go through all of that again with the knowledge i have now i'd think twice before answering the question what. is the issue.

10:41 am
three of us share a room christina and i come from different cities and the other girls from st petersburg we usually get up at seven thirty some of us like to get up early or classes begin at nine twenty sometimes we have seven eight or even nine lessons lasting until five thirty pm. sometimes we have rehearsals after that then we do our homework so some of us come here to strachey others to play the piano. and devil for us when i was at home i used to have about half an hour to watch t.v. or simply relax but not now i haven't watched t.v.
10:42 am
for more than a month maybe even two and a half. rented a room with a girl during the first year. during the first season i was lucky to get a room all to myself even though you can get two people in. two people live together in a room like this which. i druther stay away from the storm a tree. some buildings in some petersburg. and unpleasant energy. i think this is one such building. could be your vehicle after i came to perth to try to and to ballet school three girls out of eight who were committed. i was the only one. to finish that school. was
10:43 am
a teacher shows to me saying lose weight it is what it is true that keeping in shape is quite a challenge i try not to eat anything before going to bed but when i come home after a performance i really want to say which is all i can afford is a glass of yogurt for going to. it is a big problem for us back home you can eat whatever you want but here you have to be sent sometimes it's hard to hold back yassir allowed to eat more or less what you like but only a small portion of the time if you overdo it you have to exercise i know that sugar and up in the thighs and if you become too fat they kick you out. it's hard for putting him out because everybody is eating fruit and chocolates and drinking juice in front of her she isn't allowed to eat those things it's clear that she's still a kid and wants everything but she's not allowed to. sell what annoys me most
10:44 am
of all is that my teacher charles me that i do very well but then she takes home some marks because she says i haven't got the right figure. don't cross your feet and don't drag them like that point your toes are not jumping at old. junk they're. junk. but now the last year you managed to push every other time you were going like this you need to go up. talented children are few and far between that's why we have to make the others do things to the best of their ability we want them to be up to the mark so that the lake companies get good dances after graduation fortunately no stole it is overlooked in the academy's corridors we make them a swathe here. yes
10:45 am
but you're still there she and i have supported diana since she was around thirty four and. i've trained her throughout the years that she has been here. here shirt regrettably i don't have much opportunity for that now with such a talented student is a great joy for the team chair. kind of the local human genome really well every year she progress. we have
10:46 am
predicted should get to way she is now as you would know now i really don't think sarah frankly she wasn't doing very well at the time but she had no qualms about it when am i supposed to do she would ask shall i work on the steps ok that's exactly what i'm going to do she just did it and made progress. just to be delisted if you turned down an offer to done so late parts because you have an injury of some things because they want to make that offer again because
10:47 am
you end up being blacklisted it was to divert them good. now strained tendon but i keep on working anyway. because i realized that if i take a break i won't catch a new blue one time i had to own a ligament of course i didn't want the shame of refusing the part in swan like anyway i need the injury would still somehow interfere with my dancing regardless. but soon i changed my mind afterwards i can do it i can do it i said and that's why i got laid so we're. you know one time oksana was told to prepare seven numbers in a short period of time before they were totally different routines she rehearsed them for four or five hours a day. then she woke up in the morning and saw that her knee had completely swollen up.
10:48 am
so i took all those painkillers and i still done just. as you just sick and i know oh how excited are you going to show up at tomorrow's rehearsal wasn't it cancelled please come. ok i will. think what it seems no one wants to go tomorrow it was meant to be the one day off into wakes. and now it's his and. while.
10:49 am
most course i'm going to have children. family is worse i treasure my stiffle. everybody says that. she says because it's not on her mind right now but if she has to choose between being a prima ballerina and having a family. but she'll settle for the former as for me i have the same approach. work will come first as long as the outlook is good. i know that if i have a child i won't be able to devote myself completely to the profession i keep trying to convince myself that children can wait but i think about it all the time the touch with my me and. it never occurred to me that what i'm doing might be seen as
10:50 am
a desire to build a career you know i have chosen an artistic path of my own my accomplishments are the result of my inner development they give me strength of the perception of life and its purpose i take an earnest view of my development i want to enjoy the process and make sure that this period of my life lasts for as long as it can i realize that a child would turn my life upside down. now ok wednesday that voice everyone got sick. and i'm very insecure i used to dream of being a prima ballerina so i would even appear in solo parts that they played with the idea of allowing me to dance a really important role but i had a problem with my knee at the time perhaps it's for the best because otherwise i might have never become a teacher. and the second part of life is no less interesting than the first one in a different way yes but still. shoulder blades one of the
10:51 am
two. comes back up to eat floor and legs stretching out for a lot they head one two three. and four. up on bob on. that on. that. help me get admitted to the school and become a ballet dancer i earned a reputation because of her the she was the first to read something in my eyes that prompted her to look after me she has four daughters of her own and i guess you can call me her first. oh. yeah now i've got five nice grandchildren all i can say about them is that they're simply fantastic. i
10:52 am
only had daughters. but now i have three grandsons and two granddaughters. that they were. watching diana on stay or bring her to sing with her took a good deal of my time and probably more than i could have spent with my daughter lisa but she never complained she probably understood what kind of don said diana was. and lisa was following her and found. she gave birth to a child recently. she might dance in mind of pads just to breathe the atmosphere of dance she doesn't aspire for more because she's not a lead ballerina about the world again the dancers doing sello pad so prima ballerina is find it very difficult to write an end to that really is. they want
10:53 am
more of the same what you're. doing what you still like a grown up artist performing on the big stage you have a golden crown and a picture to show you have everything. and i am lucky because there are many time to incapable dances of the main city theatre is a certain some give up too early and stop short in the development and cement just not given a chance meeting but then the sometimes you see at the dances that us and you think you knew well i wish i could dance that well. with. can.
10:54 am
10:55 am
what happened that day i don't know but a woman killed. piers later is when i got arrested for. for a crime i did not do. we have numerous cases where police officers lie about polygraph results. innocent people to confess the police officers don't beat people anymore i mean it just doesn't happen really. in the course of interrogation why because there's been this is like meant no because the psychological techniques are more effective in obtaining confessions than physical abuse and they were off taking they could get what they wanted they can say what they wanted and there was no evidence of what they did or what they said.
