In handbells we also notice a trend of mistakes durring a dress rehearsal keeping us on our toes for a better performance. 😊

Does someone from “quadrille” or “coryphae” ever do a solo?

You've given this an interesting turn in that it was every art form that was changing. Painters, musicians, and dancers in addition to every other form of art, were learning from each other. This has allowed a great exchange between all of the arts so that none of them operate in a vacuum. I think recent events have shown that artists feel more isolated than they should. It's a form of competition that detracts overall from what could be happening. Thank you for highlighting this!

i study arts history, where the studies tend to present art as movements, showing a group of isolated artists (thus already presenting the arts of painting/sculpting etc as isolated, so u can imagine how decontextualised from other artistic fields it all feels), but i also have a bad perception of time, so i tend to forget dates, n i have a hard time picturing how so many art movements were happening simultaneously.. the few dates i remember do help me realise how the arts in france (as well as everywhere) were varied, with one example being that when Monet finished his project for the Nymphéas being installed in the Orangerie Museum (1921 i think), cubism had undergone all its phases of elaboration (1904 to 1911 ish), meaning one could go to Paris n see exhibitions on Impressionist/Cubist art in the same day!! knowing artists who worked in different media who lived at the same time is also helpful, like a painter n a musician etc, but as i said im quite bad at it, so i use "chronological checkpoint" people, so situate myself, one of them being Picasso, as well as Rembrandt

Similar to opera! Except for "good luck" we'll say "toi toi toi" cuz spit keeps away evil spirits 😂 theatre people are so weird

@pinstripesuitandheels Күн бұрын

I once wished a ballerina good luck by saying "break a leg". It came out of my mouth before my brain had a chance to think. Her eyes looked wild, but she gently corrected me. 😅 I'll never make that mistake again!

@melowlw8638 Күн бұрын

i wanted to add, as a french, that saying "merde" has gone on to be an expression of wishing luck, in other ways than just ballet!! my sister in law gifted me a poop shaped pin (unicorn themed, its glittery 😌😌) to wish me luck for a graduation exam a few years ago love hearing little superstitions in different fields of work!! they tell us abt small details we never rly consider, i think its so nice

@melowlw8638 Күн бұрын

from my understanding, merde is the version of that!! u just cant with a ballet dancer to break a leg, that would be more than unlucky (even if yes its just an expression)

Maybe korean training did something that American failed to do, to elevate her further.

@shespeex8413 Күн бұрын

“Break a leg” was for auditions, as one hoped to be “in the cast.” I definitely grew up casually cursing in French before I knew what it meant.

In the theatre world, if we have a fabulous opening night, that means the 2nd night is going to suck. And it's usually true!😂

@kelseytink3488 Күн бұрын

This isn’t limited to ballet - that is the same for actors in theatre as well! :)

@timothysmith7888 Күн бұрын

Funny that you can say “Merde” without hesitation but you can’t say sh*t or the algorithm will target your post or account, Lol! I was taught that while saying “merde” to fellow company members on opening night, one also gave them a gentle knee to the cheek (glute)! Is that the s till practice? How great to hear the etymology of “merde” as used by ballet dancers. “Leg and Neck Break” was a wish that Royalty present at the performance would be pleased and beckon the performer(s) and/or company who would then have to bow (bend or “break” at the knee and neck) before Her or His Majesty. Personally, I love the merde de cheval! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Omg yes, so our Nutcracker cast actors for our party scene for the party parents, Mr and Mrs Stahlbaum, Maids and Drosselmeyer and they would often tell us good luck when they see us getting ready to go on stage for either snow or Act II. Like I feel bad because they don't know any better and I want to let them know that we say merde instead of good luck but I don't want to come off the wrong way to them lol.

@ladykarolyn1 10 сағат бұрын

That's interesting, because I was trained as an actor, and everyone I knew said some version of "break a leg" because "good luck" is bad luck. I wonder if they thought it was only a theatre thing, so they said it how they thought you'd understand it. If so, little did they know! 😂

@mermaidopulence8539 9 сағат бұрын

@@ladykarolyn1 they usually do say break a leg but with us being ballet dancers they figured saying "break a leg" wouldn't be the correct thing to say so they just said good luck. This year's Nutcracker we have some returning actors so they now understand what merde means and why we say it. We do have some new actors, hopefully the returning actors can fill them in so we don't have to lol.

The first one makes a lot of sense, having a bad dress rehearsal helps the cast know what pitfalls to look out for, how others in the cast deal with the stress, and prevents everyone from getting too comfortable!!

I thought that people also say "toi toi toi" to dancers before their shows. But that might also only apply to European companies, except for the French ones probably.
