舞者語錄 Dancer's quotes

GEORGE BALANCHINE 喬治.巴蘭欽 (1904-1983) - 盛名美國芭蕾舞蹈員及編舞家

原名Georgi Melitonovitch Balanchivadze, 1904年出生於俄羅斯聖彼得堡, 九歲考入聖彼得堡戲劇學校芭蕾舞系.

在網上找到一些Balanchine的名句(brainyquote.com):

First comes the sweat. Then comes the beauty - if you're very lucky and have said your prayers.

God creates, I do not create. I assemble and I steal everywhere to do it - from what I see, from what the dancers can do, from what others do.

In ballet a complicated story is impossible to tell... we can't dance synonyms.

In my ballets, woman is first. Men are consorts. God made men to sing the praises of women. They are not equal to men: They are better.

Most ballet teachers in the United States are terrible. If they were in medicine, everyone would be poisoned.

The ballet is a purely female thing; it is a woman, a garden of beautiful flowers, and man is the gardener.

他真的很崇拜女性啊。不過也是應該的,女性美在芭蕾舞中是表現無遺。
