Swan Lake/Lake Swan/Ballets - by John Powell
The movement of the body is a language;You have people who can dance but the spirit don't dance,you first must dance in the spirit before you can dance; This piece is 3rd in an extention from the homage to "Swan Lake", music series...Is the drawing in process,which I am continuing to draw, as I am doing the research on it;More features to come in the next drawing I will put up;Swan Lake,by Tchaikavsky Pyotr.Nothing Compares with Swan Lake arguable the most loved of all classical ballets.From its first incarnation in 1877 in Moscow,this timeless story of a young man's love continues to capture audience and inspire new generations of dancers and dance lovers;During a hunting trip,Prince Siegfried falls inlove with Odette who has been transformed by the evil Von Rothbart's spell into a Swan by day,returning to her female form only at night by the lake side .Siegfried's love can break the spell because he has never loved before.But Von Rothbart's daughter Odette tricks Siegfried into declaring his love for her and all seems lost.The evil is broken when Siegfried and Odette drown themselves in the lake and are united in death forever.When we are not loved as we need to be loved ,we often survive the deprivation through fantasy;We enter a fantasy of our own making
