#SpeakingInDance | “It’s actually freeing to have this empty space in front of me,” said Rachel Richardson, who leads a procession of women in the hypnotic, otherworldly opening of the “Kingdom of the Shades” scene from “La Bayadère,” at the @metopera through Saturday. The dancers, 24 in all, come onstage one by one while repeating a phrase: An arm stretches forward and a leg extends in arabesque before the back arches and both arms lift to frame the head. In 1974, Natalia Makarova staged the section for @abtofficial when Susan Jones, now the principal ballet mistress, was a dancer in the company. Susan called it “a transformative experience.” Until then, tutu ballets were rare at Ballet Theater. Natalia “wanted each dancer to be a ballerina, but to breathe as one,” Susan said. “To achieve that effect is so powerful.” The Shades scene remains the crowning glory of “Bayadere” — choreographed and staged by Natalia after #MariusPetipa — and one that’s worth the effort. “Even the thought of how something hurts or that one wasn’t good — you tell yourself, nope you are absolutely not going there,” @rhrichardson told the @ニューヨーク・タイムズ writer @giadk. “Then you really get to enjoy it. It’s a magical and wonderful experience as long as you let it be.” @anrizzy took this #video for our weekly series, #SpeakingInDance.
