Try googling 'FT Natalia Osipova'.

Got it! Thank you, John.

Sadlers Wells sounds like one to try for, but I would say (humbly) that she is mistaken in her view that people who didn't like her work with Polunin are simply luddites and unreceptive to new forms of dance.  The plaudits she gets at ROH for whatever she is in, be it the classics or Wayne McGregor demonstrates that her audience both understands and appreciates modern dance.  The plain fact is that her collaboration with Polunin was not very good - its as simple as that.

Having read the article I am not sure what to make of it. Does it really reflect what Osipova in fact said, what she truly believes, or it reflects her frustration with the media people writing about dance?

maybe dancers are not always the best judges of the quality of the works they are performing!
