The ballerinas swapping pointes for paints

[ToThePointe]

I recently spoke with Ashley Dean and Annette Buvoli from The Royal Ballet to discuss their passion for drawing and painting. They were insightful conversations that I've recorded in the below article.

It's great to hear of dancers seeking artistic expression in other forms, especially during the pandemic...

I love the title!  I really enjoyed reading this article.  So interesting to read what Ashley and Annette have to say.   Thanks for giving them some exposure.   🙂

They are both very talented artists, as well as artistes.

I knew about Buvoli from the recent Ballet Association talk, but not Dean.  And that reminds me ...

I really like some of Ashley Dean's abstract paintings.

 

(Unforunately, my wallet can only strect as far as the line drawing prints... lol )

Both dancers have stood out for me in the corps de ballet and also in the few soloist roles they have been given. I have never seen a White Cat quite as wonderful as Ashley Dean - so much personality from underneath the mask! Lovely to see their artwork too. I have a feeling Buvoli could make a fine Giselle.
