Maya Plisetskaya about dance (with English translation)

Maya Plisetskaya about dance (Russian) - an interview. ============================= From my experience. All audiences are good if you perform well. I feel it when I am taking the audience, and I take them by giving them something. Sometimes I can not understand, what it is specifically. But I feel, that something is coming from me. I force the audience to be attentive, then to hold their breath, then I have great success. This means I have performed well. And this concerns any audience, because all people are the same. People perceive both life and art equally: it either touches the soul or not. And nothing else! That's why I don't like to dance 'about nothing'. Just 'dance about nothing'. Then it is 'about nothing' in your soul as well. And what all this is for?.. Recently some people very often show us: look, this is - ' modern dance ', you probably don't understand. A person thinks - probably I am stupid, because I don't understand. They don't believe themselves. This is wrong! B
