“war doesn’t start with violence, it starts with misunderstanding and prejudice. if you say you’re in favour of a world full of peace, you have to try to understand why others think and act the way they do.”

The weekend: all about pyjamas, bed, and books. Just finished Muriel Barbery’s The Elegance of the Hedgehog.

Part’s time at ABT has not been easy; despite obvious dramatic gifts and a beautiful legato quality, she has proven an uneven performer, with good nights and bad nights. Perhaps because of this, she has been less and less present in the company rep. Her final appearance this week was in Mozartiana, a ballet to which she is not particularly suited. She is monumental in the slow, prayerful “preghiera”, but the quick, witty Theme and Variations that follows is all about brilliant footwork, not Part’s forte.
