Natalia Osipova by Andrej Uspenski
A collection of over 150 stunning black and white photographs, this collection of images traces the journey of Natalia Osipova, Bolshoi Ballet and Royal Ballet star, as she prepares for the most strenuous role of a ballet dancers career, that of the Swan. Foreword by Alexander Agadzhanov, the Royal Ballet's Senior Teacher and Repetiteur
..the arrival of Natalia Osipova at the Royal Ballet should be a cause for national rejoicing: a superb actress and a jaw dropping dancer * Sunday Times *
Osipova is not merely a world-class, instinctive technician (though she is supremely that), but specifically a performer who, by some strange magic, appears to find it easier to be off the ground than on it: the air welcomes and embraces her like no other female dancer I have ever seen. The tiniest skip seems to send her soaring, and yet - however high, far, or fast she jumps - she miraculously manages to land in complete silence. * Daily Telegraph *
