Mikhail Baryshnikov (exclusive interview)
01/09/11
Mr. Mikhail Baryshnikov gave this interview exclusively during the Noorderzon Performing Arts Festival in Groningen, Netherlands. In this festival Mr. Baryshnikov is performing 'In Paris' a play from the Russian director Dmitry Krymov.
It was a very special moment for me personally as Mr. Baryshnikov was my dancer idol which I have followed from the distance since when I was in the ballet school in Albania back in late '80. The first time I had the pleasure to watch him dance live on stage was only in 2009 when Mr. Baryshnikov danced with Ana Laguna in Amsterdam.
The interview was filmed by dance2film (Altin & Mathieu)
This interview was made possible by the arrangements of danspubliek.nl

the (un)making of the pointe shoe
05/11/05
This 2 minutes clip seems to be my most popular one yet as in YouTube has attracted more than 101.000 viewers.
It was shot back in 2005 as part of a ballet and film mixed performance with Dutch National Ballet and 5 short clips created by me.
This clip was shot in the Freed factory in London. It was quite n experience to visit the factory. It was nothing like I had expected it to be.
Nothing shinny, nothing glamorous about the location but these shoe masters did produce some special work to keep our ballerinas on their toes
The dancer who features in the video is the former principal dancer Yumiko Takeshima, who now is famously known for her ballet wear that our dancers wear for rehearsals and performances. Visit Yumiko’s site here
