Hans Christian Andersen has been an influential writer in my work. His magical and quite tragic fairytales were transformed into many ballets. The costumes and set designs seemed to influence and describe the craziness and madness of his tales and the emotions expressed through the performance/dance.
A still shot from a ballet performance in the 1952 Hollywood biographical film 'Hans Christian Andersen'.
A still shot from the 1948 film 'The Red Shoes' based on the fairytale by Hans Christian Andersen.
Beautiful performances and gorgeous stage settings/designs.
