NOTE INTENTION
|
|
Formerly, any interpreter passed one audition before being engaged in a production. Today, the cinema forsook this mode of selection, he preferring the recommendation, the hazardous meeting.
The Theatre loses also this practice. And television seized this passage obliged for any artist to become
about it but emphasizes any only the sensational aspect in order to
create entertainment.
Only dance perpetuates this tradition of discovered talent, by the means for example of Master Class organized by large
choreographers like Carolyn Carlson or Mathilde Monnier or even by days of detection based on workshops of work.
|
For any dancer, the audition remains one key moment. During several days, very young dancers are observed in their the least action. The fear of the failure holds them in breath.
For most solid of them, it is an engine. For others, it is an insupportable pressure. Little of them will be selected.

 |
At the hour when general public thinks that the talent is acquired
with blow of TV rating and money placed well, hundreds of dancers furrow the roads of the world in the hope to take
down a hearing, a contract.
It is far from imagining that certain dancers choose the exile to dance, family and fatherland leave to follow their vocation.
For any dancer, the audition even represents the climax of a physical or mental preparation
started since months of the years.
It is for the dancer, time to give a progress report on its trajectory.
But how to prepare with an audition?, How to manage its potential, stress, the phantasm to be one day on scene?
|
While following the trajectory of Emilia Giudicelli, we enter the world of the dance, in the slides of its training, of its mode of selection.
Testimonys, Master Class, international hearings, extracts of spectacles, meet with prestigious names of the contemporary dance, run in school of dance will show artistic and psychological
engagement.
her vocation and her engagement are not without pointing out that of Marie-Claude Pietragalla, prima ballerina and originating like Emilia in the Island of Beauty.
