Manon: Alina Cojocaru on being in the moment | English National Ballet

In this second video interview, Lead Principal Alina Cojocaru talks about letting go on stage, being in the moment and reacting to what happens around her, rather than planning her next steps.
To illustrate her points, she talks about how she, as Manon, might react to watching Des Grieux (a man she has just met) dance for her. In this video, Lead Principal Joseph Caley dances as Des Grieux.
We perform Manon at the London Coliseum on 16-20 January 2019.

A great lesson for life too, to be fully in the moment, present, able to respond rather than react and not just getting lost in our habits. Wonderful, always a spiritual experience for me watching Alina ❤️

Alina Cojocaru is just brilliant! A wonderful complete artist who fuses amazing technique with soul crushing emotional performances.

I saw Manon with them two last year and I was overwhelmed with emotion in every pas de deux - she is spot on in what she says about interpreting a role!

Her voice is relaxing

One of the most revealing and rewarding accounts of what "The Dance" can be - so well expressed with humility and gratitude. Thankyou.
