Ballerina´s Delicate & Raw Emotions
Olga Kuraeva by Aleksander Yakovlev
“My dance is neither a philosophy nor a job; it is the way I am feeling emotionally. This is #whyImove,”
Olga Kuraeva
Dancers use their bodies as finely-tuned instruments, communicating thoughts and feelings through movement. Kuraeva dances with the Bolshoi Ballet Academy, one of the oldest schools for classical ballet training. The intensive time and effort that has gone into her development as both an artist and dancer is highly apparent in the breathtaking composites that capture Kuraeva in motion.
“I am not an actress. If I am not going through a certain emotion, I won’t be able to express it through dance. It doesn’t matter if I dance well or not — the most important thing is that I am real. The Bolshoi Ballet Academy is my childhood, my youth and my present, but I don’t have ballet idols. I am really inspired by people who do extreme sports. I think they are brave and emotionally very strong. The stage never gives you a second chance, so I prefer photos and videos. The camera is able to capture real and deep emotions. I can see myself developing in that direction in the future.”
