Renata is a prima.

RENATA IS A PRIMA BALLERINA OF THE MARIINSKY THEATRE!!!!!!!

I cannot breathe omg. I’m literally shaking and tearing up. I have dreamed of this since her very first principal role as a member of the company, Kitri in October of 2015.

AU where Nancy and Vickie are ballerinas in the late 19th century and Steve takes Jonathan and Robin to a showing of Giselle where in the end Steve cries, Robin has a full on gay panic, and Jonathan is completely mesmerized by the music combined with Nancy’s performance.

#I’ve been watching a lot of recordings of different famous ballets on YouTube recently and needless to say it gave me an idea #will I write it? probably not #will not explain further #this is my second most self indulgent piece ever #first goes to my fe3h au #it’s an excuse to draw pretty frilly dresses because they are cute #this also might be one of the oddest historical aus I’ve ever come up with and I’m sorry to subject you to my brain #that currently has waltz music bouncing around inside it #thanks a lot Tchaikovsky and whoever did the score for Giselle #ballet costumes were designed by me and inspired by previous productions of Giselle and other costumes from the era #was very nervous posting this becuase of how odd the au idea is #hope that the tags work for me becuase they have been broken #sorry for the wall of text here I’m a nervous dork #stranger things #jonathan byers #nancy wheeler #steve harrington #robin buckley #vickie stranger things #jancy #rovickie #1890s ballet au #sketch saturday #more like sketch Sunday for me

I got re-fitted for pointe shoes since my feet swelled up and my first pair - the one I got at the summer intensive - is now suddenly way too small. I went to a local dance store and this was basically how it went down:

Fitter: Yeah, those are definitely too small. Who fitted you before?

Me: So it was at this summer program out in California, they had some people from The Pointe Shop come out and do fittings -

Fitter:

My sister-in-law is starting ballet and she wants me to give her one or two classes before her first class so she doesn't look like she doesn't know anything at all, so naturally I agreed. I was excited that she's starting ballet and love talking about it, but I never expected I would have SO MUCH FUN making combinations. I've come up with so many over the past day or so and can't stop lol. Picking the music is so fun, I'm using music I love dancing to, and then creating a combination to the music is just amazing. Some might be a bit....challenging for a beginner beginner, but I think that's a good thing!

This is the music and what combination each piece goes with!

Warm Up: Chopin's Nocturne Op. 9 no. 2 (obviously)

Plies: The Shire theme from Lord of the Rings

Tendu and degage share music: Faure's Pelleas and Melisandre Sicilienne

Rond de jambes: Ashokan Farewell

Frappes: Solor's variation

Adagio at barre: Gadfly Romance

Grand Battements: Habanera from Carmen

Tendu in center: Tchaikovsky's piano concerto number 1 (duh)

Balances/Waltz: Swan Lake waltz

Petit allegro: Lord of the Rings surprise

Reverance: Nikiya's death

kai from exo and marlon brando are sexy in the exact same way & this can’t be argued with

#their faces are even kinda similar #the way it took me like a decade to come up w this realization when ive been a big fan of both of their works since i was like #a freshman/sophomore in high school #ive watched multiple brando movies and been having an exo relapse in the last couple of weeks #text post #what brando is for method actors kim jongin is for dancers in kpop. okay. they're both the standard #both very charismatic and masculine-presenting but also sensitive and. well again as i said just really fucking sexy #objectively speaking. #captivating scene stealers and heartthrobs for all-time #kai is like brando who can do ballet #exo #kai #brando #idc im tagging this who fucking cares

yeaah the rise of academies seems like a way to make more money since its illegal to make trainees pay back their debts now. SM institute opened in 2020 and even thought they are offering scholarships and what not it seems less like a cash grab and more like the ballet academy scene. very intense, very competitive and very effective

oh, i meant that more generally about the industries themselves, not so strictly specific to the institutes/academies. academies and conservatories don't generally make high enough profits to warrant being labelled cash grabs (they usually have government/grant funding and charge obscene tuition fees to stay afloat), because training someone in any type of art+performance is never going to be profitable enough for a capitalist. but, when you take the comparison even farther down and compare the kpop industry to something like the current ballet scene, the industry itself is structured around maximizing profits, not about creating career artists. make no mistake, it does of course create career artists and attract people who are dedicated and passionate about making lifelong careers in this field, but currently the basis of the industry is deeply rooted in capitalism and does not prioritize the 'art' of it. tbh no arts ent industry is safe from capitalism now anyways, bc a lot has been restructured in order to just barely survive in the 21st century (rising ticket prices and elitist exclusivity, the art market etc etc), but the kpop industry isn't quite at the place yet where it gets accepted into the canon of 'artmaking for artmaking's sake'

#i DO however think that it WILL get there #most art starts as being perceived as trash for the masses so give it time #plus also the introduction of academies/institutes points that it's moving in this direction as well #its just such a young form of art that it's going through a lot of growing pains all the time #i do think kpop shares more similarities with ballet and perfomance than it has differences. it's just younger #and started from a slightly different place and reasoning. but eventually it will converge with the rest of the arts ent forms #also it's been the general trajectory for every form that's survived and been vaguely 'popular' in the post modern era #maybe this became a weird argument that kpop is becoming elitist as well as also being not elitist at the same time #but the existence of academies IS the start of that #i mean it is one of the only arts ent industries that ppl go into bc they 'want to be famous/a celebrity' and it works #(ppl who get into acting bc they want to be famous do not last btw) #and there defo are a lot more trainees now that come from money vs random/homeless kids picked up off the street #which does contribute to the internalizing elitism of a thing #idk where i'm going with this anymore i'm just musing about parallels bc they are there #idk the kpop industry is like if you shoved all the arts ent industries into a blender and then poured in way too much capitalism #and that's why it has a ton of parallels and is very clearly following trajectories of other industries but at like 100x speed #kpop questions #text #answers #me and my unclear wording smh #also im fucking tired my brain is not working turns out i really cant go off this medication or im a useless blob

I wish I never quit dancing….
