Name two pointe-shoe makers shoes shown in this video.This video is on the Australian Ballet’s website. The direct link is: http://www.australianballet.com.au/watch_listen/video/en_pointe! However, I’ve not been able to get that link to open for me. [link corrected 12-10-2011. Thanks Paul S!]
What I had to do was go to: http://www.australianballet.com.au/ Then highlight ‘watch&listen’, and scroll down to and click on ‘video’, then click on ‘en pointe’.
The video is well worth watching and with real dancers talking about and showing how they prepare their shoes it puts to rest the complaint about pointe shoe preparation shown in the film Black Swan where it was said shoe prep was ‘over dramatized’.
Hi Jill
ReplyDeleteNice video!
For some reason it's not included the '!' in the actual hyperlink you've posted... if you add that then it works fine.
Bloch
Gaynors

One is Bloch, because there was a shot of the first girl breaking in a Bloch (with "Bloch" imprinted on the sole). Another is Freed, because I saw the second girl turn a pair of Freeds inside out with Freed printed on the insole at the heel.
