I'm a Ballet Dancer; Mayara Magri

from So, What Do You Do? Hosted by Ampersand Speech

This time, we're joined by none other than London's Royal Ballet's newest Principal Dancer, Mayara Magri. Growing up to non-theatrical parents in Brazil's Rio Di Janeiro, Mayara has worked at her craft since she was 8 years old and now stands as one of the greats in ballet - as well as being a permanent member of the Company, until the moment she decides to retire. We hear about her life in ballet, the real pinch-me moments she's had so far - wearing the original tutu worn by the great Darcey Bussell, to stepping out on the Main Stage as Juliet, are some - as well as the curse that finds her sewing pointe shoes most nights at home. Special thanks must go to the Royal Opera House's Head of Press, Ashley Woodfield, for being instrumental in making this interview happen. So, What Do You Do? is an Ampersand Speech production.
