Meryl Tankard – Two Feet

Created and performed by acclaimed Australian dancer/choreographer Meryl Tankard, Two Feet gives an insight into the rigours of extreme training and intense competition hidden behind the fragile image of the ballerina. Showing unreleased and remastered footage from 1990's, Two Feet follows two characters: a young contemporary dancer based on Meryl’s own experiences and Olga Spessivtzeva, a Russian ballerina renowned for her portrayal of Giselle. Olga’s obsession with her ballet technique led to a mental breakdown in 1932 and incarceration in a sanatorium for 23 years. Both women were consumed by dance, pushing their bodies to extremes for the art.
