Russian ballerina Natalia Osipova makes her debut in Shanghai

On Saturday and Sunday evenings, she will perform Two Feet, a two-hour solo ballet theater production created by Meryl Tankard. One of the signature works by Tankard, a legendary dance and choreographer from Australia, Two Feet was presented first at the World Expo in 1988. The work has been re-created for Osipova, with her own life experience incorporated in the show.

"Two Feet is really special for me because it has everything: we have humor in there, drama, Giselle...we have stories about dancers, me and my life...it is a brilliant show for those who really like and understand dance," Osipova said at the news conference in Shanghai on Jul 10.
