Short filmTranscript
00:30Vividly, I remember the point in the Red Shoes ballet where in the shot of where Vicki Page
00:38goes straight on to point, that's the one thing that was in my head, I know this film.
00:42It was much darker than I remembered as a child and had a lot more adult themes I could
00:47relate to more as a grown up.
00:49You think of it as obviously this fairy tale that we've heard of of these perched red shoes
00:53but the parallels to the real world are uncanny.
00:56Marisha was obviously incredible in it, to then step into her red shoes, if you will,
01:02you know, in the fairy tale she essentially dances herself to death and so portraying
01:07that as a dancer I had to dance myself to death.
01:09The costumes were beautiful.
01:10Yeah, I was just about to say, the costumes from the film are so iconic.
01:14I don't want any more.
01:15Yeah.
01:16Give me the red shoes.
01:17I'll take them.
01:18Physically it's the hardest show I've ever done, emotionally it was the hardest show
01:21I've ever done and I remember coming off that dress rehearsal kind of feeling like I'd left
01:25everything on stage, my heart, my soul, blood, sweat and tears and I remember thinking I
01:30can never ever ever do that again.
