Zenaida Yanowsky and Edward Watson in Christopher Wheeldon’s The Winter’s Tale, Royal Ballet, April 2016. © Johan Persson.Wheeldon’s writing for Paulina (Zenaida Yanowsky), the head of the queen’s household, is convincing. She becomes an avenging angel, arms spread like wings, as she defends Hermione and reproaches Leontes, beating him up. Her distress is palpable in the sweep of her long legs and the anxious knitting of her feet in the Fred step – a nod to Frederick Ashton. She will be the conscience of the king once he comes to his senses. -- source link
