jack-manpain-zimmermann:character board for La Sylphide by @heyfightmeI have had Roberto Bolle and Scott McKenzie as my Jack and Bitty fancast for far too long before finding this fic. At 6′2″, Bolle is known as a ballet athlete with superhuman technique and I can attest to his size being awe inspiring in performance. (Here is an example of my favorite ‘trust falls’ he does with a partner in Onegin that show just how strong he is) Bolle regularly dances pas de deux with other men, and the Proust piece shows just how well he can lift and support a male dancer of even similar height to himself. He’s the favorite partner for all taller ballerinas in part because of his seemingly boundless strength. He’s a superstar for many other reasons as well of course.Scott is a member of the corps at the Vienna State Opera Ballet and I don’t have his stats but he’s of a more average or smaller than average danseur size. Someone Scott’s size would be a breeze for Bolle to lift. This fic captures everything I’ve come to love about Bee’s coded commentary on Jack and Bitty as men and as characters. It’s so subtle here in favor of the dancing itself but god does it make me wish I could see this particular performance myself. -- source link
