"This is where her submission came in as her greatest power,´says Violette Verdy, who, in her teens, saw the original 1946 cast. " She was waiting for her turn to move, but not looking at other dancers, or interfering with them, or stealing their thunder, but waiting in the music. She would fill her ears and heart wit it, and when the time came, she was forced to start because she was so full that it overflowed out of her."

" One wasn´t watching the dancing that was going on in the centre. One was just watching that beautiful, beautiful woman on the edge of the stage. Moving the heart, but not moving in action at all. Just standing there. Motionless."
