Frauenprojekt im Mai: Misty Copeland

Gestern habe ich meinen Fantasy-Roman ausgelesen - er hat mir von Anfang an ganz gut gefallen, aber mit jeder Seite wurde ich mehr in das "Caraval"-Spiel hineingezogen. Spannend geschrieben mit vielen Twists und einem Cliffhanger am Ende. Ich bin schon auf die Folgebände gespannt.

Beginnen werde ich für mein Frauenprojekt mit einer Biographie über Misty Copeland, die als erste Afro-Amerikanerin 2015 zur Primaballerina des American Ballet Theatre ernannt wurde.
 
Meine neues Buch:

Misty COPELAND
Life in Motion
An Unlikely Ballerina

Description: When Misty Copeland first placed her hands on the ballet barre at an after-school community centre, no one expected the undersized, underprivileged and anxious thirteen-year-old to become one of America's most groundbreaking dancers. A true prodigy, she was attempting in months roles that take most dancers years to master. But when Misty became caught between the control and comfort she found in the world of ballet and the harsh realities of her own life, she had to choose to embrace both her identity and her dreams, and find the courage to be one of a kind.
 
In this instant New York Times bestseller, Misty Copeland tells the story of her historic journey to become the first African-American principal ballerina at the prestigious American Ballet Theatre. With an insider's passion, Misty opens a window into the life of an artist who lives life centre stage, from behind the scenes at her first classes to her triumphant roles in some of the world's most iconic ballets. Life in Motion is a story of passion, identity and grace for anyone who has dared to dream of a different life.
