Sylvie Guillem, Russel Maliphant – Emilio Corti
The association between super star étoile Sylvie Guillem and choreographer and dancer Russel Maliphant continues to produce masterpieces of strength and pure poetry. Each of their ten year’s worth of experience in classical and contemporary dance combined in 2003 when the dancers produced “Broken Fall” for the Covent Garden Dance Company with the Royal Ballet.
