How beautiful it is to witness the growth and development of such talent! A year after his first interview with Core De Ballet, Guillaume Diop made us the honor to share with us everything he has learned throughout his first 18 months as a professional ballet dancer at Paris Opera.
In this more recent interview (recorded Dec 2019) Guillaume goes more in depth and tells us what has changed and remained the same since he joined the company. We also got to discuss what he is now looking forward to for the rest of his career! As usual, we shifted from the most silly jokes to the very serious conversations such as the use of makeup to change dancers’ skin colors on stage.
