smallhobbit | Fandom 50 (39): Swan Lake

The swans are very impressive and convey the power of a swan, with several of the movements taken directly from those of a swan and in particular the agressive nature of a male swan when his family are present. And while the Prince is the main character in this version, it's the Swan's presence which dominates whenever he is on stage.

The Prince had watched transfixed as the swans left the lake and created beautiful patterns on the grass in front of him. And then the Swan, the chief swan, had joined them and somehow he had been welcomed into their midst. He tried to capture the moment, that indescribable point when he was gathered up within the Swan’s wings and for the first time he felt safe and loved. This was what he had always wanted and never found until in the middle of these feathered beauty. He sensed the power around him and the freedom to finally be himself.
