COVER STORY/MUSEUMS

“I had one audition where this woman went, ‘Can you do RP?’ I must have looked blank, because she said, ‘Do you know what that stands for?’ And I go, ‘Right posh?’ I remember her saying , ‘Well, it kind of does.’ But people seemed willing to take a chance on me. I was lucky like that.” THE Breeziness may be a Smith trade- mark, but she has learnt to recognise that it can be deceptive — to her as well as others. She was reminded of this when she walked on set to record the ITV special, “and there’s my name in lights. All I could think was, ‘You’re joking. Who wants to know all this about me?’ Obviously, there are going V&A’S to be people who say, ‘My, she’s put on weight,’ she’s this, she’s that.

8 15 October 2017 involved in taking these joyless pictures. Once he’d clicked the shutter, how did he succeed in getting over to the furniture, adopting the silly poses, and still manage to make the effort look so unhurried and dreary? It turns out to be the only time that Ruff features himself in his photography. The pictures with which he first made his name were the huge, minutely detailed portraits of his friends and students produced between 1981 and 1991, and they remain his most haunting work. Their atmosphere is the atmosphere of the photo booth. The sitters are presented as a head and shoulders, unsmiling, staring straight ahead, against a white background. But where photo-booth portraits are tiny and vague, Ruff’s giant loomings give his ordinary German sitters the monumental presence of an Easter Island head. Looking at them becomes a process of getting lost in a stranger’s face. The references to photo booths are typical. Most of the thematic clusters in the show are as concerned with how an image was achieved as with what it presents. Ruff roams from porn films to surveillance cameras, from the face- recognition machines used by the West German police to old industrial photography rescued from a deserted factory. So interested is he in photographic processes that he sometimes forgets the hardest and fastest of all

He gave me a confi dence that carried me for the rest of my career.” Bussell was only 19 when MacMillan plucked her from the ranks to create the leading role in The Prince of the Pagodas. She became a famous inter- preter of his work — one of a long line of dancers whose careers he nurtured and whose qualities he drew on as he made the dazzling ballets, including Romeo and Juliet , Manon and Song of the Earth , that are now the bedrock of the British repertory.

He filled in the scene like a theatre director, then gave us a lot of responsibility in finding our way.

That was quite clear. He didn’t tell you what to do. He trusted your instincts. One of the good bits of advice he gave me was, don’t be afraid to be ugly . The other was that you’ve got to find your light, otherwise there’s no point going on.”

Darcey Bussell, Royal Ballet 1988-2007 She found MacMillan daunting at first : “ I felt I mustn’t show any weakness. But it got to such a state that I would leave every rehearsal thinking it was a disaster. Later, it was completely different. He came to my 21st and just sat with Deborah on a sofa and observed. Gradually I was able to show a bit more of myself.” He made her the central character in Winter Dreams , his adaptation of Chekhov, and she performed in the first night of a revival of Song of the Earth. “When I came off stage, I just burst into tears. It was the first time I got so sucked into a role that I forgot there was an audience. I never forgot that moment.”

Antoinette Sibley, Royal Ballet 1956-88 The delicate ballerina created the role of Manon. “In rehearsals, Kenneth worked so fast. He had an idea of what he wanted to achieve and would get us to try things, then change it if it didn’t work. He was able to show us what he wanted — and he could do it so much better than you ever could, so you had to pull your weight.”

Viviana Durante, Royal Ballet 1984-2000 Durante created parts in Winter Dreams and MacMillan’s final ballet, The Judas Tree . “I think each one of his ballets celebrates women,” she says. “He puts them at the centre of the story — he loved women and was very in tune with their feelings.” She was performing Mayerling opposite Mukhamedov on the night MacMillan
