#美国艺术家#米斯蒂·科普兰(Misty Copeland)十三岁时被当地社区中心的一名芭蕾教师发现。那时她从未接触过芭蕾,而是疲于生存 − 当时她和母亲还有五个兄弟姐妹住在一间汽车旅馆的房间里,晚上挤在地板上几乎没地方睡觉。事实证明科普兰是个芭蕾神童。经过短短一年的培训,她就成了专业舞者,这对任何古典舞者来说都是前所未闻的。随后她加入了美国芭蕾舞剧院,并作为历史上第一位在《天鹅湖》中担纲主角的黑人女性舞者而创造了历史。2015年,科普兰作为世界最有影响力的人物之一登上时代杂志的封面。不久之后,她成为美国芭蕾舞剧院有史以来第一位黑人女性首席舞者。如今,科普兰或许是世界最著名的芭蕾舞演员。哪位艺术家的成名之路激励了你呢? 


#American Artist - Misty Copeland


When Misty Copeland was discovered at age thirteen by a ballet instructor at a local community center, she had no previous exposure to the art form. Instead, Copeland’s thoughts were consumed with surviving—at the time she was living in a single motel room with her mother and five siblings, who struggled at night for space to sleep on the floor. Copeland proved to be a ballet prodigy: within just a year of training she was performing professionally—unheard of for any classical dancer. She went on to join the American Ballet Theatre and make history as the first black woman to dance the lead role in Swan Lake. In 2015, Copeland graced the cover of TIME Magazine, which profiled her as one of the world’s most influential people, and shortly after, she became the American Ballet Theatre’s first-ever black female Principal Dancer. Today, Copeland is perhaps the world’s most famous ballerina.
