Ashleigh Wilson is a ballerina and dancer from South Africa. She moved to Europe, Germany and she came first to Dresden then 8 months ago moved to Berlin.
She discovered her passion for dance at the age of 18, which pushed her into the challenge of working 12 hours a day, to catch up time. As we know, most classical dancers start training at a very young age. Nevertheless her talent and qualities have allowed her to become a professional dancer, and Ashleigh has recently joined the Fehrnseh Ballet from Berlin.
She likes to discover new techniques and experience collaborations. She says: "they expand her possibilities as a dancer". In this respect, she is always watching other dancers, live or on dvds or on youtube... She has a good physical memory and intergrates moves very fast. All this hard work is to improve always her dancing. She is very ambitious and would like to achieve something with her art.
She has developed a strong attitude towards the tough environment of ballet, where competition is very extreme. Alike most dancers, she trains a daily minimum of three hours and works on choreographies.
She recently performed in the "We Support Tacheles" party and also in the Hauptbahnhof in Berlin.
She explained how hard it can be in the ballet class and how much she has been working to reach her goals. She has many dreams and lives her life open to opportunities and exchange. She shared important moments of her life in South Africa, where she helped the disadvantaged and believes in change and improvement of life conditions there.
This has taught her determination. And she develops it with the practice of buddhist meditations. She hopes to feel compassion and understanding towards those who are not as fortunate as her. She would like to grow from this stay in Europe. She has a clear view of the world and is curious about everything.
She discovered the Kunsthaus Tacheles because of her performance and really loves this space. Today she comes regularly to dance with friends and dancers. She always tries to support, with her smile and charm, whatever she believes in.
To conclude the interview, she performed in the New Gallery in the Kunsthaus Tacheles, with her friend dancer, met in Dresden, George Hill. They both put together the choreography in two days, and she chose the South African National Anthem.
She is faithfull to herself and to her country... It was a suprising moment.
AMAZING! What an exceptional human being. Be ready for the impact this girl will bring, to the world, and to your heart!
