Interview with Patti

[Legs11]

Hello - I've been a long-time lurker. Like many others, I found this website when TOTP76 started and have been a regular visitor ever since.

Anyway, I found an interview with Patti Hammond when she was in Legs and Co. It's from a book called The Performing World of the Dancer.https://archive.org/stream/performingworldo00dodd


Apologies if this link has been published before, but it is a great interview.





I am happy to publish the rest, probably tomorrow!

Hi, Legs11. Gosh, you have been a long time lurker haven't you! Good that you finally made it on here.
Interesting interview. I don't think I have read this before, although there is so much on this site that I have lost track of what we have. I look forward to reading more when you are able to put it up.

Thanks so much for this Legs11 and welcome to the light side

I would say this is new to this site or any other as far as I know, great find. Interesting account from Patti on why she left ballet, think I've read other accounts where she said it was because she had probably reached a career plateau. Will be very interested in any account of her audition for Ruby Flipper

Fascinated read and welcome to OFTDs Legs11. Not sure ive heard the word `arabesques` before but im not surprised that Patti could perform high ones !!

Good stuff and im looking forward to reading more.

Welcome to the site at last Legs11. Good move and an excellent gift to say hello with. A nice surprise to find this previously unknown career resumé from Patti, I'm certainly hungry for the second installment.

Thanks Legs11. A great find, and a fascinating interview. Look forward to seeing more.

Thanks again, Legs11, I enjoyed reading that. Perhaps in due course we should archive it somewhere so it doesn't get lost.

[Legsfan]

Thanks Legs11. It is very interesting. Thank you for posting.

[RYAN]

Yes a fascinating read Legs11 and thanks for sharing it with us. So we glean another snippet of Legs info. Patti is tonsil-less !

Thanks again from me too Legs11.  Seems like a heartfelt, honest and rather self-effacing account as I'd expect from this quality lady
