Two-time world champion Evgenia Medvedeva spoke regarding the upcoming performances in ice shows.
– You said that Ilya Averbukh wants to separate you so that everyone has time?
– This joke was born because last year we skated the Snow Queen, where I was Gerda. This year, this role is played by Liza Tuktamysheva, and I got the role of Dorothy, which I also already played. Involuntarily, a joke was born.
The role of Dorothy was three years ago. How quickly did you remember everything?
I remembered this number in ten minutes. If there is a production from the beginning, it just needs to be slightly modified. Three years ago, we worked a bit in a force majeure situation – there were problems with the skates. And in general, the production was a lot of stress for me.
We are very lucky that we have rehearsals. I clearly know when I go out on the ice and what number I will skate. There were problems with this. Today is the third rehearsal. Before the premiere, four or five more rehearsals will be enough.
For me, the most important thing is to lift one jump, because I devoted a lot of time to the “Ice Age”. There were a lot of working things off the ice, I didn’t jump for several months.
Now it is very important for me to pay attention to jumping. But it’s pretty easy, two or three workouts – and everything will be fine, – said Medvedeva.
