envolée lyrique.

Envolée Lyrique is a literate, no wordcount site with a freestyle application, set in Paris at the Académie Ballet Nationale and its adjoining ballet company.

(as the site is already open, this isn't really a "site buzz" tumblr. it's more of a way to attract potential members and give a more interactive site experience)

—- baudet : baudet is an international ballet star, and she loves it. she loves the publicity, she loves the attention, and the fact that everyone submits without question to her will. she is, to all appearances, a diva. however, she has a past which fuels all this behavior. she has been keeping a dark secret. since she pushed her father down the stairs and broke his neck after he came home and repeatedly hit her (it was deemed an accident), she has heard voices in her head. she knows, most of the time, that they are not real, but sometimes they make her do things which frighten and shock her. Since her career is too important for her to simply give up, she tries to function as best she can, but how will she react at the increased attentions of her anonymous admirer, josse?
—- lizot : lizot is an intellectual dancer. he reads, he researches. therefore, he feels even more acutely because he really becomes his character. this overwhelming emotion has lead him to a number of suicide attempts, which his best friend and sometime lover Bonnevie has tried to save him from.
—- beaufoy : beaufoy is one of the classic ballerina’s in the company, famed for her grace and poise. she has begun an affair with one of the corphyees, mancion, and is contemplating leaving her two children and husband for him.
—- mancion : it isn’t that mancion doesn’t love beaufoy - he does as much as his self love permits, in a sensual, impersonal sense. and although he is with her to help his career, he has no idea of leaving her, as long as he is able to continue other dalliances alongside.

feel free to reserve canons and face claims through the tumblr - i’ll transfer them over to the site!

—- roudier : roudier is one of the most talented students at the academy, destined for fame since he was a child. his technique may be flawless, but his personality is increasingly getting in the way: impulsive, hard-headed and prone to fits of rage, his future at the company is threatened by his wild behavior, especially since orfevre has taken an extreme dislike to him and will try and stop him getting into the company.
—- tessier : tessier is the illegitimate child of the director, moureau. he had nothing to do with her until she was nine, and then he gave her the only thing he could: ballet. she is talented, more so than his own son, but her relationship with her family is difficult. there are constant power struggles with her father and barbed taunts between her and her brother.
—- moureau : moureau is extraordinarily gentle, far, far too much for the tough world of ballet. Furthermore, he’s inherited none of his father’s dazzling talent to perform or to dance. when he was five his mother ran away and left him with the man who he had never met before, his father. his gratitude is such that he worships him, and would do anything to please him.
—- fedorov : fedorov is beautiful but aloof. isolated by cold reserve and a frail grasp of french, she throws herself into her dance with all the more determination. a passionate affair between her and her married teacher can only lead to disaster.

thanks to all of our followers! <3 we’ve got five so far and would really appreciate some more.
