...poetry is form and movement...Sonoya...

"Contrary to vulgar legend the lives of great ballerinas are not entirely given up to a few minutes of graceful movement every night followed by champagne drunk out of their toeshoes till dawn, in the company of financiers ... no, most of their time is spent in filthy rehearsal halls, inhaling dust, or else in class, daily, year in year out, practicing, practicing even after they are already prima ballerinas." - GORE VIDAL, Death in the Fifth Position

Sonoya Mizuno

"On the other hand I do see how different it is. Ballet is something for which you need so much control and composure. And there's an element to acting that is the complete opposite. You have to be able to completely let go and reveal everything about yourself. It's about being very vulnerable." - Sonoya

With Sonoya, she naturally draws upon those tremulous strings in her movement.  She is telling a story with her movement.  It is not necessarily her beauty or her face: she hardly 
makes a change there, as if it is a mask.  It is her control and expression of body that is poetry.

She has a role in Alex Garland's Ex Machina, released on April 10th.
