Schindler's List

Sometimes ballet is an overwhelming outpouring of pure joy. Sometimes ballet speaks to tragedy and sorrow. But whether it is simply a showcase of technique or follows a true narrative, ballet always tells a story.

This photo was from our student thesis presentation on May 1 at the university.  It was choreographed by my friend and fellow student, Vanessa. She set this work to Theme from Schindler's List composed by John Williams. The dancers wore our hair long, tied back with a version of eastern-European babushkas created by the costume department.
