Rehearsal for SDB's Romeo et Juliet. Photographer: Gregory Olive. Dancers: Caitlyn Ross, Arielle Meads, Meghan Evertz. So the "Greek" chorus comes back to move the ballet forward.

Daily Stuff - For some reason, yesterday's post posted in the wrong place. But you can see it now underneath this one. Today, we worked Abby into her old part of Rosaline. And she just slipped right into it. I have to mention something here. So much is made of unstable artists ( a la Black Swan), but those are actually the artists that you DON'T want in your company. You can't have every performance depending on whether some on-the-edge, freaked out dancer is going to be coasting on this side of sanity. Dance companies need to have artists who can be trusted to perform night after night, in a variety of conditions, good or bad. Just like employees at any other job. :)
