Can-Can
I was told to make the picture, not any one of a zillion lame jokes about “The End”
Sunday Evening “Anastasia” Cary Ballet Conservatory
Pas de Quatre
The immediacy of tomorrow morning only allows time to sample performance images made today.
I like this one a lot.
Saturday Matinee “Anastasia” Cary Ballet Conservatory
Tiny Dancers #1
Three pre-ballet students in animated conversation before dress rehearsal. Excitement was in the air.
Winter #3
It’s not magic, its Ballet. Which sometimes seems so.
Winter #2
Ironically, this was performed last June in the production of “Anastasia” by the Cary Ballet Company. Projected lighting gave it an ethereal quality made powerful by a haunting cello. Sometimes it takes awhile to see a photograph.
Just One Look

“Anastasia” in Monochrome
The staging for this scene, “Once Upon A December”, was visually compelling. Through five performances, two dancers alternately danced the role of “Anastasia”, each beautifully, each differently. This is Ms. Breanna Johnson.
Corps de Ballet #2

Corps de Ballet #1
Photographed at the 18 June performance of “Anastasia”, a production of the Ballet and Jazz Companies of the Cary Ballet Conservatory. Yet another reason I’m taking so long to edit the performance photographs.
Grandeur
Theater, especially Ballet, is capable of grandeur.

Young Anastasia
Anastasia
This young lady is one of two who danced the role of the young “Anastasia”, a production of the Ballet and Jazz Companies of the Cary Ballet Conservatory. I’m a few days into editing a digital mountain of rehearsal and performance photographs. When I reach one like this, my productivity falls off, dramatically.
“Anastasia”
"Anastasia"
The Cary Ballet Conservatory recital of “Anastasia” is being performed today, Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Hanes Theater, Chapel Hill High School, 1709 High School Rd. Chapel Hill, NC. It’s a wonderful production of a great story.
