Festival Ballet Providence has been presenting a gala performance, Together We Dance, for the last five years. It brings world-class ballet performers to Providence to delight the audiences. In this very delayed posts I present photographs I took on the day of the performance. With the exception of 3-4 photographs, they are all taken during the live performance. I tried to get the dancers pick the photographs they would like me to present and many helped me with that (marked with an *). The rest I picked based on my photographic and admittedly limited ballet sensibilities. Here is the program in sequence:
- Adaptive Dance Students
- Tchaikovsky Pas Des Deux, Vilia Putrius and Mindaugas Bauzys (*)
- Summer, Greta Hodgkinson Etienne Lavigne (*)
- FBP School Dancers
- Viscera, Emily Bromberg and Shimon Ito
- Heaven Can Wait; Ilya Burow, Alex Lanz, Ian Matysiak
- Romeo and Juliet, Megan Zimny Kaftira and Remi Wörtmeyer (*)
- Disarmed, Greta Hodgkinson (*)
- Black Swan, Ashley Ellis and Nelson Madrigal (*)
- In Passing; Ruth Whitney, Alan Alberto, Emily Loscoco, Harunaga Yamakawa
- Pieta, Vilia Putrius and Mindaugas Bauzys (*)
- Don Quixote, Megan Zimny Kaftira and Remi Wörtmeyer (*)
For more detailed information please refer to the FBP press release. And enjoy the photographs with a fair warning that there are about 100 photographs in the gallery. However, keep in mind that altogether these photographs represent no more than a total of a couple of minutes at best from the great performance. You should plan to see the whole thing next year.
I had two of the pieces featured earlier, Disarmed and Pieta. You can view the related posts for more photographs from those pieces.
