BEHIND-THE-SCENES // This week, we take a moment to reflect upon the extraordinary time we had filming our upcoming virtual performance Moving Forward. With safety precautions properly taken, our artists were able to enjoy dancing together for an audience, be it virtual, once again. Dancers in Geoff Gonzalez’s ‘The Fates’ Photo by: Sophie Robertson

DARK ROOM SERIES 3 // ‘Midnight Underground’ will take you back to the days of smokey cabarets. Performed by three longtime company members Natalie Test, Kyla Myers, and Karissa Myers, DRS3 highlights the relationship each artist has to the ballet and the bittersweet, finite time one has the ability to dance. This week, Choreographer Geoff Gonzalez works tirelessly to bring his visions to life through film, giving these newly retired dancers the chance to take one final bow. Photo by: Sophie Robertson
