Ms. Vicky just returned back to Indianapolis after visiting Eric in Colorado, where he's interning for the summer with the Aspen Music Festival and School (and starting a full-time position there in January!). While there, they took a trip to the Vail International Dance Festival to see a stunning performance by Pacific Northwest Ballet.
James Leitner, ISB's treasured guest lighting director for The Nutcracker and May...We Dance!, has been in charge of making the Vail International Dance Festival shine for years. He and Ms. Victoria have been great colleagues and friends since their days together in Pennsylvania Ballet. What a wonderful opportunity to meet up with each other in Colorado! Mr. Leitner will be returning to Indy in December for our 2008 Nutcracker performances.
PNB's program was an eclectic and exciting mix, from Jerome Robbins' charming Fancy Free (music by Leonard Bernstein) to David Parsons' visually stunning contemporary work, Caught. Caught is a men's solo piece that juxtaposes quick, smooth movements with strobe lighting for truly unreal effects. It's one of the coolest, most jaw-dropping performances to see live!
