What a beautifully tragic story, with amazing performances by everyone in the company. As much as I love language and words, it was so refreshing to see what can be communicated through the body, music, and expression. It spoke volumes to me.

No Ugly Duckling
This afternoon I went to UC Berkeley to see a performance of "Swan Lake", by the Tchaikovsky Perm Ballet & Orchestra. Polina Semionova, a 24-year old Russian ballerina who dances with the Berlin StaatsBallett, was the special guest artist performing the role of Odette/Odile. She was riveting to watch - with incredible technique and passion beyond her years. It's no wonder that she was made a prima ballerina at only 18 years old!
