Exclusive Sneak Peek: "Jewels" Photo

Have you gotten your April/May issue of Pointe yet? Click on the photo at right for an exclusive sneak peek. It’s an outtake from Jim Lafferty’s photo essay, which chronicles Ballet West, Nevada Ballet Theatre and Pacific Northwest Ballet’s historic shared production of George Balanchine’s Jewels. Lafferty captured the dancers backstage: warming up in company class, soaring in performance. The result is a kind of magical series of intimate images. Keep your eyes peeled for the full feature.
