After two weeks and 13 performances, our run of The Sleeping Beauty came to a close last night. Here’s a brief glimpse at what was happening behind the scenes.
Savannah and Saskia apply their make up in the girls’ dressing room.
Robbie poses in his fairy cavalier costume before heading down to the stage level.
Devin checks to make sure his faux goatee is firmly in place.
The lovely Dena prepares to perform the role of the queen by having her wig and crown put on. Dena, Saskia and I all shared this role, so I can tell you from personal experience that this headpiece isn’t light!
Alina in her wonderful cat make up and headpiece.
Faye and Ashley share a quick hug backstage amongst the brambles.
A conversation in the wings.

Gwyneth…
Thanks for the lovely pictures. Is everyone excited that “Sleeping Beauty” is finished? I know I am — let the Winter Rep begin!
Hope you have a good rest of the season, I’ll be in the audience a lot!

Thank you, AGAIN, Gwyneth for the excellent and very enjoyable photos. I saw each cast of BEAUTY once (six performances altogether) and these pictures are very meaningful to me, especially since some of my favorite dancers are shown.
Looking forward to the Stravinsky ballets tonight and to about twenty performances thru the end of February.
Merde!!! to all the dancers…
