When I was a student at SAB, Daniel Baker (now of the Miami City Ballet) choreographed this ballet called Nightminds on Maira Barriga (also now of the MCB) and myself. It was a haunting, sensual pas de duex filled with relatively intense apprehension and desperate human emotion. It was such a cool piece that MCB ended up commissioning him to stage it on the company this past year.

Is it weird to think that a piece that was choreographed on you, is going to be performed by someone else? Beautiful photo

Nightminds definitely sounds and looks intense (and what a cool name for a ballet!). It’s great that SAB gives students the opportunity to pursue choreography and actually set a piece on their peers. Did you get to see a video or photos from the MCB performance?
