Pictures Talk: Two / by Francisco Graciano

Possibly my favorite image.  The moment of eye contact prior to walking on stage for a duet symbolizes the human connection and vulnerability that makes dancing in this company so special.  If you're not in a dance then you're backstage watching and never with obligation.  The unwavering support each dancer demonstrates makes this a place like no other.  Pictured here are Robert Kleinendorst and Laura Halzack in Paul Taylor's Mercuric Tidings.
