Annual brochure for Alberta Ballet
First page introduction copy:

We are both the canvas and the painter.
The sculptor and the stone.
Forging tools within ourselves.
Pounding rough movements smooth.
Tearing down. Rebuilding.
And creating the framework that holds us aloft.
Our galleries appear empty, but they’re
covered in an invisible mosaic of history.
covered in an invisible mosaic of history.
The Italian’s reinterpretation of fencing.
Ballet’s official birthplace in Paris.
Diaghilev’s lifesaving resurrection.
Balanchine. Tchaikovsky. Shakespeare.
And the 45 years of dancers who came before us.
All glimmering somewhere in every muscle of our company.
Waiting to be released. Yearning to be seen.
Ready for the lights to dim, the curtain to rise,
and the artwork to come alive.
and the artwork to come alive.
