“Manèges” by Aaron Brewer
In anticipation of the upcoming ballet “Midsummer Night’s Dream,” we teamed up with Hot Springs Children’s Dance Theatre Company director, Edmond Cooper, who brought on board our local and very talented photographer, Aaron Brewer, to craft this captivating cover, titles “Manèges.”
Nine dancers lent their artistry to the project. To identify them, moving clockwise – begin at the “N” in Springs: Anabel Flores, Claire Powell, Kylie Tobin, Chloe Powell, Claire Cleveland, Martina Flores. Tabitha Uldrich, Scarlett San Andres, and Emma Millard.
We were particularly drawn to the authenticity captured in the worn, slightly frayed ballet shoes compared with their sleek, newer counterparts – each pair with its own story to tell. This contrast highlights the inherent challenges of ballet, despite its seemingly effortless execution by dancers.
We extend our gratitude to all who contributed, culminating in yet a remarkable and dramatic magazine cover. Special thanks to Erin Baber for her perfect layout.
See page 3 for another photo of the dancers where you’ll also find information about dates and times for the ballet. Tickets are on sale now!
Until next month… Best to you all from The Springs Magazine Team! And remember… Shop Local!
