– Betsy and Joel Sobo

“The program was well thought out with a beautiful serene start of Pastoral Pause, followed by a fierce tour de force of the world premiere of ‘NOW’ and closing out with the most uplifting, fun finale of ‘Prima!’. Thank you, Carolyn and the dancers for allowing us to experience such a journey.” – Joan Chiang Paulin

There are two images split down the middle for this visual. On the left side there is a smiling couple. One male on the left side with gray hair combed to the side with a grey suit and white button up and a yellow and green patterned tie. Next to the older white male is an older female with short trimmed reddish hair wearing a flower printed dress in all navy blue. On the right side of the image there are four individuals, two of them are males and two are females. They are all posing for a picture attached arm to arm.
