Principal Dancer · Pacific Northwest Ballet
I always do a lot of studying into the history of something, if I feel like that is going to help me. And then, if that's not going to help me, I make up a story. I do a lot of different things for each role and each performance, and sometimes when I repeat something something else will come through. So it really changes every single time.
