We asked the choreographers whose works will be presented in Ballet Chicago's Platinum Anniversary Concerts on May 6 to choose a photo from their piece, and give us an inside look at what that photo captures -- about the Ballet Chicago Studio Company performers, about the Company's vision, and about their own perspective.
The Ballet Chicago Studio Company is celebrating its Twentieth Anniversary on Mary 6 with two concerts at the Harris Theater, with a characteristically promising program. DancerMusic asked Ballet Chicago about this remarkable accomplishment. Here's what they had to say:

Music video can be such a dubious art, but this brand new one from French artist FKJ is a gem.
This video is amazing--it's like a nature program, or a spiritual film, interspersed with shots of Irish lovers, Irish children, and Irish farmers.
My friend Andrew just linked me to this amazing song by Norwegian rapper Kjartan Lauritzen.
