The students were asked to interpret what the paintings meant to them through dance. The final piece, which was recorded for public viewing, combined classical ballet solos and rhythmic pieces. “This the Academy’s fifth performance during the novel pandemic," Academy Director Kathleen Martin said. "It marks the one-year anniversary of our first lockdown. This time last year we were sitting at home, stagnant. A year later, here we are growing, moving and performing.”
