DescriptionThrough photographs and interviews, Balancing Acts chronicles thirteen years in the often-dramatic lives of three principal dancers in the San Francisco Ballet (Kristin Long, Tina LeBlanc, and Katita Waldo) who continued to dance after becoming mothers. The book provides both an intimate backstage look at the inner workings of a world-class ballet company, and an examination of the challenges and joys that the 70% of employed mothers all face in common. Author descriptionLucy Gray is an award-winning photographer whose work has been featured in the New York Times, the (Sunday) Independent, Mother Jones, Brick, Dance Magazine, and Salon.com, as well as in exhibitions and projects across the United States. She began photographing the ballerinas in Balancing Acts in 1999. |
