Theatrical Design

Designed for the Comedy Theatre in Romania in the 1960's and 1970's, these program covers have an organic charm and bizarre sense of whimsy that is often hard to find in our slick modern world- and they really do the trick in making me want to see the plays. See more covers here.

Vail International Dance Festival

The Vail International Dance Festival is an annual event in the Rocky Mountains. This year, the program will run from 27 July – 11 August 2009 in the Gerald R. Ford Amphitheatre at the Vilar Performing Arts Center under the artistic director Damian Woetzel. Woetzel was a principal dancer at the New York City Ballet for 19 years, at which time he earned a master’s in public administration from Harvard’s Kennedy School. He is most notably known now for breathing life into every performance he directs.

The gorgeous background of the mountains makes for breathtaking performances. Some noteworthy shows this summer include the new work from Christopher Wheeldon’s company, Morphoses, and dancer Savion Glover with the Miami Ballet.
