‘Balancing Acts’ Intimate Ballerina Photo Exhibition | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

In Balancing Acts, photographer Lucy Gray takes readers on an unforgettable fourteen-year journey with these ballerinas and their families, providing both an intimate backstage look into the workings of a top ballet company and an examination of the everyday challenges and joys familiar to mothers everywhere.

In over one hundred dramatic black-and white photographs, Gray documents their struggles to balance the demands of family and work—from their tireless preparation in rehearsals and dazzling mastery of craft displayed on stage, to their time spent relaxing at home with family and even while giving birth. The book also features candid and revealing interviews with the dancers and their families, plus a foreword by New Yorker critic Hilton Als.
