and choreographing on paper
before five weeks of “intensive
dance time. After that initial run,
they took a rest and then did it
again a few years later with re-
finements. Toni explains, “The
dancers themselves bring differ-
ent ideas to the productions."
Dancer Ann Rogers has been with
Eugene Ballet the longest, seven
years. Lead dancer Yen-Li Chen,
as Juliet, joined the company this
season. Scott Adam, who played
Romeo, is in his third season with
the Eugene Ballet.

On the day of the Terrace per-
formance, the technical crew
started work at the theatre at 8
am.,: setting lights and sound,
hanging backdrops and placing
props.. At 3:30 the dancers
gathered for warm up’ exercises,
followed by a rehearsal of the
performance. Forty-five minutes
before curtain call, the dancers
went to their dressing rooms to
ready themselves for the perform-
‘ance. The Eugene Dance Com-
pany danced magically and

meticulously, except for a. minor
glitch with their music in the first
act: when the tape broke, the
troupe danced for almost a min-
ute in silence before the curtains
closed. A brief explanation was
given, 2 new tape was cued and
the performance proceeded.
Upon their return to Eugene,
Eugene Ballet will be presenting
Celebration of the Uncommon
Woman. Toni is gathering
together a group of all-women

composers and choreographers.
