Meet Amanda, but she'll be Annette this weekend and next at Mud Creek.

In God of Carnage, Annette arrives ready to play nice - armed with manners, martinis, and a very tight grip on civility. But when tensions rise, the mask slips, the gloves come off, and things get deliciously unhinged. Watching Annette unravel is half the fun.

I had the absolute pleasure of photographing Dance Kaleidoscope's production of Arresting Momentum last weekend at the Tobias Theater. It was incredible!! Their next show is April 17th-19th at the Schrott.

I can't wait for dress rehearsal tomorrow night!!!
Prepare for "Ethereal Blue to Fiery Red," a breathtaking production from Indianapolis Ballet that dives into the ultimate contrast of the human spirit.

💙 Ethereal: "Serenade," George Balanchine
A sea of blue tulle and moonlit elegance. Classical purity at its most luminous, poetry in motion. To follow is Balanchine’s energetic “Valse-Fantaisie,” set to the score by Mikhail Glinka.

❤️‍🔥 Fiery: "Bolero: au Fou," Francis Veyette
Set to Ravel’s legendary score, this electrifying work builds to a rhythmic explosion of passion, power, and intensity.

🥂 Milestone: "Waltz of the Hours," Jacqueline Hodek
A special performance of "Waltz of the Hours" by the Indianapolis School of Ballet, celebrating 20 years of excellence in our community.

Experience the grace, feel the fire.

✨ From the studio to the stage (and now, in front of the lens). ✨

Meet Julia North, a former pre-professional ballet dancer who found her way back to the art she loves. After winning a Moonbug Photography session at the Indy Dance Festival, Julia stepped back into the spotlight with grace, strength, and a touch of nostalgia.
