To launch the 2015 – 2016 Season, Cincinnati Ballet teamed up with photographer Aaron M. Conway to capture the movement and emotion of each performance. Principal Dancer Janessa Touchet and Cervilio Amador spent hours in a freezing cold warehouse to get these shots for The Kaplan Series New Works.

Between poses, Janessa and Cervilio had to put on boots and drape themselves in blankets around industrial heaters, but it doesn’t show in their stoic faces. Of all the various locations used for our 2015 – 2016 photo shoot this set was a favorite of the crew.
