The strength, vulnerability, grace, and beauty that dancers achieve, seemingly without effort, is vividly illustrated in this photographic record of the Australian Ballet. The 160 black-and-white photographs show the company liberated from the formal restraint of the performance, celebrating the essence of the human body in moments of flight and repose.
