More... North Carolina Dance Theatre (#45)

More photos from the North Carolina Dance Theatre's performance with the Chautauqua Symphony Orchestra from August 9th.

*Photos one and four ran in the Daily.

**I really like the last photo in the bunch. I know it's not quite perfect, but it's so close. I love the front dancer. That leap is beautiful.

Otis Moss III (#44)

Wednesday morning he gave a sermon on "dancing in the darkness" -- finding bits of hope in our most hopeless situations -- how there cannot be healing without pain -- there cannot be joy without first suffering.

Not your average sprinkler (#41)

Thursday morning, a fireman from the Chautauqua Fire Department drove a firetruck to the Children's School, gave talks about fire safety, and let the kids climb through the truck.




Then, he took the hose off of the truck and sprayed it over the entire Children's School playground, letting the kids run around underneath. It was a really funny sight.
