Lauri Stallings

A couple of days ago I wrote a blog called Do It Differently. It was about taking portraits of musicians with their instruments while avoiding clichés. The violinist Karen Gerbrecht and I coined the expression “the anti-violinist.

I worked with modern dancer (now in Atlanta) Lauri Stallings when she was in Ballet BC with the subject “the anti-ballerina”. Too often we discussed how ballerinas are often compared to swans. Stallings told me that ballerinas had periods and they sweated.

I was lucky to have met Stallings who moved to Georgia and started her own company.
