COPPELIA:
Swanilda (played by Canton senior Kate
Geary) dances during "Swanilda's Friends," a
scene from Act I of Leo Delibes' comic
ballet, "Coppelia,"
in Pease Auditorium. Background dancers
(above, from left) are Springer Stevens,
a senior from Redford; Kristen Hallberg,
a senior from Bellaire; Emma Grabarczyk,
a sophomore from Crystal Falls; and Adrienne
Mork, a senior from Sandusky, Ohio. Eastern
Michigan University's Dance Program and
the Symphony Orchestra performed the full
ballet the evening of Dec. 5, with one-hour
programs for students in grades 1-8 presented
earlier that day. The comic story included
love, mistaken identity and a mysterious
lonely doctor.
