Description: A ballet for eight dancers inspired by family photographs taken at a cove on Long Island Sound __________ Commissioned by Burklyn Ballet Theatre

It was almost a short story ballet, and the personal emotions of the characters became clear through their dance." -Jim Lowe, Ballet Review, Times Argus, July 2, 2001
