'Up Up and Away' - Lauren Pschirrer, Smuin Ballet

            The Smuin Contemporary Ballet, formerly known as Smuin Ballet, is a touring ballet company based in San Francisco, California and founded in 1994 by Michael Smuin, a former dancer, choreographer and co-artistic director[ with the San Francisco Ballet.  Lauren Pschirrer graduated from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts and apprenticed at Rochester City Ballet and The Joffrey Ballet.  Pschirrer joined Smuin in 2016.

Ballet is a volatile mix of fragile beauty and formidable athleticism. Nowhere is this more apparent than in the leaps.  Leaps involve traveling, movement across the stage. There are only a few genuine leaps, but they are attention-grabbers.

There are five types of ballet jumps. One of these jumps, the 'Jete', have it for sheer impressiveness, simultaneously soaring skyward and covering great distances across the stage. But leaps are show-off stuff, typically reserved for soloists or principals who explode or glide in a blur of perfectly placed arms, legs and head that rivets the audience's attention. The women are fierce or fairytale birds, and exuberant or desperate romantic heroines. And male ballet dancers deliver their own breathtaking star turns with bravura barrel turns.
