~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Virginia Strom Precourt always looked for the “off” moment—singular moments of quiet when her subjects stepped off center stage into the kind of private contemplation that she valued. Even in the frenzied activity of Boston’s Cyclorama ballet room, Virginia would find the student who was doing more than just catching her breath. And, in that instance, “Rehearsal Break” offers an intimate life study.
