Berkeley Ballet Theater presents Available Light, a livestream performance featuring a collection of original dance, music, and film collaborations.
In photography and cinematography, the term available light refers to any naturally occurring light source, such as the sun or moon. BBT's Available Light program captures the spirit of finding the light which is constantly available to all of us.
Available Light features the dancers of BBT's Youth Division, Studio Company, and Adult Open Division, with guest artists from Post:ballet.
