Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Dance appetizer: The National Ballet's Karen Kain took off her pointe shoes to weave her way with Frank Augustyn through Diary, a melding of modern dance and ballet that closed the first part of the ballet gala on Friday. Diary, created by Lynn Taylor-Corbett to songs by Judith Lander, was the last of seven short dances that introduced a full scale production of La Sylphide.
