Silhouette of Grace

Imagine a wistful love story seen only from the perspective of a silent observer – a statue in a ballet conservatory.

This audacious prompt suggests telling a story despite limitations in interaction and voice, portraying emotions and relationships entirely through the physical vocabulary of dance. The silent observer watches, interprets, and narrates the evolving love story without conversation. How does the ballet, with its elegant movements and expressions, become a language of love? How does the statue, a silent, unchanging, yet sentient entity, perceive and interpret these nuances of emotion?
