During the first lecture, Professor Schultes showed a slide of what appeared to be three Indians in grass skirts and bark-cloth masks dancing under the influence of some kind of potion. "The one on the left has a Harvard degree," the professor said, pointing out how far some ethnobotanists will go to pursue their research. That was when Plotkin, now 43, decided he had found his calling...

...here proves that she, too, can turn simple steps into flowing movements as she lets her character's emotions make her image softer and more beautiful. In her interactions with the Nurse, and in the crucial solo in which she wavers over whether or not to drink the sleeping potion, Ribeiro both looks and acts like a very young and bewildered girl in love. Armand is perfection as the impetuous, infatuated lover, sustaining five and six pirouettes ending with a balance, landing smoothly from each high jump, and completing every moment of high emotion--even flinging off his shirt...
