...takes the stage with exceptional presence, bringing to the performance clear, insightful mime and impressive theatrical and technical versatility. Without dancing a single step in the first act, Ball holds full command of the stage, developing the dimensions of Gamzatti's struggles as a woman and further as a princess, striking a perfect balance of contrast between the dual aspects of the role. She continues to impress in the second act, donning pointe shoes to deliver a solid performance filled with beautifully landed turns and jumps...
