Bio
Watch Erica Lynette Edwards, ballerina with Chicago’s Joffrey Ballet Company, share insights and highlights from her amazing career; the excitement of her first major performance, rehearsing her role in “Othello” for Mikhail Baryshnikov, working with director Robert Altman in the movie “Company”, and what a performer experiences on stage. One of her favorites to perform is "Caught" where the use of strobe lighting makes the leaping dancers appear to float throughout the entire piece.
