Before we turn the page on this Season, we're looking back at all the drama that unfurled on our stage. From the fiery and passion-fueled to the ethereal and dreamlike, these pairs showcased just how many kinds of love, longing, and (at times) chaos can fit into one Season.

Today we recognize International Nurses Day and the woman behind it: Florence Nightingale. She defied convention, reshaped her field, and refused to be defined by the world's expectations. When Tamara Rojo set out to reimagine Raymonda, it was Nightingale's vision that lit the way.

(🎥 Wona Park Rojo's Raymonda)

When @jodie__gates set "The Blake Works" on @sfballet, she took notice of principal @maddwoo: “Maddie has an incredibly instinctive response to musicality that’s quite unique," says Gates. "What’s interesting about her as a ballerina is she has an element of risk-taking, and she seems fearless. And then she laughs if it doesn’t work out.”

Description: Madeline Woo stands in sous-sus at a barre on a starkly lit stage, facing the side of the stage. Her working arm is in high fifth; her hips are canted forward as she glances under her arm toward the audience. She is costumed in a silvery blue high neck leotard, no tights, and ballet slippers.

This season gave us Balanchine at his finest. And lucky for us, next season gives us more: two full evenings with Jewels and A Midsummer Night's Dream. The wait is already worth it.

She attended the Positioning Ballet leadership conference in Amsterdam, worked alongside SF Ballet staff on strategic planning and organizational management, and connected with mentors at Stanford and LinkedIn. Her capstone project was centered aorund producing the SF Ballet Orchestra’s final Chamber Concert of the season at the Legion of Honor. As her fellowship wraps up, we’re celebrating Julia and the vision Tamara Rojo and Kerry Nicholls had in creating a program like this in the first place.
