Thank you Pointe Magazine for spotlighting Company Artist Eric Figueredo this spooky season. Last year's 'Dracula' was a highlight of our 2023/24 Season, and it was a pleasure to revisit it!
Ballet and horror have been having a moment. Between recent films featuring dangerous ballerinas and a spike in Halloween-themed works, hair-raising ballet is all the rage. But as a dancer, what does it feel like to embody the undead? Here, Milwaukee Ballet’s Eric Figueredo takes us through his experience transforming into the one and only Count Dracula. Read it on Pointe+: https://lnkd.in/epx2mmbQ 📸 : Eric Figueredo in Michael Pink’s “Dracula.” Photo by Rachel Malehorn, courtesy Milwaukee Ballet. 📝 : Eric Figueredo, as told to Kyra Laubacher #Dracula #MilwaukeeBallet #Vampire Image descriptions: (1) Eric Figueredo, dressed as Count Dracula in a long red velvet cape, gently clasps his hands in front as he leans back in an uncanny manner. His long hair is gray and stringy, and his complexion very pale. Text: Embodying the Undead: Milwaukee Ballet’s Eric Figueredo on Becoming Dracula
