Fourteen Pennsylvania Ballet dancers are stepping from stage to screen with their appearance in the upcoming ballet-themed thriller Black Swan, starring Natalie Portman. After opening the Philadelphia film festival last month, Black Swan will hit theaters in just a few weeks!
To uphold the integrity of the ballet world they were crafting on film, Black Swan’s creators searched for a troupe of dancers that could tell their story with the grace and fervor that Pennsylvania Ballet embodies. The dancers traveled to SUNY Purchase this past January to film various dance studio and performance scenes for Black Swan, directed by Darren Aronofsky. The Pennsylvania Ballet dancers featured in Black Swan are: Laura Bowman, Adrianna de Svastich, Lillian Di Piazza, Megan Dickinson, Lauren Fadeley, Holly Lynn Fusco, Ian Hussey, Rachel Jambois, Abigail Mentzer, Ryoko Sadoshima, Kaia Annika Tack, Sergio Torrado, Barette Vance, and André Vytoptov. Black Swan played at the Venice, Telluride, Toronto and Philadelphia Film Festivals and is scheduled to be released nationwide on December 3.
