Yesterday was my first day as a marketing intern at The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. Randy Attwood, the Museum’s Media Relations Officer, directed my co-intern Caitlin and myself in escorting 22 ballerinas from the Legacy Ballet Company for a photo shoot in Rozzelle Court and the Bloch Building.
The girls ranged in age from 11 to 18 years old. The photo shoot began in Rozzelle Court where all of the girls were giggling and talking while putting on their point shoes. Their shinning smiley faces told me how special it was they were being photographed in the Nelson-Atkins.
The photographer did a great job keeping the girls focused and on cue. Once the photographs were taken in Rozzelle Court, Caitlin and I escorted the girls over the Bloch Building. The contemporary setting was a great back drop for the pictures. All of the ballerinas were wearing purple leotards which contrasted fabulously with the white background of the walls of the Bloch Building.
The photographer lined up the ballerinas on the stairwell, which created a great angle for the pictures. The last pose was from one of their dances. I thought it looked like a piece of art. All of the ballerinas were intertwined into one cohesive photograph.
Overall I had a fantastic time working on the photo shoot and I cannot wait for another one.

Randy, Caitlin and Ali,
Thank you so much for all of your help during the shoot. Herding ballerinas, keeping the girls focused and on cue, isn't an easy job. Your help made the job all the more manageable. We, like Ali, can't wait to do it again.
