Drawn from Cinderella Abstraction, this excerpt distills a single moment of transformation from Prokofiev’s Cinderella. Rather than retelling the story literally, the choreography presents the Fairy Godmother not as spectacle, but as a presence of awakening — one who steadies, illuminates, and reminds.

What follows is not theatrical enchantment, but recognition: the moment a young woman steps forward into the strength she already carries. Presented in recognition of Prokofiev’s 135th anniversary, the miniature honors the enduring vitality of his music while offering an intimate reflection on courage, becoming, and inner grace.
