Title: Records relating to 'Leonora's Dance'
Description:

This series of records contains all files related to the production and promotion of 'Leonora's Dance' by Zindika S Machael, directed by Joan-Ann Maynard. Leonora always wanted to be a dancer, and her dreams are fulfilled when she joins the ballet. Here she experiences prejudice and alienation as in the 'Black swan/White swan' syndrome. Leonora's life spirals out of control suffering from hypochondria, agoraphobia, and finally a mental breakdown. The spirit of Medusa embodies her negativity, which is aggravated by problems caused by her lodgers and a difficult relationship with her mother.
