Emma Kraus, Nicole Sabella, Maya Johnson and Justin Bryant briefly pause to pose.

Zane Booker, a well known Philadelphia dancer and director, presented a small group production of his new work Portraits. Five young dancers performed the work-in-progress, which they created with Booker as a Swarthmore Project this summer.
