When Virtual Reality Meets Education

Danceable Shakespeare
The Winter's Tale has the saddest happy ending in all of Shakespeare. Categorized as a problem play or a romance, it doesn't end with a stage full of corpses—the King, who has lost his wife, son, daughter, and best friend entirely through his own folly gets almost everything restored to him—but the audience nonetheless leaves the theater feeling unsettled.
British choreographer Christopher Wheeldon has adapted this odd, Job-like play for the Royal Ballet of Canada, and it is now playing at the Kennedy Center (although Friday and Saturday performances have been cancelled due to the snow, and the fate of the rest of the run is uncertain).
