Company

Although photographs were needed for publicity as the Sybil Shearer Company got started, it is possible that many more were taken just because Helen got swept away enjoying the new activities. The earliest pictures were taken when Within This Thicket went into production in 1959, mostly of dancers in rehearsal clothes. As time went on, photos of costumed dancers were made, too. Many of Sybil’s dances had quirky names that added to the fun, for example, “Sanity Doesn’t Quibble,” “Singing Insects Are Happy Enough,” and “The Reflection in the Puddle Is Mine.”
