## Caption

These swimmers aren’t actually swimming at all! 🏊🏽‍♀️They’re dancers in the Metropolitan Opera’s performance of “Les Pêchers de Perles” (“The Pearl Fishers”), diving deep into the ocean, swimming for pearls. Except there’s no water – just screens, lighting, cables and good choreography. And there’s a RIC alumnus behind this BOLD illusion. Cameron Whitehorne ‘02, a graduate of our technical theater program, is Head of Production at The Met. See link in bio to read his story.
