Joseph Caruana
The powerful performer Joseph Caruana is a favorite among Elements' audience. Partnering Gabrielle Del Re in his popular pas de deux, Angel, Caruana brings a smooth, masculine quality to contemporary ballet. In the dramatic central role in Mike Gosney's new Pathos, he defines athleticism in dance. Caruana premieres this and other exciting roles this Saturday at the Elements Spring Engagement.Studio portrait photo of Joseph by Topher Alexander
