Cavanaugh Journeys

" Grandmother's Gift captures the heart of a young dancer's life in New York City, the fierce love of family, and the quiet courage it takes to chase a dream. It's a tender, whimsical, and deeply honest portrayal of growing up and discovering who you are."
"As a former professional dancer, this story swept me back to the early days of my own journey, the dreams, the discipline, the longing to find my place in the world of dance." - Kathleen Breen Combes,
Artistic Executive Director of Ballet RI
Colleen's personal experience and career in dance and choreography add a grounding depth to the story's world as her characters dance through a magical narrative. These images highlight some of her ballets.
