Art And Athleticism

There’s nothing like a little one-upmanship to get a point across, especially when such seemingly incongruous events as dancing and sports are being compared.

“Professional wrestlers can lift over 100 pounds with one hand,” reads the copy in one new print ad for the Pennsylvania Ballet. “We can do it with one toe.”

The ad’s sole image is of a ballerina’s calf and foot poised in the en pointe position. That, the copy’s elegant type and the Ballet’s new logo appear before a white background.
