Which Audrey: Theoretical Physicist or Opera Deva?







I shot portrait photos of the grade 6ers for the school yearbook, including this series of Audrey, from Brazzaville, Congo.  At the start of the school year, Audrey presented herself as serious and reserved.  Then one day, quite unexpectedly, she volunteered to sing the end-of-Monday song, meant to be a fun and silly way to close the school day.  Audrey launched into a full-on musical performance, complete with opera and interpretive dance.  

Note the following two video clips which illustrate Audrey's substantial talent for musical theater:

The quiet/reserved Audrey is still there, but now we know that she co-habitates with a performer, revealed in the photos/videos above.

I predict that Audrey will become either a theoretical physicist or star in her own situation comedy, a la Carol Burnett.
