Lara Live
Lara and Matt in Ravel's Sonate, as part of the Chagall exhibit at Musée des Beaux Arts, Montréal, Québec. Feb 23, 2017.
A dress rehearsal in Spain, where Lara wore a GoPro camera on her head and looked really silly. Though this may not seem as dangerous as a slalom, half-pipe, or cliff dive, it would certainly be as scary for anyone who does those things to do THIS, then it would be for Lara to dive, ski, or surf donning a GoPro.
