2000  St. Petersburg, Russia (April 2000)  Residency with Kannon Dance School and Company, St. Petersburg, Russia
•   Maida Withers created Part III Magnetic Storm of Dance of the Auroras – Fire in the Sky with Iwona Olszowska, dancer from Poland, and Sasha Kukin, dancer from Russia, and Vincent Cacalano, USA/Netherlands,  during a residency sponsored by Kannon Dance Company. (April 3-24, 2000) in St. Petersburg, Russia.  Vincent drank dirty water and became ill.  Subsequently, the trio  was performed as a duet not a trio.
Kannon Dance inaugurated the Dukabrezkov Theatre with this concert performance.  USA and other dancers actively scrubbed the stage and assisted in transformation to a small beautiful theatre for dance.  The theatre was eventually taken over by Mariinsky Ballet Company, St. Petersburg, when Mariinsky took control of the building to expand the Company’s operation.
Maida video documented this performance but at this time it is not included in the archive.
This duet contined to be part of the evening-length stage performance, Dance of the Auroras – Fire in the Sky, performed in Washington, DC at Lisner Auditorium.
