"I feel that in some ways we've lost our understanding of theater," says choreographer Dominic Walsh, sitting quietly in a shady spot outside the Diablo Ballet studios in Walnut Creek.
Walsh gazes across an unromantic parking lot toward a line of trees as if deeper answers might lie percolating somewhere out there in the sunshine. There's an echo of that questing spirit in his version of "Le Spectre de la Rose," a reinterpretation of the Ballets Russes-era masterpiece originally created by Michel Fokine in 1911. Walsh is just finishing a whirlwind rehearsal of his "Spectre" for Diablo Ballet's 18th season, which opens Friday at the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek.
