Imagine misunderstood artist Lucia Joyce at Full Capacity!
Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood in Harry Potter), emulates Lucia's magical dance as captured by photographer Berenice Abbott in her iconic 1928 image of the promising young dancer posing in her transformative silver fish costume, inspired by a little-known link with WB Yeats.
