ACTION PORTRAITS
The first series of portraits were taken during a GAGA dance class (Ohad Naharin's - the founder of Batsheva - movement language) taught by Shamel Pitts and Mirelle Martins in NYC. Gaga classes are based on a deep listening to and awareness of the scope of physical sensations. The second series of portraits were taken during my residency at Springboard Danse Montreal in 2017. Action Portraits are taken close up while the dancers are moving - there is no stationary posing.
