I have continued to work on my Modern-Modern Dance project (Previous Journals: “Alvin Ailey, Postmodern, Modern Dance” and “Dancer Yannick Lebrun in Modern-Modern Dance”) and most recently with three glorious dancers from the Alvin Ailey dance company.

Each was different from the other, but each collaborated with me to produce images bursting with physical energy.

Here are a few of the photographs we made together:

PORTRAITS:
We four made a special connection while working together that produced
portraits which fit perfectly into the look and feel of the larger
project.  When directing dancers, I often say, “Stand (or sit) as only a
dancer can.“ They got it. Perfectly.
