As some of you might already know, my dad happens to be an exceptional photographer 
and for the past 15 years he’s been creating beautiful images of José Mateo’s Ballet Theatre of Boston - a great company (and school) who exclusively dance Mr. Matéo’s choreography. I went to their school right before I left Boston to come to SAB and they gave me the strength and the amazing experience of working directly with a gifted choreographer, before I even got to New York.
This Friday, they are having a gala showing of the work my dad has done with the company. (Needless it’s been a journey for my dad and BTB to go through and decide which pieces will be shown after 15 years of collaboration!)
It’s at BTB’s beautifully renovated church space in Harvard Square. (You might remember the picture I took when I taught there this summer). Doug and I are taking the Acela up Friday afternoon for the show. I can’t wait!
Click the image to read the details… maybe we’ll see you there!

After missing every blogger get together throughout the past year (due to being out of town or consumed by the insanity of life), I finally managed to make it to one last night, and oh what a get together it was! Cedar Lake invited a group of 85 people (including a collection of fantastic dance bloggers) to be the first ever audience for their new “installation,” Glassy Essence.
Along with the information about the performance that Cedar Lake sent out to us, they made sure to let us know that we were allowed to bring cameras and encouraged to photograph the show. This is just one of many ways in which Glassy Essence is an atypical evening.
When we walked in, the gorgeous theater space had been cleared of the usual bleachers and instead had a large table in the center, a wall with blocks reaching out of it, and curtains with images projected on them lining the walls. As the lights went down, the cameras came out, and the dancers devoured every inch of the space thanks in part to inventive contraptions and scenery which helped them explore the vertical space the high ceiling has to offer.
The 40-minute show was such a visual wonderland that I hardly removed my camera from my face at all. I guess I’ll have to return, sans camera, to experience it all again. Check out Oberon’s Grove for an in-depth review of the evening! It was a pleasure to finally meet so many fellow bloggers!

Two colleagues of mine have recently created a non-profit dance photography magazine titled “On Center Magazine” which features the beautiful and gifted artists of the Joffrey ballet. Sasha Fornari, a photographer for Joffrey and Michael Smith, a company dancer and aspiring photographer are the two co founders of this new publication. Both have also contributed their work to Joffrey’s blog, JPointe. Their composition, attention to detail, and unique perspective evoke images of inspiration and sheer beauty.
