My dancecard was definitely full this past weekend. It started off by watching the fabulous Drexel Dance Ensemble present their show “Shift” and then continued with two performances I photographed: the South Philly Salon presented by Melissa Diane (Jacelyn Biondo & Kristen Shahverdian) along with MM2 Modern Dance at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts [...]

With week #1 of Zornitsa Stoyanova’s work “shatter:::dawn” in the books and with week #2 on the way (May 27th – May 29th) I wanted to give a glimpse inside the work. Being a site specific work with special lighting I decided to add black & white special effects to the images not so much [...]
