I’ve gotten to know some really AMAZING artists in NYC in the just over 10+ years i’ve been shooting. Some through shooting at APAP and most through a performance series called The Current Sessions (www.thecurrentsessions.com) in NY. One of the artists I met at one of the Current Sessions performances was Gregory Dolbashian. Greg is co-founder of the Playground (http://theplaygroundnyc.org/) which is “an innovative network of exchanges through merging professional dancers and choreographers; provides a movement lab that is financially accommodating, easily accessible, and artistically rewarding for all of its participants” but also director of the DASH Ensemble (http://www.thedashensemble.org). Recently I stopped by rehearsal with the DASH as they prepare for a pre-holiday weekend performance at NYU’s Jack Crystal Theater.
The pictures give a glimpse of what the DASH Ensemble is all about but to really experience what the DASH is all about you must see them live and July 1st is your next chance. Their show info is below and for more info about the DASH go to their website (http://www.thedashensemble.org)
