Rehearsing Company B

Pictures from today’s rehearsal at the Beijing Dance Academy for an upcoming performance of the Paul Taylor Dance Company classic, Company B. Leading the rehearsal (and doing the staging of the ballet) is Richard Chen See.

The dancers are first and second year students at the academy.

It’s been quite a few years since I’ve done dance photography, something for which I’ve had a longstanding passion.

btw, I took over 500 shots to get these five; something that I totally expected before shooting the rehearsal.

Shot during my first trip to Guilin in 2007. Reworked it last night. Took a bit to get balance right (especially with black) so that the webs and bottle were visible behind the wood.

Today, with the appropriate amount of fanfare and onlookers, the local car wash came to an end.

In commemoration of this most solemn event, I give you, well, this:
