Photo Pair ~ Passage For Two

Today I paired my sketch Reach with a photo from Passage for Two. To get the full effect of today’s photo pair make sure to watch the video of the fourth Dance movement from NY Export: Opus Jazz featuring the choreography of Jerome Robbins, music by Robert Prince and New York City Ballet soloists Rachel Rutherford and Craig Hall.  Watch “Passage For Two”.

I thought I would also share the beginnings of another sketch Pas de Deux in keeping with the theme of course. Illustrator and I are still arguing with one another. I am sure eventually we will learn to cooperate better. But even unfinished there is something I like about them. I suspect it is the expression of the dance pose itself. Even frozen in space dancers bodies seems to be able to communicate a mirade of emotions. I never seem to tire of their narration.

Janie Taylor for Chloé

The Prima Ballerina Models the Fashion House’s Ethereal Collection

New York City Ballet principal Janie Taylor road tests Chloé’s dance-inspired spring/summer 2011 collection with choreographer and corps de ballet member Justin Peck in today’s short by director Bon Duke. Set to Philip Glass’s “String Quartet No. 3, ‘Mishima’: IV. 1962: Body Building,” the impassioned routine was conceived by Peck in a bid to capture the multidimensional aspects of the performance on camera.~link~ Janie Taylor for Chloe
