"On Display" - International Dance Festival Birmingham

2008.04.28
It all started with the manic shopper...

Following and copying other shoppers...

Dreaming of her next purchase...

The amused.

Watching the watched.

Choreographed window cleaning. I'll never clean a window in the same way again...

This one is my favourite; I just love how the streaky reflections came out.


The smiler.


Dance pieces bringing high street stores to life.

As a former dancer of many, many years - there was no chance I was ever going to miss the opening day of the Birmingham International Dance Festival.

Please check out Ungabunga's photographs from the Dance Festival...

More tomorrow...

Carley What fun! I love the streaky reflections also.
What kind of dancing did you do? My guess is ballet....

leocheung Amusing acts.
You've captured it excellently.

gderuiter This is vivid documentation of what looks like a unique assortment of choreographies. It makes me want to go out in my city and observe people's daily routines as if they were dances. Just a slight shift in perspective . . .

Frenchies Very funny set !!!

Peche Great photographic reportage, Em, I feel like I'm standing right next to you as you witness the goings-on. They all tie together really well, and the character and expression throughout from you matches that of your subjects. I adore the last shot, though, and how you've split-screened them - how did you do that, if you don't mind me asking?
I used to dance too, for many years:jazz ballet and classical ballet being the foremost. I also did latin for a while. I would love to do belly dancing at some point too! :D

Jo Em, your pictures always suprise me - always something unexpected. Girl, you are so very, very talented.

Amethyst The last photo in this set is so happy :D I so love his expressions!
And I noticed how you include a "pair" of photos side-by-side in some of your posts... Just want to say I like that those little pairs, it's a cool idea!
