Claudia Moore rehearses in light

2008.01.21
These movements feel so familiar. so deeply feminine. This picture, out of context, makes me think 'Paris'.

exposed neck, this gesture forward - her work is like a wave moving through me, washing up lost things, exposing something in me to myself.



upper back - this is the physical territory that is coming into my consciousness now, after decades of non-awareness. Claudia's back - articulate, strong, delicate, vulnerable. Magnificent.

the work has these gorgeous shapes - very lyrical





I will print this large and frame it. It fills me with joy.

Today I photographed this phenomenal dancer in rehearsal of a work by Carol Anderson. In doing so, I am fulfilling dreams of my own. I walked home almost singing.

Claudia will be performing two solo works on Friday Jan. 25th at 7 pm in a small studio setting at 436 Dufferin Street, Toronto.

This work will be performed again the following week as part of Dance Inside/Out
An insider's view of choreography and performance.
(Works by Holly Small, Susan Cash & Sashar Zarif
and Carol Anderson, featuring dancers Claudia Moore, Jen Bolt, Lucy Rupert and others. It will take place Jan. 31 - Feb.1 at York University, 7:00 pm. )

I will most likely be photographing the dress rehearsal of the York performance. It will be interesting to compare theater lighting to the natural light of the rehearsal space.

Above all, if you live in Toronto and have any interest in contemporary dance, I must insist that you attend Older and Reckless.
