Sunday Snapshot: Foot Phrase

Foot Phrase

©Allanah C.

Foot Phrase is a section in the ballet A Pulse Stolen by Ted Seymour (see more in an interview and clips from A Pulse Stolen on YouTube), which had its world premiere on May 21, 2010. This section of the ballet is done in total darkness except for three sets of illuminated, moving feet. The two shown are the feet of Ashley J.( in sous-sus) and Brittany H. (in tendu derriere).

About the photographer: Allanah C. is a dance and college student currently living in Indianapolis, IN and spending the summer as an extra dancer for Gregory Hancock Dance Theatre. She started taking pictures of her friends at her home studio for fun and it has since developed into a hobby of sorts. Of capturing the shot, she says, “I love the challenge photographing dance presents because my subject is almost always in motion, even on my digital camera without a delay the picture can easily become blurred by the motion of the dancer or the lighting.”

  1. Great picture. I have some awesome pictures. How do I submit them to you for possible publication for the Sunday Photo. Isabelle Cook

    • Hi Isabelle!

      I accept submissions through the Flickr pool: http://www.flickr.com/groups/danceadvantage/

      Only because there is occasionally confusion, please keep in mind that I am looking for submissions from the photographer him/herself. Like it or not, the subjects, venues, or dance schools depicted in a photo do not hold copyright. Permission from the photographer is needed.

      Not to mention, Sunday Snapshot is a photographer feature! I want to highlight the folks that manage to capture this ephemeral art form. Thanks so much for your interest! Would love to see your photos added to the pool :)
