Dance Publicity Photographs: Promotion of Dance in the Press

While some of the companies have provided excellent pictures which correspond to the show at hand – Opéra de Paris, Etienne Guilloteau, Jan Lauwers to name a few – others have offered pictures which have little or nothing to do with the stage performance…. While I understand these dance companies would like to protect their image, at the very least there should be an official Impulstanz photographer shooting every show in rehearsal and offering the company director or manager to approve or disapprove shots from the rehearsal photo session.

Impulstanz: The modesty of icebergs – Daniel Leveillé

Another one of the poster productions of this year’s Impulstanz, Daniel Leveillé’s new work is graced not only by the strong image of three naked men flying but also by a chillingly poetic title The Modesty of Icebergs ( La pudeur des icebergs)…. The piece is difficult to describe as there was no particular narrative but rather a cyclical repetition of the same movements with an ensemble comprised mainly of three men but augmented at times to as many as five men and one woman.
