Catching the Moment with Paul Kolnik
For nearly 50 years the legendary dance photographer, Paul Kolnik, helped create the visual identity of the New York City Ballet.
PlusWorld-class review of ballet and dance.
A unique cooperation by New York City’s five largest dance companies, BAAND Together Dance Festival was conceived as an effort to restart live dance performance after the pandemic. Intended as a free summer event, this year the popular event moved indoors to Lincoln Center’s David H. Koch Theater, out of the heat, humidity, and rain. Better for the dancers, yes, but I missed the exuberance of the outdoor stage, where your neighbors might be sharing a picnic, and people have a tendency to cheer. Sitting in the dimmed lights of Koch Theater had the sobering effect of being in church. In its fourth iteration, BAAND Together seems to have become less a celebration and more of a sampler meant to introduce new audiences to ballet.
