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.
In a career spanning almost 30 years, American dancer-choreographer Trajal Harrell has created a body of work borne of a rich imagination and an enquiring mind. Taking some of the ideas underlying early modern and postmodern dance, voguing and butoh as starting points, Harrell’s choreographies cast a speculative gaze over dance and cultural history, presenting alternative scenarios through a unique movement language. The results are captivating and utterly original.
The inventiveness of Harrell’s work makes him much in demand. He and his company, Zürich Dance Ensemble, are regular invitees at major dance festivals, theatres and arts institutions across the world. Harrell undertook a two-year artist residency at MoMA (2014-2016) and staged a month-long performance exhibition, “Trajal Harrell: Hoochie Koochie,” at London’s Barbican (2017). He has also received several high-profile awards, including a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2012 and a Silver Lion at the 2024 Venice Biennale.
