Voluntary Caesura, A Dance Film, Part I: Production Stills

December 21, 2016 by bretdossphoto

As long-time readers may know, I have had the privilege & pleasure of working with Coriolis Dance for years, now. When Christin Call contacted me to ask if I would like to do on set production stills and behind-the-scenes images of her dance film, I was all in. I’ve always been fascinated by process as well as the result, and at any type of performance I’ll be looking at lighting or sound rigs during intermission, and I love every chance […]

Coriolis Dance: Threaded Cosmos

August 31, 2015 by bretdossphoto

Photographing any Coriolis Dance performance is always exhilarating. In the uniquely private, personal view thru my lens, the dancers, choreography, & music take me to a place of transcendence, connection: a flow of energy occurs, and I become fully aware of only what is in the viewfinder, anticipating, reacting, connecting. Threaded Cosmos, performed by dancer, choreographer, and company co-founder Natascha Greenwalt, was one of these special moments. Performed at the Belltown Collective as one of the pre-show pieces of the company’s Unfixed Arias, […]

Depicting Verbs

June 19, 2013 by bretdossphoto

above: Andrea Larretta performing Depicting Verbs — image © Bret Doss Photography 2013 I was fortunate to photograph the Co-LAB 5 event by Coriolis Dance. This week, I am pleased to share some images from one piece: “Depicting Verbs” choreographed and performed in silence by Andrea Larreta. It is a dramatic piece, merging sign language with contemporary dance which draws the audience into the emotional experience of failed communication. The audience reacts with complete, self-imposed, breathless silence, which further reinforces Andrea’s fervent […]
