In the Studio with Eryc Taylor

Friday September 25, 2009 - Kokyat and I went to the White studio at Dance Theater Workshop to watch and photograph Eryc Taylor and his dancers rehearsing in preparation for their performance at Ailey Citigroup Theater on October 6. Last Spring I saw part of Eryc's EMINENT DOMAIN at the 92nd Street Y which piqued my curiosity about the choreographer's work. This evening we had an opportunity to observe at his work close range. Above: Eryc with dancer Erin Ginn in the background. All photos by Kokyat. Click on the images to enlarge.

EMINENT DOMAIN is a work for six women on pointe. Above: Isa Fernandez, Erin Ginn and Jenna Dannenberger.

EMINENT DOMAIN Hope Kroog, Isa, Erin and Jenna.

EMINENT DOMAIN Hope, Jenna, and Carly Mayer.

EMINENT DOMAIN ensemble.The piece displays both the individual and collective strength of the six women. Solos are interspersed with group passages. The pointe work is steely and gives the dancers an imperious quality. I'm looking forward to seeing this work fully staged and lit.

More photos from Eryc's rehearsal to follow.
