From Kent Barker’s ‘Transcendance’ photography exhibition at Jeanette Kennedy Gallery. (Rich Lopez/DV) Stage Notes is a weekly aggregate post about theater, classical music and stage news, events, reviews and other pertinent information. Gallery hosts conversation featuring area company dancers Local photographer Kent Barker opened his show Transendance at the Jeanette Kennedy Gallery in December.
The former dancer turned the camera lens on local dancers from companies such as Bruce Wood Dance, Dallas Black Dance Theater and others and showcased them in stunning captures.
On Sunday, he and select dancers will discuss the experience. From Barker: At the opening of my exhibition in December, so many people wanted to know about the collaborative process between myself and the dancers.
Who came up with the pose ideas? How long are the sessions? How many times do the dancers repeat the movements to get the shot?
