Ripples
Energy can be changed from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed.--First Law of Thermodynamics
When we watch dancers moving through space, we are struck by both science and alchemy, by the real and imagined.
As embodiments of physical laws, dancers constantly convert one form of energy into another—from stasis to movement and back again—oscillations or waves of air and light.
As alchemists, dancers make evident what is hidden from us—turning dreams into realities, and back again into dreams —turning matter into spirit.
What does the camera lens capture?
How does a still image suggest movement?
Perhaps the photographic image connects with our inner eye, tapping into our dreams whenever we take the time to look, ever so closely.
