after the show
These photographs were taken at three separate performances of MADONNArt (1999). MADONNArt was a show dedicated to the music, dance, and style of Madonna. I was privileged to have unlimited access to the dancers in their performance and to their dressing room. I have attempted to capture their amazing personalities and hard work. ??the act of drawing sharpens the perceptions of the artist by making him pay detailed attention to the forms he is trying to depict.?-Anthony Storr To anyone who saw one of the performances or anyone who knows the individuals, it will be obvious that these photographs are focused on the people and their personalities. This group of dancers became a family and that was my main attraction to this group. Not only did they become resources and inspirations to each other, but they inspired me and taught me a little about having fun and losing your inhibitions. ?It is clearly understood that there is no definite painting to be made, that the artist is engaged in the making of his painting, and that the painting to be made is precisely the painting he will have made.? Jean-Paul Sartre ?Express yourself, don't repress yourself.? ?Everybody is a star It's got to come from the heart Spotlight, this world is yours and mine Spotlight, this is your chance to shine?----------Madonna
