Dance As Art- The New York Photography Project

Dance as Art is a celebration of the talented dancers of New York City through the eyes of photographer, Kevin Richardson Finally it is a street show.

There is no question that dance is art, but there are questions as to whether art remains a significant part of the New York experience. When I first came to New York City twenty years ago, what struck me was the diversity and number of artists of all kinds who filled the streets. New York was not Main Street, USA where everyone looked pretty much the same- as art and the idea of self-expression w

as something almost tangible- something we all participated in. This feeling, this energy came from our artists. The legions of dancers, painters, sculptors, actors and performers who flocked to this Mecca of artistry. A place that met artists with open arms, embracing them with affordable housing and a chance to present their work in one of the greatest art centers in the world. A place where the average New Yorker could also afford to be a part of the spectacle, a place that over the years has changed drastically. Today, skyrocketing rents and decreased funding for the arts created a desert out of the artistic oasis that was New York. Setting the stage for a growing exodus of artists and performers out of New York as they sought more affordable and more artist friendly climes. The prices of live performances have increased almost exponentially as well. With fewer and fewer exceptions, prices of Broadway, ballet and modern dance performances are priced well above the means of the average New Yorker, making it no longer a part of our shared heritage but rather an experience for the privileged few. With Dance As Art the idea is three fold. Firstly it is a celebration of the beauty of dance. A tribute to the amazingly talented dancers of our City. Secondly, it is a reminder of the importance of art as part of what makes the New York that we know and love. The dancers stand as representatives of all artists, the artists who are the creative soul of our City and without them there is an emptiness that no new incoming population can fill. Every photo shoot brings the art of dance back to the people, drawing crowds, sometimes in the hundreds, of spectators who have a chance to see our artists dancing in the streets. Which to me, is exactly where they should be. Support the arts, remember the artists and thanks for taking the time to look at my work.
