Terri Gold:The Buglisi Dance Theatre

Working with the Buglisi Dance Theatre is an honor.I have had the opportunity to photograph some of the works behind the scenes and  the final dress rehearsals.Watching the creative process , seeing  the dancers inhabit the choreographers vision is incredibly exciting. The language of dance is universal and as Jacqulyn so beautifully says it ignites the imagination.I look forward to collaborating with them more in the future.

“We believe that dance transcends all boundaries, touching with wonder and inspiration the heart of the heart of man. Its images allow us to recognize within ourselves- each other, our ancestors, and the natural world. From this awareness rises meaning, compassion and ways of knowing the indomitable spirit of man.” As flag-bearers of American culture we are harbingers of a creative vision; we embrace the traditional as we explore new idioms and collaborate with innovative artists from all over the world. Through a language that is timeless and universal, we build our audiences’ awareness of the family of man, igniting imaginations and drawing new generations of artists to the fire of dramatic theatrical dance, and strive to nurture in the global community a personal commitment to dance as a life long process of embracing the terrible beauty of humanity

My ongoing body of work, “Still Points in a Turning World”, explores our universal cross-cultural truths: the importance of family, community, ritual and the amazing diversity of its expression.
I am looking for the grace notes, for the sense of wonder in our world and in our connections to each other.
Every day traveling allows the possibility of revelation. Don’t we all want to understand the mystery out of which we came and into which we will return.

No matter where I am, I am always happiest with a camera or three  in my hands…

I was so happy to be chosen as the Lightroom Featured Photographer in Photoshop User Magazine in the February 2009 issue.  As an artist, often working alone, this magazine is my favorite source of inspiration. Creating the image is just the beginning of the process for me. In the traditional darkroom, I was a lith printer, a complicated dance where each print was one of of a kind.  Now, I work in the digital darkroom and keep up with the latest creative techniques and innovations by subscribing to Photoshop User Magazine and becoming a member of NAPP.  I highly recommend it.
