Dance impressions
The dancing was delightful to watch, as well as challenging to photograph. If you get a chance, take the time to see them dance. It's worth it!!!
Lori Belilove & Company is the resident dance company for the Isadora Duncan Foundation for Contemporary Dance of New York City. The Company performed at the Isadora Duncan Dance Festival at the Center for the Arts in May 2005.
E.J. painted theatrical backdrops entitled The Oracle at Delphi for their stage performances.
Painting and hanging the backdrops.
Mill Street Gallery and the Grass Valley Graphics Group put on an art exhibit for the Isadora Duncan Dance Festival called "Artistic Movement: A Celebration of Isadora Duncan." We hosted a reception in the exhibit space for Lori Belilove & Company.

It was so much fun to watch E.J. do the auction.
It's hard to resist bidding on a few pieces . . . :-)
Between the dance company, E.J. Gold and the Grass Valley Graphics Group, the Center for the Arts and others, it took lot of work and effort to make it all happen.

I am grateful for the beauty and grace of the dance, the learning about Isadora, as well as the opportunity to level up my photo skills. I will put some more dance photos up sometime. I have several favorites.

The week after the event, the music and movements still with me, not knowing how to paint or make music or dance like that, I wondered:
How can I live grace and beauty in the midst of everyday grind?
