Dance is a medium of action, and is perhaps one of the most difficult art forms to capture in photography. Looking for the Dance, Mikhail Baryshnikov’s latest exhibit in partnership with Lighthouse Immersive, takes up the task of expressing movement in photography. Beginning September 18th, Looking for the Dance will be presented at One Yonge Street in Toronto, alongside select images from his previous series, Dance This Way, and Dominican Moves. For this Canadian collaboration, the acclaimed dancer, actor, and photographer has put together a breathtaking display of his quest to capture dance in transformative moments. It is a document of his journeys, from exploring the milonga and tango of Argentina, to the South Indian Odissi styles. In his own words, “On these journeys, more than the shape, I am looking for emotional impact through colors, gestures, and steps of the dance and dancers.” Despite being stills, the photos are vigorously alive. After the success of the exhibition, inaugurated in 2013 at the Contini Art Gallery in Venice, and its subsequent presentation at the Cortina d’Ampezzo location, Baryshnikov’s series makes its way to Toronto.
