 Choreographers Brian Gephart, Rebecca Niziol and Eduardo Zúñiga

This month, at the The Ruth Page Center for the Arts here in Chicago, Choreographers Brian Gephart, Rebecca Niziol and Eduardo Zúñiga premiered their stunning pieces. I was there to photograph the performances and I was very taken by the amazing works presented. All three choreographers showed such an amazing level of craftsmanship to their work, and the dancers performed with such grace and power. It was such a captivating experience that underlined the fact that Chicago is truly at the forefront of dance collaboration in the community. Thanks so much to DanceWorks Chicago for hosting the event! Many thanks also to Vin who invited me to come photograph!
