During the years 2000-2007 Kantor documented performing arts, namely theatre, puppetry, acrobats and dance. The aesthetic and art of dance disciplines, from classical ballet to modern and contemporary dance, became an ongoing process in close collaboration with the dance companies being photographed.
From photographing the intimacy of daily classes, performance rehearsals, and behind the scenes to photographing the public manifestation of the works performed in front of audiences, the broad scope of this subculture is revealed. The images portray not only choreographed and staged movements, but also moments of a single dancer’s experience at rest.
Kantor was the resident photographer for the Bruce Wood Dance Company (2002-2004) while also photographing several additional dance companies in Texas, including Ballet Concerto, Texas Ballet Theatre, Metropolitan Classical Ballet, and Contemporary Dance Fort Worth.
