These  are intended as reference material  informing my full-sized studio pieces.  Drawing contemporary dancers in high-energy movement necessitates a confident loose approach which almost prevents any opportunity to look down at the paper.  Something beautiful and extraordinary taking place may be missed! The studies reference the flow of movement and are not intended as portraiture and  are often annotated with instructions from choreographer to dancers in order to encompass energy and information. For me there is a sense that nothing must be missed! I am part of something beautiful but fleeting and it will quickly be gone.
