Sprung – Queens' Contemporary Dance Sho...
The fourth and final major dance show of the term. While the Queens’ College Contemporary Dance Society may lack the budget of the larger dance shows, it is now in its ninth year, and covers a range of contemporary dance styles that its members, and Dancer-in-Residence Adèle Thompson, have put together. The most innovative piece, which provided my favourite visual image of...
Read MoreADC Dance Poster
Having photographed the CUCDW dance show at the ADC for the last 4 years, and to promote the photographs I’d recently taken of this year’s show, I put together a design showing my photos from the last four years, including the montage that I put together of this year’s show. I’m fortunate to know the ADC’s marketing manager (one of my muses), so was...
Read More"The Planets" – CU Ballet Show
The third dance show that I’ve photographed this term; the Ballet Society performed seven pieces set to Holst’s “Planets” Suite. The highlight was Venus, a pas de deux danced beautifully by Sarah Wilkinson. Another piece involved five dancers with shawls, and one shot came out looking as if the dancer was holding a large...

While these photos weren’t taken by me, they do feature me; they were taken by another great Cambridge photographer, Reggie Thomson. He normally photographs beautiful landscapes, flowers, and Cambridge colleges, and for the first time tried his hand at dance photography, with great success. I dance in the Cambridge University Rock’n'Roll Team, which performs acrobatic...
Read MoreStaged – CUTAZZ Dance Show
More photos from another dance show this term – the annual CU Tap & Jazz (CUTAZZ) dance show, this year named “Staged”. Very similar in range and quality as last year’s CUTAZZ show, with Natalie Demain’s lyrical dancing standing out again. More photos from the CUTAZZ Dance Show on...

Read MoreDance Show Montage
Over the course of the dress rehearsal and one of the mid-week performances, I’d taken a few thousand photographs of the CUCDW Dance Show. As I knew several dancers in the show and wanted to show my appreciation, I put together a montage of all the pieces, and gave them prints at the aftershow party. Fortunately the 24 pieces fit perfectly into the design that I use for my...
Read MoreSuch Stuff As Dreams
A dancer friend’s birthday was soon after the dance show, and she’d indicated that she was rather fond of some of the photos I took of one of the pieces. I put together these two montages as a...
Read MorePerspectives – 2008 CUCDW Dance Show
Photographs from this year’s CUCDW Dance Show at the ADC Theatre. This is the fourth year that I’ve photographed the show, and while the lighting may have been a bit darker/flatter than before, the dancing was still as varied, interesting, and impressive. The full set of photographs can be seen on...
Read MoreCUCDW Dance Show Publicity
Having photographed the annual CUCDW Dance Show at the ADC for the last few years, this year’s show director asked if I’d take photos for the show’s publicity. An accomplished dancer herself, we had a photoshoot in St. John’s College to get various poses and action shots in late November. Over the holidays, I offered to work on the publicity design as well,...
