Dancers

In its devotion to movement and transformation, dance seems to be forever resisting depiction in two dimensions. Photographing the work of 34 choreographers, ranging from the broad, high-energy designs of modern dance choreographers such as Bill T. Jones and Mark Morris to the quiet introspective unfolding of pieces by Butoh master Kazuo Ohno, Philip Trager has attempted to capture the individuality of each of the choreographers featured.
