Dear Friends,

I am delighted to invite you to a sharing of my dance photographic journey and experience in conjunction with my solo b/w exhibition of Malam Bulan Di Pagar Bintang, presently exhibited at Sutra Gallery.

Dance Photography is a specialised area that requires one to be extra- observant. I consider it to be a close and intimate encounter with my subject, which is the moving human body in the act of expressing itself.

This โ€˜encounterโ€™ can be very tenuous and even more elusive than photographing a landscape.

What makes one โ€˜encounterโ€™ preferable than the one before or after it? This split-second decision has always been a subjective point of
contention when to click for a photograph.

The area of Dance Photography is still open for exploration especially in Malaysia and in which Sutra has been a pioneer in spearheading.

This is the experience which I want to share with you and I hope you will be at Sutra with me, together with Sutra dancers and Ramli Ibrahim, who will take an active part in the discussion.

See you there!

S Magendran & Sutra
