I returned to Chelsea on Friday night with several friends for a second viewing of Cedar Lake Contemporary Ballet’s Glassy Essence. I enjoyed it as much as I did the first time, although there were many more people there, so it was a bit challenging to move freely around the space. After telling my friends so much about the installation and encouraging them to attend, I was pleased that they loved it, too. The wall of blocks (shown above) seemed to be everyone’s favorite part.
I planned on leaving my camera at home since I took so many photos the first time I went. In fact, Matt Murphy and I agreed that we should lock our cameras away to resist taking photos at the second viewing. But at the last second, I decided to bring it along. Here are a few final photos of the installation. Also, check out the Glassy Essence photo page to see photos submitted by audience members.
Excellent photos!!
The photos make me wish I’d had an opportunity to see GLASSY ESSENCE again…
