Ajkun Ballet Theatre hit the streets for a New York City photoshoot in Times Square with photographer Rachel Neville.
The open air photo shoot was an exciting way to connect with the New York City community, of which Ajkun Ballet Theatre is so much a part. Just as Times Square brings together creativity, energy and culture, so do the Ajkun Ballet Theatre dancers, inspired in these photos by popular culture, New York City energy and the movement of light and dance.
Ajkun Ballet Theatre Company Artist Brittany Larrimer calls the Times Square photo shoot “high energy and inspiring.” She explains that she and her fellow dancers “are accustomed to speaking with audience members after performances, but this shoot allowed [them] to interact with people who may not have been previously interested in dance.”
Brittany shares that bringing Ajkun Ballet Theatre out into Times Square was an “amazing experience” for the Company and everyone they met. The photoshoot captivated tourists and locals who “were there to enjoy a night in Times Square.” For dancers like Brittany, “it was so rewarding and exciting to spark an interest in so many people and share an insight into what we do! “
