Studio Helena Palazzi

While we’ve been focused outwardly on spreading the word about the upcoming CONCEPT series, behind the scenes, we’ve been eagerly preparing and anticipating our fall residency at 836M. Witness the creative process up close through rehearsals open to the public, as we work with a cast of 8 dancers to create “Loving Still” — a new series of duets that bring q***r ancestors to life and to love.

The residency begins with a soft opening on October 12 at 6:30pm, with short performances of some of the duets in process, as well as a panel including Ryan, Wendy, Shawn Sprockett (creator of Unspeakable Vice ), and Isaac Fellman (Reference Archivist at the GLBT Historical Society ). Please join us for this free event! Registration is required. https://rawdance.org/events/loving-still/

Stay tuned for more details about “Loving Still” in the weeks ahead!

Hi there! Just a quick note to introduce Helena Palazzi (pictured at left with me on the right) as my new partner-in-crime at Pinkwater Gallery. She and I are teaming up as partners in the business going forward and will be collaborating on all kinds of exciting projects for the gallery, including curation of shows like MAPPING THE ABSTRACT, for which we recently concluded an open call, coming up this fall. Helena Palazzi is a successful commercial photographer whose lifestyle, branding and portrait studio is thriving here in the Hudson Valley. Her work as an in-demand fashion photographer can be found but her work as a fine artist is truly coming into bloom now with haunting encaustic photography and gorgeous textural paintings. I look forward to a long and fruitful partnership with this fantastic lady! 😘
