Nashville Ballet to host reception for photographer Stacey Irvin With a showcase of new choreography “Works In Progress”
Nashville, Tennessee-Nashville Ballet will host a reception to celebrate the work of photographer Stacey Irwin on Sunday, May 10, 2009 from 3:00-5:00 PM. Stacey Irvin is an award-winning photographer and graphic designer living in Nashville. She graduated in 1999 with a B.A. in Philosophy from Vanderbilt University and has since traveled and photographed extensively in Asia, North America and parts of South America. Irvin was invited to Kenya by a local non-profit, Burning Bush, Inc., in order to photograph daily life, healthcare, and micro-lending initiatives in a rural community. Most recently, Irvin spent two weeks living in an indigenous village in the highlands of Ecuador.
Irvin has presented her work to schools and community organizations and has exhibited in many venues including The Parthenon Museum in Nashville, TN, the Tennessee Arts Commission Gallery, the Metro Nashville Arts Commission Gallery and the Nashville International Airport. She states, “In a world in which our lives often seem to be packaged and sold to us for consumption, my aesthetic revels in capturing and sharing the simple, yet most essential aspects of the human spirit. Whether I am at home or abroad, I seek to celebrate and experience the diversity of life and the interconnectedness to the land and to each other that sustains our common humanity.”
At 3:45 PM “Works in Progress,” a collection of six pieces choreographed by six members of Nashville Ballet and set on the dancers of Nashville Ballet 2 will be presented in Studio A. Come witness the upcoming generation of talented artists in this afternoon of dance and visual art!
The reception and performance are open to the public. Ms. Irwin’s photography will hang in the Frist Gallery from May 10 through July 10 in the Martin Center for Dance, located at 3630 Redmon St. For additional information regarding this show, please contact Linda Coulter at 297-2966 ext. 21 or email Linda at artinfo@nashvilleballet.co
