“'Looking for the Dance' is an extension of my journey to capture dance in transformative moments—most recently within the Argentinian milongas and the Odissi dance from East India. On my first trip to India in 2017, I traveled south to Bangalore to the magical Nrityagram Village and spent time with two of the world’s finest dancers, Surupa Sen and Bijayini Satpathy. At Nrityagram, apprentices and young girls from local villages are taught Odissi, the premiere classical Indian dance form. While performing in Argentina, I returned several times between 2014 and 2017 to dance halls throughout Buenos Aires, following the footsteps of the tango. On these journeys, more than the shape, I am looking for emotional impact through colors, gestures, and steps of the dance and dancers. There has never been a show of these images in New York, and this seems like a perfect opportunity to show them at Kaatsbaan and share them with this special community.”
—Mikhail Baryshnikov

Photographs from "Mikhail Baryshnikov: Looking for the Dance" will be available for purchase following the exhibit. Net proceeds from sales of artwork will benefit Baryshnikov Arts Center’s endowment.
