This week, Festival Director Anne Morris welcomes photographer Zoe Litaker back to the show. Zoe and Anne talked last fall on the podcast, at the beginning of our work on the 30 Portraits for 30 Years series, in which Zoe photographed 30 dance artists who have been influential in the development and evolution of the Dance Festival over the years. Each of these artists is a collection of the moments they’ve lived, their personal history intertwining with the story of the NC Dance Festival in a variety of ways. Zoe’s photos capture them in one moment of time, a glimpse of a whole life in one instant. When we talked last year, Zoe was just beginning this project, which she finished in July of 2021. Now, we are reflecting a bit on the series, on how Zoe grew as an artist in this process, and what makes dance and photography such a rich partnership.
