Berkeley, April 28, 2014 – Berkeley photographer David Jouris exhibits large-scale archival pigment prints from his Bay Area dance series at the Central Library from April 28th – July 6th, 2014. The exhibit co-insides with Bay Area Dance Week (Friday April 25 - Sunday May 4, 2014). 

The exhibition will be on display from April 28th – July 6th in the Catalog Lobby on the first floor of the Central Library, 2090 Kittredge at Shattuck in downtown Berkeley.

David Jouris uses long exposure techniques to create multi-layered ethereal images that capture the magic and fluidity of dancers in motion.  The cross-section of local dance companies represented in this exhibition includes Na Lei Hula, Company C Contemporary Ballet, Lily Cai Dance Company and Zhukov Dance Theater.  Jouris’ photographs have been exhibited at the San Francisco Public Library and published in numerous books and periodicals including LIFE and San Francisco Magazine.
