Foreword
P ictures, like dancers, do not speak in words. They call upon ones intuition rather than ones intellect, enriching our ability to see and to understand through seeing. Martha Graham used to tell a story of her fathers admonition to her as a child that words can lie, but he would know the truth by her movements. Whether apocryphal or not, the point is clear: there is a higher knowing than words can provide. All visual artists know this; in fact they cant help it.
Roses pictures of dancers reveal the most touching thing there is to know about themtheir humanity. Her keen view takes us past the pretty lines and the illusions of ease and beauty (though that is there as well) as her photos guide our eyes to intuit a more intimate knowledge of the subject, a view of something more vulnerable than hard bodies and perfect arabesques. If you are her subject, as I have been several times, steady your nerves, relax, and give up the pretense. You will be revealed. Her psychologically inclined eye through her camera seeks to show who you are, like it or not.
Lar Lubovitch
Introduction
T he legendary choreographer Martha Graham described those who possess an irrepressible inner force to move, stretch, run, and jump as being doomed to dance. I have met many dancers who fit that description.
After a thirty-year performance career, Nancy Colahan told me, I am, and always will be a dancer. Every cell in my body is primed to be so. Michele Simmons, an Alvin Ailey dancer who was later sidelined by multiple sclerosis and confined to a wheelchair, insisted to the end of her life, My identity as a dancer will never, ever, ever, ever be taken from me.
