Since 2002, critically acclaimed Dominic Walsh Dance Theater
(DWDT) has charted new territory in the dance world by translating the
techniques and skills of classical ballet into a more contemporary realm.
In the book Dominic Walsh Dance Theater, Dominic Walsh, founder and
artistic director, reflects on his journey leading the company. The core of
this book is a collection of photographs capturing some of the incredible
moments from the company's repertoire. Photographer Gabriella Nissen
has been documenting DWDT performances since 2007 and as editor of
this book Nissen worked with Walsh sorting through thousands of DWDT
images by her and fellow photographers to find the brightest gems to highlight the company's history. Order your book at www.gabriellanissen.com.
