Description

"Morphoses Duex" is a stunning autographed archival pigment print. Céline Cassone and Edward Watson performing with Morphoses in Emily Molnar’s Six Fold Illuminate. Bid to make it your own!


Morphoses was created in 2007 by world-renown choreographer Christopher Wheeldon. The company employed leading dancers from around the world.  In this image, dancers Céline Cassone (principal dancer with Les Ballet Jazz de Montreal) and Edward Watson (principal dancer with the Royal Ballet) perform the ballet "Six Fold Illuminate" by Emily Molnar, choreographer and Artistic Director of Ballet British Columbia. Wheeldon left Morphoses in 2010 and the company continued for two years under the directorship of Lourdes Lopez, now the artistic director of Miami City Ballet. 


While working as a ballet dancer in the 1980’s, Ellen found that she enjoyed watching and analyzing movement as much as dancing.


Ellen moved to New York City to further her dance career but eventually entered the Gallatin School at New York University to pursue her interest in photography. An accidental change in her camera’s shutter speed during a college assignment resulted in her first motion study: a photographic method she has continued to pursue as a way to convey the expression and mystery of dance. After graduation she worked with renowned dance photographer Lois Greenfield and covered dance as a freelance photographer for publications including The New York Times, The Village Voice, New York Magazine and Dance Magazine. Her images of students and faculty at The School of American Ballet, an affiliate of the New York City Ballet, have been exhibited at Lincoln Center.
