Something Heroic and Distant: Dancers Creating in the Time of COVID-19
Collaborating with a courageous and diverse group of dancers during the COVID-19 lockdown, photographer Kyle Adler has crafted a stunning visual testament to how we share a need to create even while each of us owns a unique story.
Type of Exhibition: Art
“As the COVID-19 pandemic closed most creative outlets for artists, I experienced first-hand the unprecedented upheaval this situation forced upon local artists. I looked to my local SF Bay Area’s vibrant and diverse dance community for inspiration. I then launched the Something Heroic and Distant Project as a testament to the resilient spirit of the creative community during these trying times. The Project adhered to the Bay Area’s strict shelter-in-place orders while allowing local dancers to create, inspiring others to keep the artistic community strong during our quarantine, raising funds for those most in need, and documenting this surrealistic period in our history. During the most challenging months of April, May, and June 2020, I conducted nearly 40 distanced photoshoots with dancers representing a diverse range of identities, dance styles, and quarantine experiences.” – Kyle Adler
