A small glimpse inside ‘Global Visions: FotoFest at 40’. 🌍

‘Global Visions’ celebrates forty years of @fotofest, the pioneering international photography biennial started in Houston in 1986 with a belief in images as a shared, democratic language.

Turning the pages of this book means moving between places, histories, generations and very different ways of seeing.
Images made decades apart find themselves in conversation, photographs from different parts of the world suddenly share the same space.

Learn more about the book on our website!

“Everybody is a principal dancer here today,” said @dpulbricht as he encouraged his class to switch lines during adagio. The students, all from the New York City area and beyond, were taking part in Pointe Live Classes & Conversations for adults, our first for recreational dancers over 18. The workshop, held in Manhattan at @balletartsnyc on August 22, was taught by Ulbricht and @njballet dancer @sehyunjin. Many attendees, who spanned a range of levels, squeeze in ballet class after work or on the weekends. Their devotion and focus that day was nothing less than inspiring.

Approaches to Hollow Center is a dance portion of the multimodal project Hollow Center. This summer, I was fortunate to create 3 iterations with 3 sets of different collaborators in 3 different cities (Philadelphia, Portland, New York).

In each iteration, each collaborators brought such incredibly new perspectives, new energies, and new experiences to the forefront of this practice. With their physical, mental, and spiritual involvements and trusts, it’s been invigorating to keep challenging, dismantling, and renewing what I thought I understood about the concepts of nothingness, erasure, existence, and being. I feel motivated to continue working this practice forward.

Thank you for @asianartsphilly, @picapdx, and @chocolatefactorytheater for your support, generosity, and interest in this work. You opened the door for me to deeply contemplate and practice this work.

Thank you for @joseortizpagan, @c_nk_rg_n, @la_pati_vg, @bananeurysm, and #kayvonpourazar, @margarheath for your willingness, commitment, curiosity, and generosity. I feel so blessed to play and practice this work with you all!

I'm grateful for Creative Capital and NPN for making this new initiative of this project possible.

At the heart of my curation for The Joyce Ballet Festival is a celebration of Black, Brown, and Queer voices.

Ballet has a remarkable history, and I believe it grows stronger when we create space for a wider range of artists and perspectives. This festival honors that history while celebrating the artists expanding what ballet can be.

I’m so excited to share these extraordinary performances with you.

August 4–16

In honor of the 1 month mark of Macbeth opening, here are pictures from our wonderful production 🎭🗡️

Classic that I forget to make a promotional video for the one show I am in myself…but this will do. So proud of this amazing cast and crew — and furthermore, so proud of the drama class of 2026 for this unforgettable SDF season! ❤️

With this I sign off as your drama representative. What a pleasure it has been to serve the community that has served me so well for the past 4 years. I cannot wait to see everything this department will continue to create.

With so much love,
Palma your drama representative alum
