Joyce Theater, NYC

Image by Susan NYC
wikipedia: "The Joyce Theater was formerly the Elgin Theater, a 1941 movie house, but the building required a major renovation to create an elegant, intimate home for dance in New York City. The Elgin was originally a revival movie house that was closed by the community when it became a pornographic movie theater. The renovation took two years to complete and was guided by architect Hugh Hardy who preserved and expanded the patterned brick facade of the art-deco building. The entire interior was gutted to create a 472-seat theater with the technical specifications to serve the needs of small and medium-sized dance companies."

On Eighth Avenue at 19th Street – in Chelsea (NYC). The lighting makes the theater look unreal, but the bicycle and people and blurs and no-parking sign and street put this scene in the city. I stood across the street waiting until the moment when no traffic blocked the front – had to wait a while. The car that’s zooming by is going fast enough not to obliterate the theater.

This is the place to go for dance performances.

Taken with my first digital camera, a wonderful point and shoot canon.
