Theatre, Music and Dance
Pam’s photographs of live performance speak not only to the sound and mood of the performance, but also to the human qualities inherent within them - the tensions and pressures; the moments of stillness and ecstasy; the exhilaration of an appreciative audience; the exultation and excitation; the trance.
The little moments within a performance are compressed into the viewfinder, so that the lasting images evoke a continuation of the energy, the rhythm, and the sound. Many of her photographs embody a resting place within the performance that remains suspended, unresolved, snap frozen in a chord, a guitar riff, a hip swirl.
