Dancers from prestigious ballet companies, designer garments, exquisite lighting and state-of-the-art filmmaking technology combine in a work-of-art that showcases the extreme athleticism and sublime beauty in dance as never before.
Featuring elite dancers from The Australian Ballet, Bolshoi Theatre, The Royal Ballet, Les Ballets de Monte Carlo and Queensland Ballet, 'missed nuance' uses ultra-slow motion photography to 'slow time', revealing a mesmerising spectacle of dance movement.
Leading Australian dancers across ballet, contemporary and break dance collaborated to capture a dance moment-in-time like never before.
Together the dancers and photographer Niv Novak created a visual feast of movement and light, showing dance in ultra-slow motion, ultra-high-definition video.
This unique concept was a labour of love for Niv Novak, who explains:
“The decisive moment of a dance ‘extension’ is a wondrous sight but it’s over in an instant. What if this instant in time could be extended or elongated? extension was born of this idea.”
The Australian Ballet’s Principal Artist, Chengwu Guo, who volunteered his time said:
“High-speed dance motion can be missed with a blink of an eye, this is the beauty of extension – every detail of even the fastest jump is suspended to be observed, it’s mesmerising.”
