"The Edison Arts Society is proud to display art galleries at Edison Town Hall, providing a platform for local artists to display their work in a way that is easily accessible to the public," says Edison Arts Society President Gloria Dittman. The display will feature photos of American Repertory Ballet's professional, international dancers and also images of dancers from the Edison area, including dancers from the FUNKtion Dance hip-hop and urban dance groups. The photos of American Repertory Ballet's dancers are by renowned performing arts photographer Richard Termine, known for his work with Sesame Street, The New York Times, Lincoln Center, Cirque du Soleil, and the Jim Henson Foundation.

"You can really see the dynamic nature of the movement and the art through quality dance images," says American Repertory Ballet Artistic Director Douglas Martin. "You can see the stretch and the focus. Richard Termine is really an expert at achieving this."
