World-renowned photographer Mark Mann threw an incredible party Monday night. Held at the historic Joyce Theater, Movement at the Still Point: An Evening of Dance celebrated Mann's new dance photography book with a night of enchanting performances. Ranging in styles from ballet to modern to Broadway to vogueing, it was a night that won't soon be forgotten.

Mark Mann has photographed everyone. Google his name, and you will find hundreds of famous people he has exquisitely captured through the lens of his camera. Actors. Musicians. Presidents. Literally everyone in the public consciousness. But perhaps his greatest undertaking was during the COVID-19 lockdown, when he could no longer work as he used to. “I thought I had this creative block,” he shares of the time. “But [really], what I did was taken away from me.” So, he turned to Loni Landon, a respected contemporary choreographer—and his sister-in-law—and the two joined forces to celebrate a group of artists who too had their craft taken away: dancers. And what was created? His new, fabulous coffee table book, Movement at the Still Point: An Ode to Dance.
