Reviews of Natural Dance

“Hal Eastman’s vision stimulated my desire to go even deeper into my own understanding of dance in nature. To know that what he was seeking was so close to the root of what Isadora Duncan’s dance is all about…and to be able to help him explore this was one of the most invigorating experiences of my career.”
        —Lori Belilove, Artistic Director, Isadora Duncan Dance Foundation, and Natural Dance dancer

“I believe anyone who loves women, and who loves nature will love Hal Eastman’s dance photographs. They are presented with great respect, sensitivity, unique imagination, and stunning craftsmanship.”
         —Anna Halprin, dancer, author, and teacher

“Hal Eastman’s ethereal images in Natural Dance capture the very essence of the relationship between dance and nature, and the intuitive in dance.”
         —Ruth Bernhard, photographer

“These images come to my mind unbidden; the beautiful flowing tone of them, the high and consistent tone of them.”
        —Sam Abell, National Geographic photographer, teacher, and author

“Truly extroardinary, celebratory work—nature in flight.”
        —Margie Gillis, Margie Gillis Dance Foundation

“Stunning photographs of formally trained dancers, dancing free form in natural settings, fill this beautifully designed and moving book. Using unusual photographic techniques, author and photographer, Hal Eastman, captures the beauty of the dancers as they set aside their training and move with the waves, wind, grass and trees. Superbly designed and printed, it is in the top three of the perhaps thousands of books of photography I've read and studied.”
