Harald Schrader, a formally trained photographer and long-time Princeton resident, studied in Berlin and Hanover in Germany. He began his career photographing still life and architecture. He honed his craft in portrait photography, acting as first assistant to Mary Ellen Mark in New York City and Dieter Eikelpoth in Düsseldorf and London.

Harald has been especially fascinated by the challenge of depicting the human form in movement, resulting in his passion for photographing the performing arts, dance in particular. Harald also thrives on discovering new cultures and languages.

He has collaborated with performing and visual artists in Italy, Germany, the U.S.A. and Canada. Visit Harald Schader on Instagram at @harald_schrader

An innovative program featuring never-before-seen work, Kaleidoscope includes a unique collaboration between choreographer Da’ Von Doane, formerly of Dance Theatre of Harlem, and New Jersey-based visual artist Grace Lynne Haynes, whose creations have graced the cover of The New Yorker magazine. Haynes will be designing scenic elements and costumes for Doane’s new ballet, a partnership amplifying both artists’ creative talents. 

Also commissioned for the program will be a new work by ARB’s Ryoko Tanaka and pianist-composer Ian Howells, inspired by Salvador Dali’s painting titled Swans Reflecting Elephants. The program also features Claire Davison’s enchanting Bewitched set to Ella Fitzgerald’s iconic vocals. Rounding out the performance will be a dazzling classical pas de deux, choreographed by Artistic Director Ethan Stiefel, set to music by Léo Delibes and showcasing the balletic bravura of ARB’s artists.
