Dancer: Gama Shot at Kaohsiung, Taiwan while Cody was teaching and choreographing for Tsoying High School. “Gama was 15 years old and I felt there were potentials in her that have yet to be discovered. I invited her to the studio as I thought she has some very special energy and dynamic in her movements. Turned out that it was a photography session that not only has she surprised me but also herself, with the ability to effortlessly control her body in creating layers of momentum floating across frames.” Photo by former Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake dancer, Cody Choi Creative Director & Photo by: Cody Choi Creative Director: Ada Ooi Cody's Moving Group
