CAMP: "A cornucopia of frivolity, incongruity, theatricality, and humour." "A deadly, winking, sniggering, snuggling, chromium-plated, scent-impregnated, luminous, quivering, giggling, fruit-flavored, mincing, ice-covered heap of mother love." "The lie that tells the truth." "Ostentatious, exaggerated, affected, theatrical; effeminate or homosexual; pertaining to or characteristic of homosexuals."

What are you saving yourself for?
Now Is All There Is: Bodies in Motion, an exhibition of 34 stylised images of Royal Ballet dancers taken by photographer Rick Guest.
The exhibition takes its name from a quote by choreographer George Balanchine calling for his dancers to be "in the moment", to never hold back and to give everything: "What are you waiting for? What are you saving yourself for? Now is all there is!"
Now Is All There Is: Bodies in Motion is on display from 25th – 27th January 2013 The Gallery at The Hospital Club in Covent Garden.
