In this episode, we celebrate artistry that endures with photographer and artist Betti Franceschi, whose book Ageless Dancers captures forty legendary New York dancers—ages 70 and up—in striking portraits that honor grace, intelligence, and lifelong creative expression. Franceschi is joined by featured dancers Ze’eva Cohen, Molissa Fenley, and Diana Byer, in a conversation moderated by James Dybas.

Together, they discuss aging in dance, the evolution of the body, and the artistry that deepens over time—offering a moving reminder that creative life doesn’t fade, it transforms.
