Body cinema: Dyad 1909 (In The Spirit Of Diaghilev) by Random Dance Company
February 26, 2010 · Posted by Personal Cyber Botanica ·
Thanks to the fact that I’m following Icelandic composer Olafur Arnalds on Facebook I got the link to 26 minute BBC footage of Wayne McGregor’s choreography ‘Dyad 1909 (In The Spirit Of Diaghilev)’ from 2009… I like them both, McGregor and Arnalds…

Critical Correspondence:Kathy Westwater with Ursula Eagly
February 24, 2010 · Posted by Dance Theater Workshop ·
Ursula: What about your time alone in the studio? What are you doing while you’re there alone, literally? There are so many ways to talk about dance, and I’m very interested in articulating it in the most literal way.
Kathy: It’s very difficult to do that, as you know, I’m sure. Dance functions on so many different levels. It’s the human body. And much of what occurs in the human body is seemingly formless. We have these debates about what comatose people are able to apprehend or not apprehend . . .

Dunyati Alembic at Kripalu
February 16, 2010 · Posted by DANCEMEDITATION ·
In its beauty and integrity, the Dunyati Alembic had the deserved honor of being the Wednesday evening event in the Main Hall at Kripalu Center for Yoga in the Berkshires. The Main Hall is a high vaulted temple, dramatically lit, with soft carpeted floors, and Wednesday evening is usually a community kirtan with many attendees. February 10th, the Alembic conducted the meditation by leading the observing community of 75–80 people into a deepening interior world with our Dancemeditation.
Our program was an hour in length with all nine members remaining in the Witnessed Arena the entire time. The dancers, wearing pale, ...
