Dances Viewed This Week

Thought of You by Ryan J Woodward

I had seen this video dance a couple of years ago and was floored by its simple beauty.  The animation is amazing, and takes dance to that next level, where we can actually physically transform ourselves into something else, as opposed to simply suggesting it, as our limited human bodies force us to do.

La La La Human Steps / Édouard Lock

Crisp, clear, sharp movements all done on pointe.  Two duets shown, both with one man and one woman.  Men are relegated to being props, as the spotlight very clearly only stays on the women and the men are dressed entirely in black, with a black backdrop, meaning that their heads are all that can be seen.
