The man was a great artist....and he could talk about dance, too, and that is tough: one has to be alive all the way, and express the power of dance, the delicacy of it, the soul of it. Dance and percussion are the oldest arts....and Dove makes art.
Good to see a ch making dance about life/death/people/emotions -real things! -and not 'Exploring the internal/external relationship dynamic between city centric spacial themes and inter personal communication trends in a digital age, with dancers being filmed in various locations outside the theatre on specially constructed computer controlled platforms with footage projected in real time back onto the audience who see it reflected back at them on giant mirrors on stage' or some such nonsense.
Excellent! That's why I gave up dancing in the late 1980's for these very same reasons and became a Nurse instead. You cannot escape "life/death/people/emotions -real things!" in that job I can tell you.
@pddwatch81 Exactly how dancers feel. We want to experience the feelings that made us dance in the first place. Tthat whatever it may have been can be reach just one more time...on a stage, with a peer, and celebrating our movement. Its this 360* thing, the going back to the beginning that makes most dancers return....To say that im doing this because there is no other option.
Very insightful, very beautiful
