I love this! And I love that you actually DANCED through it, as well. So many dancers using veil poi just twirl around and spin their voi... they forget to DANCE. Your performance was beautiful, and inspiring - thank you for sharing :)
The dim lighting for this creates a magical effect. At times it's as if only the veils exist. Very haunting visual along with the music. The beginning of this performance has a very butoh feel to me. I like how you draw out the antisipation.
The movements with the phrasing of the music are right on and the barrell turns are a fav with the crowd. Very dramatic and emotionally impacting performance.
That was amazing. I think the darkness makes it even cooler. There's a remix of that song that was used in the Lord of the Rings previews that would have worked a bit better though :)
THese veils are 3.5 yards long and 52inchs in width. There weave wieght is about 6mm. They are pretty standard silk bellydance veils. Im not quite sure what you mean by 7' size? I hope that information helps... :)
The video camera made it look alot darker than it really was. I tried to brighten it but it just turned gray. I will be getting some better vids up soon.
Not sure about the first one, but the second one is "Requiem for a Dream" Which I think is from one of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Awesome dancing, btw.
The song is called Lux Aeterna and is one of the main songs from the movie "Requiem for a Dream" The first song is from the first Underworld Score CD. :)

It was a beautiful performance. I just wish it wasn't so dark to see you more. So innovative to use the gothic and veil poi
