[Arthaus 100444] NETHERLANDS DANCE THEATRE: Jiri Kylian's Stamping Ground

@emmawithnodilemma I thought chickens on drugs :)

[emmawithnodilemma]

what kind of animal are they trying to be?!?

[TxE]

@emmawithnodilemma I thought frogs :x

[jackiehascrazytoes]

@emmawithnodilemma its based on indigenous australian dance. a lot of their dance is based on animals as well as the ability to dance as a unit. some of the movements arent actually based around animals but rather the aspect of their movements having a reaction on the rest of the group so that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

love it

This looks like theater for kids. The word "silly" comes to mind. The idea of "ilustrating the music" comes to mind as well. Not his best piece. Kylian has most amazing pieces, not this one.

Venez aux "Movimentos" qui auront lieu à Wolfsburg en été 2011 et vous allez voir danser ce groupe de sa manière originelle et géniale. Je dois dire que cet extrait me fait sourire (tant de jeunes hommes en slip, c'est ...enfin...euhmm), mais tout de même- pourqoui pas?

[billymaysbabymama]

this is an amazing demonstration of mitosis.

[SallyMurning]

where is this music from? what is it called?

[yaulumyee]

Hope this wonderful performance will inspire more choreographers and dancers to find inspiration, just when the western tradition of classical ballet looks like a dry well, from thousands of indigenous, tribal dances which have yet to be put on world stage for dance afficionados like us to admire.

In the world of the contemporary arts, I have been most impressed with dance and architecture. Maybe it is because both must strictly follow the laws of gravity. The use of percussion music in this piece by Jiří Kylián of Nederlands Dans Theatre is an added bonus.

I hate when they hit themselves in the body.

[gumbionics]

@dancingwithoutwords I am with you on that one. Pet peeve. It almost works here....almost.

[FireThunderTV]

Naked men running around on stage in public. Nice.
