william forsythe - dancer Thomas McManus

[padance]

absolute Brillance!  thank you for your Mastery of Movement, William!

@nikzorion - what torpid drivel spewed in the guise of claiming to know something about choreography! To have stated that you "are quite knowledgeable" and quoting a recent tv show as your reference. Wade Robson is excellent but his best is not within the 2 min. sytycd demands. Performance occurs at multiple levels.... but you dismissed that. The forays Billy Forsythe explores are regarded within the overall dance world as some of THE top-notch explorations in neo-classical technique.

damn. this stuff's so difficult. Forsythe's a genius

Personally I think everyone is entitled to their own opinion. You know what they say about opinions. They are like a** holes, everybodies got one. But I think it is important to be open to others creative expression. There is a place in the world for everyone to express themselves creatively. William Forsythe happens to be a hero of mine and he has quite a place to express himself and his ideas as one of the most world renowned choreographers of the 21st century.

Hey Thomas, thanks so much for letting me in on the world of dance! My life would have been so much poorer without you - bless you endlessly :-)

[JJboy1992]

He's good...but the choreography is just so weird and retarted :P

[Nikzorion]

@JJboy1992 You wouldn't know good choreography if it hit you in the head.

It's called abstract and it was very good.

[JJboy1992]

@Nikzorion I'm quite knowledgeable in the field of choreography. I agree that it's abstract (extremely) and it isnt everyones cup of tea, certainly not mine. Most of this dance reminds me of the bloopers from people in so you think you can dance XD

[Nikzorion]

@JJboy1992 Yes I agree it doesn't have to be everyones cup of tea but to call it "retarted" ? come on... You should still be able to appreciate it if you are infact a knowledgeable choreographer, but after you compared it to SYTYCD i'm guessing not... This is in another league.

[JJboy1992]

@Nikzorion This is so retarted it has a league of it's own. I'm able to see the choreographer is using the dancer to manipulate him into shapes and to create different lines and angles. But, it just really does look like retarted dancing :P Take it or leave it buddy.

[Nikzorion]

@JJboy1992 If everyone used your argument this world would be full of dumb people. Your retarded due to the fact you can't appreciate this. Take it or leave it buddy.

[JJboy1992]

What's wrong with a person's opinion of thinking a choreographic piece looks retarded? You probably think that it is beautiful and I wouldn't challenge your ideal on that, so why challenge mine? If everyone used your agruement this world would be full of politicians and lawyers.

[JJboy1992]

@Nikzorion I'm leaving it, because I believe it's crap. Simple really.

[gigante1593]

[gigante1593]

[daveachino]

[kodyari]

When I see Forsythe dance, it seems like eternal movement. One movement ends and begins another movement, and it continues seems like forever. And it's just great.
