I hope more of the pre-Simulationist group come and see this seminal work. Have you posted a link to it on our blog or on the Gather group site? I hope so. I feel lonely here with this comment, but I´m glad because as I hope you know I am one of your biggest admirers of your polyfaceted multimedia work.
A big kiss and a hug from Granada. Keep innovating, and setting new visual standards for yourself and other artists in this new world of social connectivity.
You play with the evolving conventions of the butoh form (which is relatively new in labanotational terms, since Hiroshima) with confidence and mastery. You´ve also really gotten accomplished with your objective in front of the camera.
This video is your most accomplished work to date, my dear Brenda. I loved the way you move back and forth between the solarized image of the mother-lover-dancer on the bed, and the actual image, in a brilliant use of black and white. The music of bells and piano complements the slow mudra gestures of the woman in this position of acceptance and release in full openness beautifully. I wonder what Twyla Tharpe would think of the use of the birth posture as an initial gambit to the dance?
