Les sauvages_Dance

[deciomure45]

applausi stentati !! PER UNO SPETTACOLO MERAVIGLIOSO! Ma forse il pubblico era affascinato e si aspettava che la cosa continuasse!!!

[deciomure45]

semplicemente divine!

[MOnsabre]

Sont-elles des sauvauges, o des puritanes? Hahahaaha

Com esta apresentação, o coreógrafo, certamente, quis mostrar a participação dos brancos em contrataste aos peles vermelhas, dançando bem ao estilo barroco. Ficou magnífico! Bravo!

Les bases du ballet sont posées aux XVII-XVIII s.

On voit bien d'où viennent le ballet du XIXs. et le ballet russe bien plus tardif.

fairyqueen, as an amateur observer of ballet, I thought your choreography was appropriate to the music. I liked this so much better than another youtube video of the dancers costumed as Native Americans doing movements that reminded me of The Bangles, Walk Like an Egyptian. Brava to you for this beautiful interpretation! Graceful!

Il est dommage que vous n'ayez rien compris à ce magnifique opéra ballet. L'interprétation avec les Indiens colle exactement à l'esprit original du compositeur et est un pur chef d'oeuvre. Cette interprétation ressemble plus à une parodie.

Splendid idea, choreography and performance! So very delightful. I don't mind if the dancers doesn't look too "sauvage". ;-)

[LazlosPlane]

I don't know if you had intended the dance to be representative ot the music's original meaning but the movements certainly do not, I think you'll agree, speak to that at all. Neither does the movement, but that might not have been your intention. Was it?

It's okay if it wasn't but you need to tell us that, or make it clear to the audience what your purpose it. I think.

[Walkemor]

I like the costumes. And i like the dance too, - but i think it should have been less "baroque ballroom". And i think the music is a bit too fast.

[tobbelmobbel]

all to fast! hell, what is that!!!

[bensoussanlise]

very pleasant for both the eyes and the ears very good dancers ,gracious,wish I could dance like that!

[bensoussanlise]

I think it's very pleasant both for the eyes and the ears!do not pay attention to people who always criticize!I wish I could dance half as well!

[terpsich]

"Le Mouvement" in the dance does not match that of the music. Please read Menestrier, Pomey, Weaver and Noverre and make Version II. You are obviously talented and passionate, now go further.

"Le mouvement" of the dance does not match that of the music. Please read Menestrier, Pomey, Weaver, Noverre, and give us version 2, you are obviously talented and passionate...I await version 2!

[EmperorTab]

Nice. I love Baroque music and that's one of my favorite pieces. The dancing definitely has the baroque feel to it.

[Ericrpw]

No I don't like. The scene should represent american salvage people. Half naked salvages dancing in an unexpected manner.

And I don't like the music neither, even if it is Minkowsky. Too rapid for me.

Sorry for being honest

[littlegiry]

Great job! It's very beautiful!

[fairyqeen]

I'm glad you like it.

[jackeddemon]

the tempo is too fast

[fairyqeen]

You are right maybe and I wasn't able to decide what interpretation of Sauvages I should use to at first. The Christies' has much more different levels and is also a little bit mysterious. But finaly I have chosen the Minkovskis' one. I think that was for our a few educated audience easier to listen and for dancers the same (they had really a little time to practice that, so they had to catch it). It is the college concert after all. When I play it on CD now at home I prefer Christies'version

[GTestarossa]

Excellent dancers and choreography!! Perhaps, consider that it might be a little tiny bit too bound to the ground from time to time. A little air und the feet would add to the gaiety.

And: _always take Christie's version_; Rameau wrote about peaceful and tranquil forests, where grandeur has no place. Christie does that.

[Lieder83]

I' m completely agreeing with you!

[LaBelleDanse]

The girl in the foreground at 00:50 is marvelous. The soft landings of her "half turn springs" are delicious, and her arm oppositions beautiful. Likewise the trio at 02:00 is quite wonderful in concept and execution. I like your work- but can't tell if you trained with the French or British school of baroque dance.

[fairyqeen]

I have been at summer school with Phillipa Waite once. And I have trained with some French baroque dance teachers e.g. Francoise Denieau, Beatrice Massin or Marc Leclerq. But the dancers on video have practised baroque dance only for 5 months and they have been influenced by classic ballet habits so much.

P.S. Sorry for my poor English
