Donna Mejia's Tribal Solo at Smith/UMASS, 2007
Loading...
Uploaded by donnabodyvision on Apr 15, 2007
Entire Solo filmed by Sean Kinlin. Donna is Visiting Artist in Residence for Smith College (2006-2008). Music is "Semename" by Mercan Dede, and "Last Mosque of Herzegovina" by Muslimgauze. Donna's Partial Program Notes: Like most transformations in dance, Tribal Fusion is a direct response to music's technical innovations and electronic experimentation. My personal approach is inspired by years of research coupled with the highest regard for my teachers and elders. This performance is offered in full gratitude for those who bore the ridicule, persecution and retribution often directed toward women who dared to dance publicly.

Oh my goodness! Such a beautiful performance. So amazing! For all those who are comparing her to Mz. Brice, Donna is in her own category. Lovely performance : )

i've always loved this video.

Perfect !!!
-
she seems to be pointing out the chakras at 2:21 . I can see how it could have an ancient feel to it
-
@degradasia This is beautiful. I loved it. But it is contemporary. There is no ancient.
-
I love how at 3:00 she accents the trill with her hand instead of her upper body as i have seen so many other dancers do to something like that.

-

yes she does display a wonderful spirit when she dances. however, it might just be me, it seems a little unfair to compare her to rachel brice as her style is quite different and she moves with her own uniqueness. rachel brice also moves with her own uniqueness. am I wrong in thinking that, or just plain crazy?
