Shamar Rooks, Jookin' Artist and New Ballet Trainee, performs an improvised Dying Swan for 200 first and second graders at Hanley Elementary in Orange Mound (Memphis, TN). The Orff Music teacher was delighted at how captivated the young audience was while listening to the French composition. This performance was followed by Peter and the Wolf and sponsored by the Community Foundation of Greater Memphis.
Came across this video by chance. Great discovery. Just wonderful, pure visual poetry. THIS is the true translation in a modern language of Fokine's masterpiece. The best I've seen so far. Thank you Shamar for sharing it with us.
