Dance Film / 30 min / 2002 Saburo Teshigawara's dance piece Absolute Zero explores the condition of total stillness. The heart of the two-hour long stage production was adapted for the screen with the appropriate and consequent purism. Teshigawara and his partner Kei Miyata develop an almost unnoticeable inner speed and yet everything flows to the minimalist music of Gurdjieff and Thomas de Hartmann. Directed by Jan Schmidt-Garre Produced by PARS MEDIA Co-Produced by ARTE and BR Nominated for the Dance Screen Award in Monte Carlo WWW.PARSMEDIA.COM

who know, he doesn't seem to be related to the movements otherwise he wouldn't have been too mechanical. His dance is far form being part of Gurdjieff's movements. The only things related to G. are the music and the word "absolute" beyond that ,he is just an ordinary contemporary dancer.
you under estimate him, it looks like you don't know his work, he's far of being just an ordinary contemporary dancer, he's a great choreographer and "metteur en scene" too, shouldn't judge by this...check "luminous"
mmmm... Well Thanks for the information. But I still think contemporary is not good. It feels to what we call contemporary dance today is going through what in the architectural real is known as the international style or the modernist movement that came around the 1920's and 1930's. They both try to depart from the old norms which is alright, but not my taste. Any ways in comment below I used the word ordinary in the sense of "The forth way" ideas. Sorry for confusions.
wow...I don't have the program notes, don't know what these two represent...but I can imagine the Black as the fast-pace movement of this world; the media, pollution, pop culture, the invasion of human to the earth, Practicality...at the meantime the White resembles the Truth, the Will (if you must go philosophical), the fate lies ahead and stays unknown but clear to see...maybe he could add a third for the "in-between", for everything else that's neither black or white...this is inspiring!
wow, I love the first piece, I'm producing a feature film call "In Absolute stillness" you can watch a little preview with the same name, I would love to use a piece of your work.
