Ophelia (1946) Commissioned score by John Cage, performed by Jerry Benton Danced by Leslie Dillingham Excerpted from Dance & Myth: The World of Jean Erdman For More info visit http://jeanerdmandance.com/
This dance is about a woman having a crisis--Who comes up against a life experience "so terrifying" that it cannot be "resolved" "absorbed" or "even understood" according to Erdman.The sequel to this dance is "passage" seen also on this channel.
This dancers name is Leslie DIllingham Freyberg.During the time this dance was recorded she was known as Leslie Dillingham alone.She is a Sanskrit scholar (these people do NOTHING to advertise themselves..SO you may as well until they get really,really annoyed with you..) Chanter and Yoga instructor.Her website is ChantWIthLesliedotcom
"You've got to bleed for the dancer"--"Heaven and Hell"-Black Sabbath (Rest in peace Ronnie James Dio) This theme of dismemberment has reminded me so much of fragility of life and the ongoing process of maintaining ties and connections to oneself as well as others..Dillingham dances beautifully.
