It was 25 years ago that Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker, who was still very young then, created Rosas danst Rosas. It became a classic and has been learned over and over by new groups of dancers. Today Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker is once again taking her place on stage and to dance with three members of the second generation, Cynthia Loemij, Sarah Ludi and Samantha Van Wissen. | 4, 6, 7, 8/02/2009 - Kaaitheater (Brussels)

  • Do you know which piece in particular it is?

  • Correction: the music is NOT by Steve Reich, but is composed by Thiery De Mey and Peter Vermeersch, 2 Belgian minimalist composers. The music was composed for the piece Rosas Danst Rosas.

  • BREATHTAKING.

  • @DTyrrell007 just type in 'dangerous cow' and it'll come up :)

  • @smu03dh where's the smack the pony version?

  • Maravilhoso!

  • me encanta!

    

  • did a dance inspired by this, was pretty epic.

  • @custardispeasant Yeah, sure, I do agree - it certainly added to an already dramatic and well executed piece to have all the sudden cuts and different angles - I'm just over sensitive to the politics of editing and censorship that has to take place in any kind of cutting of film - ie at this level, we are being controlled more by the camera/film editor than being able to see possibilities and relationships between the dancers for ourselves...

  • I have a really short attention span, so I think it speaks to the power of the dance that I finished the video. The movement is amazing!

    @strav12 This might be stupid, but I found it neat that the performance 'worked' from all the camera angles, as if the dance wasn't choreographed for a conventional audience. I find it strange that with a lot of other contemporary western performance, the choreographers *rely* on conventional theatre style stage/audience separation. I hope that made sense...

  • this is amaaazzziinnnggg!!!!
