Late spring ballet

 

 

Recent randomness

So I dyed my hair completely black again. I like being an enemy of Clerasil and Snow White is my idol.
I got through another performance of Cascades from Elite Syncopations.

(Picture is last spring not yesterday. Sadly I had no time or energy to take pictures.)
I can't say it went particularly well, but I do love performing. The air is just different on stage. It's an aquarium of something else. I love loosing myself and all words in movement.

A very casual outfit when I went to see my friend on Friday. I just couldn't wait using the Paris Window skirt.

The pink days continue. I lived in a pink room all my childhood. Then when teenage set in, I just couldn't stand pink anymore. The usual story, black/dark colours are my armor. Maybe I've gone full circle back to pink again. (Detail: I'm wearing my Essi's world's happy pill necklace.)

Pina-" Dance, dance, otherwise we are lost"

So a 3D contemporary dance movie about a choreographer/dancer Pina Bausch. Again it's very hard for me to think how a person who has never danced would see it, but my husband expected to be completely bored and wasn't, even liked it. I cried through most of it. Laughed sometimes. Sometimes wasn't quite sure which one of those I was doing. Don't expect a plot. This is a tribute made with love for this artist. There are very few words. It is mostly dance offering a lot of visual inspiration. Often dance taken away from stage and put into breathtaking landscapes. Also an eye opener to how beautiful human bodies of all ages are. I started to visually prefer the older dancers.  It's about emotions, taking the personal to the level of universal. Don't expect to learn a lot about Pina particularly personally. The movies is about as the dancers put it "As if Pina was a part of all of us, and we are all a part of her". In that way you will get to know her, more personally.

 

For anyone looking for visual inspiration, I really recommend this!
