Pina (2)

Finally had the chance to watch this beautiful documentary-style movie about the German choreographer Pina Bausch. It is incredible how many different emotions come across her dances without a single word. I found some parts too abstract for me but nevertheless interesting. These are some of my favourite scenes. You can watch the trailer here.  Oh and the music is great!

I want to watch this tribute to choreographer Pina Bausch.

Guangdong acrobatic troupe of China

When I first saw this photo in a guide I thought it was definitely photoshopped. Turns out the dancers/acrobats of the Guangdong company can actually perform these crazy poses. Learn more about their future performances here.

Crazy!

Rudolf Nureyev

Yesterday was the 18th anniversary of Rudolf Nureyev's death. Such an inspiring man.

Ballet Russes

I am going to an exhibition on Diaghilev and the Golden Age of Ballet Russes tomorrow at the V&A...can't wait!

Vertical Road

I saw this dance performance the other day and was very impressed. Seeing it live was a lot more dramatic than watching the video though.

Manuel Vason

Manuel Vason's photographs are theatrical and very impressive. He likes photographing performers.

Sylvie Guillem again

Smoke

I like

Eonnagata

If you find yourself in the UK's capital in July don't miss your chance to see Eonnagata, a performance with Sylvie Guillem, Robert Lepage and Russel Maliphant at the Saddler's Wells. Despite the fact that Alexander McQueen never designs costumes for performances he couldn't resist Guillem's request and he designed the costumes. Can't wait!

Nice

I love this picture.
