dancing history
i have never seen a dance piece titled "comfort woman" with a footage from live interview. it even adds a little twist that the dancer is actually male who is initially dressed in woman's attire. i enjoyed the violent yet connected movements that spring a sense of hope from the dancer's body... and his smiles.

artwork for the day
this performance made me (re)think about the representation and movement of the body as art itself. perhaps it is the inevitable narcissism in me (or in human nature) that makes me believe that our bodies are one of the most powerful means to a work of art. two points to think about:
there is no doubt that the dancers here are technically trained to a degree that most people are not.
what would happen to this piece of bach's music was not used and the dance was done in silence?
