Divenire

From Freeway Dance Centre, a Classical and Contemporary dance choreography on Ludovico Einaudi’s Divenire.

I’ll be honest. I don’t really understand Classical dance and I find it hard to appreciate, because my dance-sensibilities are almost always heavily grounded in the rhythmic beats of a drum or the smooth underbelly of a bass lick.

Nevertheless, this dance definitely adds another kinetic layer of depth to the already beautiful song. There is a sense of growth, of longing, of release.

This is a dance of freedom, of fighting against constraints and on letting yourself go.

Enra – “Pleiades”

Simply Mesmerizing.

Enra, a performance troupe from Japan, seeks to marry the beauties of dance, technology, and visual art into pure amazement that transcends all three forms.

It’s almost as if you can visualize the energy and “meaning” behind the dance through the light and shapes projected on stage. It really is experiencing dance in an entirely new way. Almost spiritual in nature… Wow. It’s just an absolute joy to behold.

I’ll shush now and let you enjoy the piece!
