May I introduce Harald Kreutzberg to you...
like a father he brought my Grandmother a doll from his tour in the U.S. in the late 20th
of the last Century. He was a German Expressionist Dancer... has studied dance with Mary Wigman (look at her witch dance!) and Rudolf Laban.
As I browse through my memory I remember
early movies in TV at Sundays... Fred Astair and Lucille Bremer in 'Yolanda And The Thief'... or Greta Garbo in 'Mata Hari'...
...and on to live performances e.g. of Anne Teresa de Keersmaeker with her
ROSAS on Kampnagel here in Hamburg...
ROSAS on Kampnagel here in Hamburg...
and dances by herself
the beautiful 'Performance 13:On Line' in the MoMA
... I wasn't there... but one day... one day... Like in Berlin last year as
I have enjoyed the dancing of
I have done my weekly lesson of the Feldenkrais method yesterday...
consciousness through movement. We have played at the twill of the spine...
For me dance means a lot of spirituality... it connects one with heaven and earth... with ALL.
So I take the motive of dancing dervishes on a black and white floor... inspired by 'Yolanda and the thief' vide supra... and draw it pure only with a pencil on paper.
Sweet Patrice is our host this week with her thrilling theme DANCE. Move your body.. and mind... to her exciting place and dance with inspiring artists around the world!
And: This sweet lady here, Elisabeth once Textilspanieln aka Garnapa reminded us to draw
two years ago. I did any drawing challenge here by now... every of the last 100! and it really has changed my life... for me it is a rehabilitation... after my study with censure. To do the challenge week after week and to meet you, very inspiring, favourable friends is important for me. I feel like a million dollars... Thank you all! From the bottom of my heart!

Love to you! Happy weekend!
Hach, herrlich, du hast den Bogen wieder weit gespannt und jetzt weiß ich, was ich für die nächste ladies night brauche: alte schwarz-weiße Tanzfilme! Yeah.
AntwortenLöschenBei Wigmanns Tanz dachte ich mir so, dass in dir unter dem aparten Äusseren insgeheim ne wilde, expressive Hummel steckt und das Ende passt ja dann schön zu meinem Beitrag.
Freu mich auf "Paris", wenn wir die orangen Tücher schwenken.

What a beautiful story you tell. And your drawing - beautiful. I love the beauty of a pencil drawing. Happy weekend to you! I am so glad to be able to join in with these challenges.

i love the bottom of your heart as much as all of the rest. on televised black & white dance spectacles i must add, YES! me too, i have fond memories such as those and thank you for reminding me of this. ATDK i saw once, in belgium, and i was stunned at her performance, as with derwishes i went to see once upon a long time ago, so mesmerizing.
AntwortenLöschenalso thanks for showing us pirate sara in almost action, and for slipping in elisabeth, our initial instigator. ...
you are a worldly soul, a warm hearted woman. thxs for all the effort you show, time and again.

Liebe Ariane, ich bin gerade durch Deine Links getanzt, von der alten Zeit in die Moderne, welch eine wunderbare Reise! Und Derwische...sehr faszinierend! Um ehrlich zu sein, mir wird schon beim Zuschauen schwindelig! Aber das Meditative am Tanzen, das zu sich und zum Körperlichen finden, sich erden und abheben und wieder erden, das ist dort wie in so ziemlich allen Tanzformen wesentlich.
AntwortenLöschenFreue mich auf die nächsten 100 challenges!!

Well Ariane, I will be coming back to view more and more and more of your links. What treasure. I am feeling like popping some pop corn (really, all I have is potatoe chips in a bag but that will have to do) to munch on while I view these links. Thank you for the fun time in advance!!! Norma, xo
