This video shows the first section of the piece “D-Man in the Waters” choreographed by the renown American choreographer, Bill T Jones. This piece was choreographed in 1998. It is danced by the Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company. The music is Mozart.
What strikes me about this piece is how the energy flows, shifts and turns throughout. It is up lifting, joyful and light and I feel carried along with the current. The lighting sometimes bright and sometimes dim and dappled gives texture and highlights to the dancing.
The beginning is gorgeous, and I can’t but help think of shifting sand at how the dancers group and disperse only to regroup again in variations of the motifs all through the dance.
I love the energy from the dancers and appreciate the beauty and their honesty amd joy in pure movement!
Just a note, Bill T Jones is dancing in this! Can you identify him? and listen for the sounds he makes while he dances!… sounds like he is having a great time!
A lovely piece!
