This video shows the famous dancer, Sylvie Guillem dancing in “Two (Rise and Fall) choreographed by Russell Maliphant.
As is noted in the beginning of the video this piece demonstrates the expressive interplay between movement, lighting and sound.
The movmenet danced by Sylvie Guillem is gorgeous which shows so clearly the use of her back, so strong and expressive. Her arms flow like tendrils that unfold outwards and inwards from the back and cut the space around her. The accent of her gorgous foot is a beautiful moment and her vertical line drawn with her arm and hand powerful.
The minimal ligthing of her arms, shoulders and back accentuate the sculptural element of this piece as shadows made by moving muscles in her body highlight the beauty of the dancing body in motion.
This piece is captivating in it’s all round simplicity, calm and mediative quality highlighting the overall power and beauty of this piece.
I hope you enjoy this piece to and share it with your friends!
