the unbelievable pilobolus-contemporary

Okay
this is general about contemporary dance rather than DID itself..

when I took tapdancing a year ago...we had to give performances at the end of the semester(group ofcourse) and it was a compulsory routine for all dance students..even amateurs..the silliest performance I thought belonged to the contemporary...then on teh other hand I realised how difficult the body control was..nt that I would ever try it

among the many dance concerts that I have watched Live , the most fabulous has to be Pilobolus

the first dance I saw, I was thinking..where is the guys/girls hands going. where is his/her face..what kind of a contortion is this and all strange thoughts..


but as I contineud to watch it I was just getting more and more astounded by their performance..

this was mesmerizing..the closing act of the day

PS: I fell in love with Jun Kuriyabashi's solo called "pseudopodia" and I stalked the media manager..told him he wasnt selling enough DVDs and requested him t tell me SOME means of getting pseudopodia.... he tells me to check youtube...😆
whatever... Im stalking them in every social n/w website😃

Im not a fan of contemporary myself as I mentioned


but I was blown away by their performances...


I dont connect with a lot of dances as well...it happens...sometimes some dances just need the magic touch for understanding



Last but not the least...I hope none of the masters ever see pilobolus and try their lifts
LOL

Im gonna post a few of their innovations

SHadow dance is one of their most famous pieces

SHIN LIFT


not sure what it is..but i gt worried after seeing thois...one of the 2 guys is with cirque de soleil now

dead meat lift

calf stand

the lantern-SEE JUN!!!




I Promise not to spam any more pics!

wow amazing...I wonder how they do that and how long must it take for them to master these...simply beautiful and artistic.

they are auditioned and trained...it is a continuously evolving dance troupe...dancers retire..and new dancers enter the troupe...

and how they do it....they just give a standard answer..It is all about WEIGHT balance and discovering yourself :)

their workshops are super fun to watch!😊

When u look at their expressions, they look so much at ease...gr8 amount of training and dedication...

Caroline fabulous find...never had heard or known of Pilobolus dance..

^haha I remember the whole expressions thing

mostly there are innumberable lifts and weight sharing involved

and they were asked how they do it without the difficulty showing on their face ..and one of them replied that ya its tough not only do I have to lift a fully grown man single handedly but I also have to pretend its easy...lol..

:D


its amazing....and they were my initiation to LIKING contemporary iin the first place...

Look at the smooth and clean transitioning and the strength...You can never see any pain on face or in body while lifting or carrying one or more...Fantastic...TFS..

google them...(I know Im acting like their PR)

they were even on Conan o brian sometime


actually they post videos of some of the performances that inspire them on their blog...it can be a very interesting read..all of them are awesome personalities to listen to...

sorry abt spamming

the video performance of Rushes...which s the second video i posted..
I saw it live..it is over 6 minutes I think..so this is just one half of their performance


Im going to spam their media guy for a DVD release again...they are so worth the money spent on them
