I think it can be rather self-indulgent as an art form, but what I’ve seen (obviously cherry-picked by the recommenders) has often been interesting.

I recall being fairly impressed by the performance piece in Legal Eagles (an otherwise unimpressive movie, mind you).

I liked it, and agree that it’s a unique creative work on the part of the choreographer. I wonder, though, what kind of “touch” the dancer has to have to keep from blowing out a knee or an ankle in the dark. I’m not a dancer, but I’ve played a lot of sports, to include several styles of martial arts, and I know it can be pretty disconcerting for the lights to suddenly go out in mid-jump, even if you know it’s coming.

I can’t recall ever attending a dance performance of any kind. I don’t know that I know what I would be looking for. I assume I would be looking to be moved by the beauty of the movement and the grace and the athleticism. I’ve always intended to learn what I am looking for, and to go, at some future unspecified time which has never come. So, for me, the dance posts are informative and educational.

That was superb. What a creative vision, and the impact is astounding. I will now look up David Parsons in hopes of finding a performance scheduled in NYC sometime in near future.
So nice to be enlightened by the new: from jello to bacteria to dance, etc. Learning all sorts of new things here!
(Note: That’s over & above the many new dimensions and characteristics — correction: character flaws — of Barack Obama, whose goal seems to be to enlighten us of his shallowness and transparency all on his own!)
