Hi...Yes, I've had the opportunity to see the video and experience Forsythe firsthand. The 9points technique has been adopted in most contemporary dance companies who have had the pleasure of working on a Forsythe ballet. It's true he gained national recognition choreographing "ballet," but interestingly he is working in a medium now that is pretty much a departure from that. All of his dancers have tremendous foundations in ballet, which creates a dynamic and a vocabulary that is unparalleled..they can do anything. However, what I just saw -his "human rights" installation, was an exercise in live art, participation, and mixed medium...It was fascinating! I'll talk to you soon! Sarah
Aidan,
I just posted two pieces of Forsythe you must see. Have you seen him do his work "solo?" it's fairly new and features him for a change. I think it's brilliant. I thought of you when I posted it, let me know what you think!? Sarah
Aidan!!!Thank you so much for joining! It's in the early stages, so let me know what you think we should add/take away. I hope all is well and maybe we could get together over your break? xoxo, sarah
