We shan't be lost

"Dance, dance -- otherwise we are lost" ~Pina Bausch

Well, why not?

Last weekend I had the good pleasure of attending a performance of Momix - Botanica.  I had no idea what I was in for.  All I knew was that the single show photo I saw looked 'weird'.  That was good enough for me!  What I experienced awed me to the point that when I approached the performing art center's executive director to rave following the show, I was so choked up I could not speak at first.  At length I managed to tearfully mutter, "Thank you."  She simply replied, "I know."

Such is the power of dance.  Moses Pendleton's 'dance-illusionists' took me to another place, more universal and primal than geographic. I was transported in every sense.  Despite that my entire new business venture is born of the desire to share the life-affirming, soul-igniting force of dance, I was still surprised at how knocked off my feet the Momixperience rendered me.  I would have expected to be delighted and my views on dance validated.  I was not prepared to be catapulted so far from my mental home base.  Here is a promo clip hinting at the sublime reality Momix shares with the hoi polloi.

Along the same lines of transcendent dance expression, earlier this year, a film was released in tribute to Pina Bausch, quoted at top.  Here is the trailer:

What these two trailblazing enterprises do via stage performance and cinema, I hope to do one-on-one through intimate infusion experiences.  I delight in inspired transplendence at these sorts of artist expressions.  I pray that will never change.
