    Still one of my favorite pieces of choreography i've ever seen. Just brilliant on so many different levels.

    This is what I always tell people, dance isn't always about the turns and the tricks. It's about the creativeness and the artist aspect of it. The way you show the emotion. Amazing numbers can be the simplest choreography.

    I have danced for 22 years. Broken every toe, stretched every muscle, felt every ake and pain a dancer can feel,
    I have also felt the bliss of feeling as though your body has become the framing of a sound/word/ energy. My limbs laying , draped over the music.
    The sound holding me together, not vica versa ,
    I have felt that Devine grace , where body and vibration become one union.
    Where we are of no significance, yet we are essential,
    to the forming of the moment.
    I have felt that feeling.
    In this piece they ride the sound as if it were made to form there shape.
    It’s exquisite.
    And it brings me back to the moments I have felt just that present and aligned.
    Amazing!!! I have seen thousands of dance videos, but seldom does a heart also go with the image.
    This is full of heart.
    I tip my hat to the entire journey it took to make this video.
    It’s truly a thing of beauty. Divinely channeled from life’s most delicate , and most fierce form.
    The human body.
    I am in awe.
    Thank you dancers. Your work does not go unseen.

  • @DivaOfSuburbia
    @DivaOfSuburbia 12 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    The whole time I just kept thinking, "this is unreal."
    That such human inclinations and feeling can be captured in gesture....I-just. gah..
    I have no more words

    Art in motion. I know this is almost 10 years old but I always come back to it. ENCHANTING, INSPIRING, POWERFUL.

    I love how one little touch sets the other dancer's body into motion. So many intricacies in the choreography. Beautifully danced you two. Bravo!

    Emma Portner is one of the hottest dancers on the New York City scene. Her company Flock'd will soon be doing a world tour starting in Europe.

  • @jamesp.palamara6388
    @jamesp.palamara6388 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I once said that dancers, like myself, have the privilege of holding , then framing sound.
    That it is as if we rest our souls on shapes and vibration of the musical artist.
    In the grace of this dance, I’m transported through feeling.
    Truly, truly phenomenal.

    I like this version of the song better than the original tbh. Didn’t even know this song existed really until I saw this video.

  • @peachiecheeks
    @peachiecheeks 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    you'd think watching it over and over it would lose it's emotion, but I feel it more each time I watch.

    After watching this some 40 times in the last couple of weeks I think it would be fair to leave a comment: this for me is perfection. The choreography, the dancers, the song, poetry in motion.

  • @kimberleychia4180
    @kimberleychia4180 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've never commented on a video before but I had to on this one - it's been 4 years since I first saw this video and I still keep coming back to it frequently: on bad days, on good days, on days where I need a cheering up. Today was one of those days, and this video never fails to make my chest feel a little lighter and it all a little warmer. Thank you for that; I think it takes the best sort of art to do that. :)

  • @evelienmarlier6658
    @evelienmarlier6658 ปีที่แล้ว

    For inspiration in my choreographic work, I played Tunglio by Olafur Arnolds over this video, and the goosebumps came alive and basically jumped off my skin for most phrases.
    Not that I don't love the music. I love everything that happens in this 3&1/2 minutes of genial stimulation and cinematographic perfection.

    @aldenhenderson3048 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    I'm pretty sure I watch this at least once a day. Your work (Matt Luck, Emma Portner, and Emily Shock) inspires me so much to just want to choreograph no matter if I'm sore, sick, tired, or whatever. Just lovely.

    After watching this for the fifteenth time I decide to share with friends. I copy the info and paste into an e-mail. This pasted along with it:
    "When you're in a relationship that is stuck at it's lowest point. The days are so long. But you have no desire for it to change. You get used to it and you accept it."
    It took my breath away. My life recently was this. Change it. Don't accept. Life is too short. Wipe the tears away and take life on. Time Heals, Life WILL be better. BEAUTIFUL video.
