Watched Nederlands Dans Theatre last sat at Esplanade Theatre
Theres 2 dance
1) Memoires d'Oubliettes
it started off wif multimedia showing the name n some introduction. The settings is a those kind of longstrip surrounding the stage, where dancers enter n exit mysteriously,
this piece dancers were better, can show more of their technique, their padeda very flow n 'elastic',
it ended wif a dancer n multimedia, think the dancer shd dance to the steps of the media but the steps nv blend think cos quite hard, the dancer nid to avoid the cans dropping n adhere to the timing when cans drop. so i think the multimedia might b an extra n might be something tat an audience might criticise. the dropping of the can let me imagine our Sword Chess, Mr Roh also wanted chess to b droped but NDT dancer can run away b4 it drops we have to stay there n let the chess hit us...
2)Sehnsuct
this is a very genius piece, the choreographer built a box where it can turn 360 degree, so when it turns a dancer when lying down will then become standing up, also the chairs n table set inside the box were glued so strong tat it can hold a dancer upside down, also only the dancer wif tat very long legs can dance in this piece as only long legs can fit the right angle so tat when it turns the leg can hold tightly to the box.
but the grp piece alittle too sq too ballet, though some things we can copy in terms of space n direction, n i dun noe y the female dancers have to b naked, jiji say tat the choreographer might want to protray in image tat there is no diff in gender.
After all, i think the standard of these grp is nt as gd as the last time they were here, maybe al ot of them were just being promoted from NDT II to NDT I, some just joined last yr, but they were still very very gd, after watching i have the urge to quit dancing s i noe i can nv ance like them,
Haiz, this is the 1st time o walked out of esplanade alone, the feeling was so funny, everytime after perf we will sure share our views with each other, but this time, i just lost everyone when i walked out of the theatre, n also leaving my phone at DES i was uncontactable. i left myself to DEs to take my phone. last time we share comments with frds this time i can only share to a screen.... my life become more n more lonely..........
