dc dance




dance, dans, Tanze, danse, danza
i like that word 
the sound of it
the joy in it
i like to dance 
i love to watch people dance
bodies in motion can  literally take my breath away
the beauty, the energy, the language,

 modern dance especially,
i forget everything looking at those dancers
mesmerizing sensation and feeling at home at the same time,



Anna Teresa De Keersmaeker ( i've always been a great admirer of this lady)
Akram Khan ("to know is nothing at all...to imagine is everything") :)
Koen De Preter (please watch this)

i've been humming Leonardo Cohen's song all week"Dance Me To The End Of Love"

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic 'til I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love
Oh let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
Dance me to the end of love
Dance me to the end of love 



So the talented Patrice invited us to dance
on this 100th dc, please take a look at our dance party.


(dear friends, i'll visit you all in the course of the following week,
lack of time played tricks on me the past week
but you are in my thoughts somewhere... and that feels good)


have a lovely weekend
X

  2. What a beautiful painting. You paint figures so beautifully, and I love how you have brought the arms into the top and bottom. Beautifully done, and I hope this week brings you the time you need.

    "Dance me through the panic til I'm safely gathered in" seems very apropos for this week. Thank you for a lovely, calming, sensuous painting. C.

  10. These lyrics certainly fit your drawing perfectly. It's so full of emotion, so touching and moving, which is the essence of dancing, I would say. Thanks, too, for your links, especially Koen De Preter and Alpha Pouget kept my attention! So fascinating!

  12. dear Renilde,
    this post of you went straight to my heart
    like you i love dance, especially modern ballet
    and the pieces you show....
    Koen de Preter, so touching
    (his words: through dance to show life beautiful and true)
    and than Leonardo Cohen
    the lyrics, his voice
    ....

    your painting which touches me too
    the two arms embracing, protecting?
    the dancer and her shadow
    is it a dream?
    all those emotions
    and today was not a good day
    so tears come easy

    sweet you
    thank you for playing and dancing!

    love
    Patrice A.

  20. The body... the quality of your post here... it change my posture, my breathing while I look at your wonderful dancers, dear Renilde. Thank you... it makes me feeling more complete.
    Your painting... that light and shadow (of the window, great!), this feeling... sense... of your dancers, wow, really wonderful. Love it. Leonards words are completing it.

    Love
