PS #2: Dance Language
What's your favorite word or phrase, written or spoken, that describes (a) dance?-
Meg Foley · Scripps CollegeI know someone who once referred to a show as like "eating a big bowl of vanilla ice cream." Delicious but all the same and not particularly challenging. I thought that was pretty good.
-
Christina Zani"expansive" gets thrown around a lot lately, which I like. I would love it if "sizzllin' " were a po-mo compliment.
-
Sarah Baumert · University of MinnesotaSteve Paxton sometimes refers to the dance as "waking up the beast".
-
-
-
Elizabeth Schwyzer · Youth Coordinator at Unitarian Society of Santa BarbaraI'm not into favorites, per se, but I love how Edwin Denby talks about the "humanity of contradictions."
-
Kilian Kröll · Subscribed · President/Lead Coach at Third Culture Coach"the dancers swept through the ballet".
alternately: "mopped the floor". -
