Ballet Wednesday #12

Today is such good timing for Ballet Wednesday because today when I logged onto the computer I saw the pretty little google sign animated in memory of Martha Graham.  Today is the day Martha Graham was born.  A legendary Choreographer as well as dancer.  So for her birthday this ballet Wednesday is for her.    She had an astounding impact in the dance world and brought whole new meanings to the forms of modern dance.

"I have spent all my life with dance and being a dancer. It's permitting life to use you in a very intense way. Sometimes it is not pleasant. Sometimes it is fearful. But nevertheless it is inevitable."  -Martha Graham

La danse - Le ballet de l'Opéra de Paris

Yesterday I watched this amazing documentary about the Paris Opera Ballet.  I had been meaning to see it forever now! And it was playing on tv.  I loved seeing all of the different choreography and peices they worked on in the film. 
All you dancers out their if you havn't seen it yet I would suggest you do! And people who aren't dancers but can appreciate the art of ballet and morden comtemporary ballet should watch it as well!

I definitly got goosbumps during on the the last dances.  This woman is dancing on stage with two children also on stage sitting in front of her.  She danced with such feeling, and then in the end she picks up a bucked and the kids stand up and she starts throwing red liquidy paint stuff at them.  They lay their on the floor with buckets on their heads, dead, and she moves, lost in a world of her own.

Hope you all are having a great week! Happy Wednesday! Next Wednesday I am going to on my way to BERLIN!! =) yay!

Love Sigrid
