Be brief, the art of dance is not my forte, so this post will not be a
review of a critique. Today I’m an ordinary percipient of art in all its
complexity and beauty, and nobody else.
Michele Wiles, American Ballet Theatre – does that ring a bell for you? If
you have never heard of this magnificent dancer till now, please look through
some biographical and career information about her at Wikipedia.com. And now,
guys, who are in the picture, the question is for you: what do you think
about Wile’s tandem with the Brooklyn-born flex dancer Jay Donn? Frankly
saying, it was a big surprise for me that Michele will go to such extremes in
her independent artistic development. It was a real drama for me when she had
decided to leave American Ballet Theatre (as to my mind, she was a splendid
performer, the best one, unique ballet dancer). I had a dim view of this
cooperation between these two contrary dancers. But my fears haven’t panned
out, fortunately.
What a brilliant experiment! This witty and extraordinary duo proved the
fact that art has no limits. Tradition is an inconstant issue on the
contemporary dance stage. Ballet and street dance can easily rub along
together. The dancers are playful, inventive; they create interesting images,
new versions of themselves but stay true and recognizable at the same time. I
have a strong desire to watch it more and more! It seems I’m totally carried
away by these cool videos.
