  • Summary

  • This week I try a new solo format called "Dancer reacts.." and do a commentary podcast on Jiří Kylián's "Petite Mort". Created back in '91 this work is by the choreographer who headed up Nederlands Dans Theater for two decades. I've been binge watching his back catalogue on marquee.tv/ and this piece and another piece "Bella Figura" I was really struck by. To watch it with me check out David's Dance Podcast on YouTube as I unpack the choreography. I also talk about photographer Tyler Mitchell's book "I Can Make You Feel Good". Mitchell's depiction of young Black Americans in playful scenarios, speaks to an artist that is reclaiming the narratives around the representation of himself and people like him, young Black men. While not dance, his work has to do with the body and how it is represented both aesthetically and in conversation with culture and historical narratives. In that way it is a great discussion launcher for those interested in dance and the performative body.
