"I set as my goal to be the best dancer I could be. Not the most famous or the highest paid dancer, just the best I could be. Out of this discipline came great freedom and calm."

A trio of landmark dance performances did more than just innovate; they formed a revolutionary triptych that spurred a modern dance transformation. Vaslav Nijinsky’s The Rite of Spring (1913), Martha Graham's Appalachian Spring (1944), and Alvin Ailey’s Revelations (1960) yanked dance from the heave

A film adaptation of Maddy Joss' choreography which explores themes of body autonomy, ritual and power dynamics in the world of dance
Good afternoon Tumblrinas . I just wanted to take a second to plug a film I’m producing with a very good friend. We’re currently raising a bit of money to cover costs- as this is all self produced by working artists living in EXPENSIVE ass nyc- and to generate publicity about a project I care so deeply about. The performance explores the often toxic power dynamic between dancer and choreographer, and Maddy hopes to empower fellow dancers to transcend beyond the binds of the art-form’s Pavlovian expectations. It is to be filmed in a gorgeous church space in Queens, NY to emphasize the ritualistic, ecstatic and agonizing ethos of dance. Please have a look at the Kickstarter link and share if you can!! 🩰🖤💞
Soutenu tip!
Step up to soussus and get your balance before you start the turn. It might be slow at first, but with practice, you'll be able to get on balance right away and do quicker, cleaner soutenus.

You wrote about somatics a while ago, do you have any resources for where to start?
This is the real core text of the somatics movement, and I’ve read it several times over. Mabel Todd is thought by many to have been far ahead of her time (the book was published in 1937) and a surprising majority of dancers, singers, actors, and other performance artists I know have read her work cover to cover and treat it as a sacred text in the world of physiological discipline. I would recommend reading it with a critical but open mind, and branching out into other books and articles if you need. I’m happy to recommend some that I personally found yo be interesting reads. The Thinking Body is widely available to read for free online—you can read it on the Internet Archive here.
I confessed that I had the burning desire to be excellent but no faith that I could be.
Martha said to me, very quietly: "There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all of time, this expression is unique. And if you block it, it will never exist through any other medium, and it will be lost. The world will not have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is nor how valuable nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours clearly and directly, to keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep yourself open and aware to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open."
-- Martha: The Life and Work of Martha Graham, Agnes de Mille
