pherank Posted April 15, 2017 Share Posted April 15, 2017 We now get a brief look at Justin Peck's THE DECALOGUE with Music by Sufjan Stevens at NYC Ballethttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l7jXp0qFz0Y The video has a great 1940s Modernist feel to it - reminds me of two Maya Deren shorts:A Study In Choreography For Camera (1945)https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9D3e12rq9c&spfreload=10Ritual in Transfigured Timehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKyYI7i3FVM&spfreload=10 I just hope that the full ballet is able to retain some of this feel. But who knows what it will really be like? Link to comment
sandik Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I see what you mean about the relationship to Deren -- part of it is the way they move in and out of the frame. She is still a highlight for me. I agree, though, that we really can't tell much about the ballet from this. Stylish, yes -- informative, not so much. Link to comment
