Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm . . .

I had come across the effect that sound waves can have upon certain liquids before, now i am interested in the movement of the liquid and the forms that it creates; the smalls pillars that emerge seem like figures moving in a strange way



considering the motion of these figure like pillars as dance here is a video on where the figure is both liquid and distorted in what i would best describe as abstract dance


Igonoring the title of the above video as inaccurate, the dance was actually designed by Boris Zolotov who is an master of Tai Chi, and it was his intention to show the ancient traditions of the art through the dancer.

from the previous video i came to this, skip to 1:00


I came to realise that the reason for my interest in these dances is the concept that compels them, it is the use of dance as a form of self expression and expression of an art form which promotes inner strength through fluidity and softeness. In a sense the dances provoke the supernatural beliefs that I am considering, the notions of ritual and a power beyond human physicality.

Further consideration of the use of dance could produce some interesting art in the form of performance. Possibly contacting a dancer to interpret some of the work i produce.
