Art, health & social progress - all in one package, delivered the past few nights at BAM Next Wave.

Ohad Naharin, 21st-century heir to Martha Graham and very much his own man. Gaga developed out of a serious injury, and what seems to be an innate generosity of spirit:

I didn’t only develop what was good for me, but I had to develop what was good for other dancers: recognizing one’s weaknesses, getting in touch with efficiency of movement and multi-dimensional movement, explosive power, the connection between pleasure, pain, and effort…

One hour and 10 minutes, give or take a few, was all it took for 17 highly individual dancers, working with exquisitely honed art, solo and in ensemble, to reclaim glorious, pugnacious renaissance humanism for our benighted age.

At last, maybe I found someone who can help me put Teotihuacán in some rational context.

Definitely read her book Thinking with Things: Toward a New Vision of Art. In the meantime, I’ll start quoting:

My argument is that naturalism is always potentially available for the artist – that is, it does not take generations to master it – but only at certain times has it been chosen as a preferred visual language.

More to come. As is my usual practice, I’ll provide a minimum of commentary and analysis, but try to complement with links etc when I can.
