Pillow Talk

It's pillow talk. It's Britney Spears gyrating underneath sheets in one of her film clips wearing a faux fur vest - Elton John and David Furnish with time on their hands laughing like children, living like lovers, rolling like thunder under the covers. It's taking photos of your lover in bed, it's making home porn and getting a rude shock because it's so shit. It's someone tickling your toes in bed. Footsies under the table. It's love. It's intimacy and the reason why you sometimes don't care about brushing your teeth before ending up in bed.

dance videos + xmas + youtube

i have been making dance videos - totally indulgent and crappy ones but they are totally a part of the ethos of my project. that is not caring about quality and placing the emphasis on content. what is actually there and what does that represent about actual life. not inflated theatricality that is throwing a blanket (and holds a pretence of superiority and knowingness about life) over the day to day existence/life. it is hard see the tenderness or frivolity or contradictions of life in so many works i see in theatres.

so i want to fall back into the darkness of how dance can actually affect/exists in real life as opposed to being a hyper representation of real life. this is exactly what these videos are. i suppose it appears conceited or show-offy in a way. but hell if i am alone on xmas day with a little glass of wine a big stereo and a new xmas shirt and full of beans i definitely would be taking a spin around this big empty room. so there it is. i see no shame in using myself as an example. i might be a little embarrassed but life is short. so i don't care.

what are the implications of youtube on dance? what does it do to the art of dance in the theatre when quite brilliant dance works, published to the whole world for free satisfy the criteria of a good dance work? clever concept, wholehearted performance, insane virtuosity in many instances, clear structure. it also presents a lot of things that are missing in dance in theatres and also bypasses so much of the crap to get to the heart of the matter.

a pirate version of my own work. a poor quality reproduction of a very bad quality video of a crappy dance. that is how i choose to use youtube on xmas day. it adds a tinge of sadness to an overall sad day.
