Have Mercy - Eryn Allen Kane | Dance Choreography

  Have Mercy

 When things fall apart, who do you blame?

 The world, or yourself? The circumstances that surround us can have a great deal of influence on our psyche - we are lifted up when things go our way, but brought crashing down when not so lucky. It’s times like these we ask the world to “Have Mercy”, but often the world pays no heed. We should instead ask ourselves to “Have Mercy”; to not be such harsh self-critics, to embrace failure, and to focus on things within our control.

 This piece examines a transition in mindset, from a mentality that is swept along with ocean currents to one like a buoy, still moved by the water around it, but firmly rooted at its base. This was created for a live show - as always, I find it hard to let go of a piece after it has performed. So, I take any opportunity to re-create it for film... We created this one together and it was extremely challenging to work together. We have contrasting styles. We have different visions. At times, we had clashing ideas. But we made it through and this is the final result. We hope this one hits home.

Harmonic Three Dimentional Patterns

  I Warm Up / Stretch II Review of Solo Phrase Review of Ensemble Phrase III       Aristotle approached beauty from another perspective. Beauty is not a means to an end, but an end in itself; that is, an immediate quality. He distinguishes between end and means, identifying the latter with the useful. Useful are all everyday goods that do not become a means to something. Beauty, on the other hand, is not arbitrary, contingent, or irrational. This has served as the basis for his aesthetic to be qualified as rationalist. Beauty is contained in symmetry, which he considers the symbol of perfection, linked to the classic concept of beauty: harmony, order and proportion. Question  1 Based on the way Aristotle approached beauty,  how would you define rationalist beauty? IV   Art Nouveau In creating these harmonic designs, Laban utilizes his artistic understanding of  human anatomy, proportion, and range of motion.  Moreover, he draws on hi...
