Imagine if you're walking in the wilderness and find an abandoned building and when you look through a window you see this woman in black just dancing by herself. I would tip toe the hell out of there.
acemachine26 through the tulips??
acemachine26 I would dance with her if she noticed me as I came in
Allusion so true. Exactly what I would do
"tip toe the hell out of there" bhahhaahhaa. historically true!
acemachine26 especially if there's no 🎵 playing 😂
This is the proof that dance can be everything, as long as there is real emotion behind it. It's really, really amazing
ORIGINAL!!! ruclips.net/video/CAAYiZwgAFc/видео.html
Just look like a crazy lady to me
@@xlrbossshorts unfortunate that you don’t have the capacity to understand art
@@kyleemeg2171 LOL, im joking XP
Although I observed this was a premonition caste 10 years ago, it perfectly captures much of the intensity of the chaos of our unknown
and yet demanding faith in the now and new of our present world. Fascinating, huh?
How the trees are crowded at the dusty windows to watch this beautiful human communicating with art in dance.
She is SO good. Just completely evocative in her expression. Creepy yet compelling. Liminal. Well done.
she is interpreting feeling of a bird in a prison......nice choreography....
lovely kumari she is specifically meant to be a raven who when exposed to the lead paint of the building dies from poisoning
it says specifically in the description the intentions behind the music and the choreography :
"Here we explore a building's decay. The choreography and original score are both in decrescendo to illustrate the building's retreat from the physical world, and Nature's advance on it."
but I like your interpretation about it.
@@pseudonym7562 wow beautiful
@@pseudonym7562 The intent of an artist is pretty much meaningless, think of a tool to guide their execution. The audience and the individual decides what it is really about. And that is what art is about. The rest is propaganda or in nowaday terms: public relations.
I like your comment. I wasn't sure what to make of the video. But, I liked it.
I did not realize this was about urban decay and how nature takes over afterward. I thought it was about some kind of emotional pain, especially when the pieces of paint fall on her. She looks like she's given up at the end. Beautiful!
but that is the beauty of art . . . interpretation is everything . . . and in the eye of the beholder it can be anything.
@@ShadyPastel Good art inspires observers to align intepretations
Put the trowel down and step away from the comment section, Mr Spunk, we don’t want any real comments to get mangled.
you can interpret it however you want
You are perfect for my assignment ty
Lovely. There's an eerie beauty to this, between the dilapidation of the building, and the unearthliness of the choreography. I'm so glad I saw this!
ORIGINAL!!!! ruclips.net/video/CAAYiZwgAFc/видео.html
😍ruclips.net/video/5dvxY6vXHsA/видео.html
perfect blend of art-dance, light, music, and crow
This is what anxiety feels like.
Keturagh G damn right
Keturagh G yup and depression
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Pretentious self-indulgence looks awfully similar.

The relationship between the dancer and the environment was perfect.
legal
The choreography is so amazing, because the only details they gave is the title and still we understand the dance and it's story. So talented.
This video is absolutely stunning, she conveyed the message well in her dance.
I am not really into contemporary dance, but that was beautiful, easy to understand between the dance and music. Dorothea is amazing!! Hope I spelled her name right.
К
isn't this modern dance or am i wrong.. ?
LuLu Bell sorry but I don't understand, can you explain me?
@@danikasan7308 You are correct. This is modern dance.
@@danikasan7308 no this is contemporary
3:40 is me when I have to wake up early and go to school.
Velura same !! xd
Velura same
Velura same hahah
Velura, that's hilarious! xD
Velura 😂
This was very moving. The paint chips worked well. The location, dancer, it's all gorgeous. I overlayed the dance with Verve's Bittersweet Symphony, and it gave the song a new feel. Plus, I love crows and ravens. I was thinking about it before the shot of the bird came up. The choreography and clothing did a really good job conveying it in a way that was accessible but not too overt. Well done and thank you for sharing your work. 💚💜
Прекрасно передан характер, инстинктивное поведение ворона, все телодвижения, повадки. М образом балерина справилась великолепно. Браво!
Рисунок яркий, техничный. справились хорошо
This was incredible, strange, breathtaking, thought provoking, weird, raw, and just downright awesome.
ORIGINAL!!!!! ruclips.net/video/CAAYiZwgAFc/видео.html
Her control gives me chills, I could feel it. It is so powerful! Amazing job done by everyone.. Please keep them coming.
There's an eerie alluring bleak beauty to this dance; really expressive. Very well choreographed and danced
It's so incredible what they can do with their bodies!! Wow!!
Music, choreography, location, wardrobe, and so much more...this is amazing work. Beautiful.
As both a dancer and choreographer myself this piece has definitely inspired me. I loved how the dancer used her settings and interacted with them, and also how the choreographer used those interactions throughout the piece to help grasp a better understanding and appreciation for the piece.
All in all, I say it's beautifully constructed. Well done.
Beautiful music, dance, imagery. This is absolute ART.
I love the way she does everything.
Absolutely stunning! The emotion, the flow of the moves the connection the dancer had with the choreography and with the audience! I love that scenery btw and that incredibly beautiful dress.
She is a medium for this beautiful dark energy....
All composition is perfect: choreography, music, the place, light! Amazing work! Thanks for this beautiful gift! The world need art!
1:11 that crow perfectly captured my reaction to this
WOOW. Beautiful dancer Dorothy Saykaly, I saw her in Sia´s Video of her song, the cover "California Dreamin"
A dream within a dream, this is so incredibly amazing!
Incredible piece of artisty. Thank you everyone for your hard work and sharing with the world. 😊❤
Utterly striking. What an incredible performer, performance and production.
This speaks to me. The interpretation, I'm sure isn't meant to be clearly understood, but definitely makes you feel. The pain is clearly seen. Beautiful dancing with beautiful display of emotion.
Someone else said that it was a bird specifically a raven who died from being exposed to lead. it poison them.
When art is meant to be unsettling……and it did
Thank you for this beautiful work.The dance is the revolution.
Many works of art are casually called beautiful, but this work IS beautiful and wonderful! Bravo!
Absolutely mesmerizing!
I don't usually go for modern dance because I tend to quickly lose focus and attention on it, but this choreography and dancing, combined with the music, was so interesting and satisfying in some way as to keep my eye glued and not want to miss a moment; I am hereby moved.
Wow! What an incredible piece of choreography, wonderfully danced & beautifully filmed. Well done to all involved.
wow. I loved this. Moving. She has amazing control.
I am memorized by this!!!!!
This is so technically perfect and the feeling it gives to viewers is amazing!!! Keep it up👏👏👏
Honestly this reminds me a lot of a Ma Kali dance, dark yet beautiful!
Wow, everything about this is beautiful!
I can't appreciate the dance as much as I can appreciate the lighting, composition and colour grading, because that's more my world, but everything is on point in this video.
Very impressive
This is the real "Black Swan"! Fantastic!
I am just spellbound, body stature and her involvement to dance n music is mesmerizing 👌
ruclips.net/video/Vi0KTmKSJCU/видео.html 🌷🌷🌷
The song is perfect, the choreography is perfect, the whole thing is just perfect
Freedom to Express through movement...priceless.
great work! Keep making more dance videos!! #danceon
my video in my channel views now , thank you
Гениально и красиво ❤❤❤
ridged fluidly perfected
I am alone in a dark house watching this...beautiful and otherworldly.
Wow! She Painted Our Inner Break-Downs So Inhumanly Through Her Every Inch Of Performance😌
Ótima apresentação, cada passo no tempo certo.2:12 sensação boa.Muitos não vê na descrição o que significa o vídeo, suas expressões, arrancando as velhas tintas de um prédio, local, urbanização mds......querida eu sei o que é mas a dança em si representa várias coisas!Cada vez que vejo, recebo de uma forma diferente porque a imaginação é minha, incrível como não percebem e não entendem a dança contemporânea!
.
whats the name of the music...where can i find it
OMG I LOVE THIS! Can't stop watching it.
Nunca vou me cansar de vê essa apresentação, é linda, perfeita, parabéns ao coreógrafo e todos que participaram pela criação e organização❤
Magnificent! She really tells the building's story.
beautiful. So beautiful. fascinating form of expression, congratulations!
Wow! This is Stunning.....Gorgeous work. Everything about this gives me life. So inspiring!!
This is the most beautiful ritual I've ever seen in my entire life 😢
magnificent outstanding
truly beautiful!
amazing location, where did you film that?
and how was it? just getting inside an abandoned place or you needed some kind of permit?
cheers!
Dance like an animal
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
You figure it out, Lucas.
I don't know about this specific location, but in my experience in production these types of locations are generally old warehouses in places likes trainyards that see little to no use, but are still owned (usually by a single person or as an asset by a much larger organization, not usually anything in between). It can be pretty difficult to make contact with the owner to get permission to shoot here, but often times they are happy to make a bit of money off a building they are not making any profit from. Pretty damn difficult to just sneak in shoot though, they are usually locked up tight to prevent vandalism, and trying to go unnoticed as a film crew is pretty much impossible.
@@ahriik yes, you are right
ruclips.net/video/8lfC9aztLTw/видео.html&ab_channel=LucasGardezaniAbduch
It is gorgeous! Beautiful dance
I feel relieved after watching this
am I the only one who was bothered by the chipping paint and had the urge to rip it off
lola yalu saaMME
It reminded me of Coraline
I was thinking that it might be dangerous to inhale the particles after tiny pieces got chipped off
That's Part Of what the Video supposedly delivers. I guess.
Este solo de danza contemporánea establece una conexión intima entre la bailarina Dorothy Saykaly, la naturaleza y las ruinas del espacio donde acontece. El pájaro, los árboles, el viento, el pastizal es un correlato del movimiento permitiendo sacar la acción de la bailarina del mero virtuosismo y colocarla en el alma del drama humano. Es una bella narrativa fílmica asociada a la danza contemporánea.
It felt like she's doing some witch and magic stuff, for example, that right now she'll open a portal to a different world. So great!!!
Coming back to see 🥰
I love it when people ask questions that are already answered in the description above.
Some device/ app combos don't allow you to see the descriptions, or only the first line or two.
This dance feels like Im reading a story on its conflict and climax. You just brought me between my 2 passions: to dance and to write.
Kyle Angel we appreciate sensitive viewers like yourself. Please do both: dance and write, they were the two very pressing needs that created this piece.
Wow, I can sea your feel in this Dance! You have talent!
Music, idea, choreographie, location using, camera- very good ! Bravo !
how exquisite! lovely work! wonderful production and performance!
Lindo 🇧🇷
Very nice job. Everything is in harmony, love the story the performance, the hidden messages and the overall emotion it gives. Keep it up
I remember watching this years ago. Can’t believe I ran into it again
1:11 is my face when I realized how cool this was going to be...
Who made the dress? It's amazing!

When pain from our inner self burst out.
Excellent work of art. I love short films

+Claire-Louise Sizer thanks, this was an original composition for the film.
+Duncan McDowall Do you know what it's called as I really like this song but I can't use the link for the video :(
+Claire-Louise Sizer pls write to info@beforethewire.com
+Duncan McDowall Thank you
The email doesn't work
Holy cow!!! So freaking beautiful and to the point… That is where arts living!
Amazing……
Fantastic. Spent a good portion of my career lighting dance and have a great love of really good choreography and dancers. Interesting use of shots and composition as well. Thank you.
I am probably late in watching this, but it is absolutely beautiful!
Reminiscent of Lady Death
This is Art love how they film the bird too goes with the video
it should have been viewed much more , this choreography is so perfect
nice dance but i am the only that feel like the music doesnt fit with the clip? :0
I THINK THAT IT IS PERFECT ; THE MUSIC IS VERY EFFECTIVE, as a matter of fact, I WOULD like to KNOW the name of the COMPOSER!
Simon Marchetterre and Dom Bulmer, highly talented dudes: simsonicsound@hotmail.com
La caverne de Salah pienso que la música no va
Salah yeah I feel the same way
Salah tbh I think it's supposed to juxtapose
2:02 just when you think it's kind of random
Absolutly amazing! I wish I had a videoclip exactly like this for my band!
This gives me chills
This is incredible! 💗 Her movements are like the bird... it is stunning... the frequent flashes between human and bird reminds me of The Crow - almost supernatural and a little terrifying?! Great directing and dancing!
Maravilhoso! Sinto minha humanidade reconhecida nesta beleza dentro do abandono, nesta possibilidade do belo que existe mesmo nos momentos difíceis.Wonderful! I recognize my humanity inside this beauty that lives in desert,, in this possibility of beauty that exists even in difficult moments.
Truly wonderful amazing film. Love the expression emotion etc. just amazing
Excellent integration of space, visual texture and choreography! ❤
she is spectacular, i wan t to dance like her!!!!!!
beautiful technique!
So much energy, great work!
Superb video, love the darkness of it. And the filming reveals all the dancers intentions, beautiful job ! Makes me wanna dance there as well 😍
