It was a very interesting Skype conversation, last
Sunday. I really like to hear about how someone has become a professional
dancer, teacher and choreographer. I was also thinking about how the private
life, environment and political situation can influence the professional career
and makes every journey unique.
It is similar to creating choreography with a certain
music, everyone will create differently because of their different
circumstances, abilities, influences etc.
I am just wondering about the private aspect.
The personal
aspects of life such as getting married and having children is closer to the
natural way of life and humanity as opposed to our focus on career and being
perfect. Everyone is looking for love and
wants to be loved which is the reason for living, for human beings.
How can the Human aspect reflect in the dance
performance?
One of the greatest Hungarian photographer’s Éva Keleti
said that:
“The dance has three
aspects: music, choreography and the dancer.”
She always looked for the movement with her camera,
when the human effect is shining through the choreography and the music fills
them with emotion and expertise.
The dancer cannot hide the personal situations of life
because we are firstly human. The emotions can appear in the dance performance
consciously or unconsciously. This can give the deepest content to the dance
performance.
The dancer’s personality is included in every step and
movements, their power and emotion combines with the music and choreography.
This is the atmosphere that the audience can feel during the performance, but
each performance is different because everything is changing and we are not the
same as we were 5-10 years ago. I think this is the most interesting thing about
how the personality can expand and is developing within the dance career.
