I have been a long time fan of Édouard Lock's LaLaLa . And that came with an undying devotion to the talents of one
of his favourite troup dancers– Louise Lecavalier. So, last night you know I was going to be there for the
opening night of FND (Festival of New Dance), which featured the talent of that
woman who sprang into public attention
by being Dave Bowie's solo on stage dancer.
Louise Lecavalier has a distinct way of embodying
music. Every Frr-g inch of that
woman becomes the music. If it was
a video you could turn off the audio and if Louise was on the screen you could
imagine the sound. So, that means
from the spiky roots of her hair to the articulate toes of her feet Louise is
the music. It was a joy to behold
her.
But, things sot seriously interesting when a partner entered
the stage. Big ole' hunk of
muscle paired up with small woman.
But baby, could they move together! If I let my mind percolate metaphors, I'd come up with
"she's red pepper flakes and he's dark chocolate". You know where I'm going with
this…together they were an unforgettable savory mix.
You should have been there.
