This pumpkin is the perfect dichotomy to me. On the one hand it is playful and makes me happy, and on the other hand it's Batman, who is tough, serious and a badass. ...It's two-faced, if you will ;) That is why this is the only design I ever carve out of pumpkins, of the three times I have carved pumpkins in my life.
I feel like Batman and the other superhero stories are untapped potential in dance. I think I am both kidding and serious about that statement. If it's well-executed and done in the right environment for the right crowd, it would be amazing. Otherwise I am sure it would be difficult to watch. Not taking this in the fully literal sense, I could see this being the inspiration for a piece that represented the dichotomy I mention earlier--something that is both playful and serious, with lighting to help set the environment and mood.
"Batman has no limits."
I would absolutely love to see a Batman dance! You could utilize bright flashes of lights that would represent the exclamations in the comics like "BAM" or "POP"!!
ReplyDeleteThis blog would be a great way to kick off a conversation with your LD, it is declarative while still having questions, thus room for input. And, I am with Alex, I wuld love to see it onstage :)
