7. Kinetic Molpai (1935) by Ted Shawn.mkv

[@erichathaway8104]

My great aunt Mary Campbell moved to Jacobs Pillow with Ted Shawn and played piano accompaniment for him and Ruth St Denis when there was nothing there but an old barn

[@kevincoxhead7137]

An amazing company. They lived and worked and rehearsed totally naked. They grew their own food on the farm, worked in their little vegetable gardens, did class and rehearsed their work all completely naked. There are some amazing photos of this, including photos of them rehearing this ballet, all nude. Quite an incredible lifestyle. Natural and free.

Cool!

What part?

[@davidnelson2472]

I'm shocked any of these dancers had progeny, because of Ted's reputation I sort of figured all of these fellows were gay. Live and learn!

Shawn was a visionary. His troupe was to die for.

Jacob's Pillow meets West Side Story.

[@cattycorner8]

lol Right? Though I have a feeling Jerome Robbins had this piece in mind when he did WSS

[@janicetournade1170]

c'est remarquable ! cette critique de la société c'est... 😵

[@Fonseca429]

Not bad. What was the inspiration for this?

[@cescorosa61]

Sembra la biomeccanica di Mejerchold

[@alinagarcia6320]

[@cattycorner8]

I don't even know if he danced in this piece, but I assume he is the protagonist at the center.

Tupac Amaru meets dance.
