Bipolar Skin

Winner Audience Prize Cross Connection Choreographic International Competition 2012, (Copenhagen).
Created: February 2012.
Premiere: 6th April 2012.
Choreography: Jorge Garcia Perez.
Dancers: Alba Carbonel Castillo, Jorge Garcia Perez.
Bipolar Skin is about what it is to be a human being, about the difference of expressing when you are alone and when you are with others, the double personality that we have and which makes us change from an state of mind to another very quick.
Even having our natural skin colour sometimes we mix it with the colour of others trying to express that everything is normal but at the end we all have and conserve our unique essence.

I usually get so bored watching dances that have music that doesn't have words, but with this one... WOW. I was held in the whole time. I saw 8 minutes and then the non lyrical music and thought I was going to end up clicking out of the video, but the choreography, the dancers, the lighting... it just all came together so, so well and I almost cried so many times. Every single person that had a part in making this dance are INCREDIBLY talented. Just wow. Thank you so much for this.

[@Acoustic-Rabbit-Hole]

The originality of their moves, but also their ability to pull it off so smoothly. I'm at a loss for words. Was not expecting this. I'd love to have Perez & Castillo on my channel! - The Acoustic Rabbit Hole

[@aj-dm5kt]

Being bipolar and finding this dance is amazing. The disorder is so accurately portrayed.

[@jorgegarciaperez2604]

aj6102 Thanks You!! I am glad you write that! :-)

[@Savuka.scollo]

I've watched this so many times and I still think it is one of the most beautiful pieces I have ever seen.

[@jorgegarciaperez2604]

Thank you!!! I am happy you like it! :-*

[@leoness6617]

A very moving piece... This is what we call art!

[@jdot3345]

If I didn’t read the title of the video I wouldn’t have understood the beginning or the end (could’ve have guessed, but probably would’ve been wrong) but the middle (& the end since I knew what it was about) was STUNNING!!! I truly do not think that I have ever watched a routine as beautifully raw, tragic & amazing as this piece!! Such outstanding talent. You made me fall in love with dance again. Thank you!!! ❤

[@glenbartholomew1058]

The transitions are what makes works of art great. The transitions in this piece told truths that words can not express. Wonderful

[@palina444]

Mel D thank You !!

[@melhachi20]

hi Jorge ur most welcome. Actually im a dancer too and want to know how can i improve my body to be lifted like that. how can i get that kind of control. Any advice?

[@mkamelg]

Refine your abdominal muscles. Abdominal muscles are the key to success. If you have well trained abdominal muscles you can do miracles. Work on your flexibility. Keep your weight on the same level as your dance partner or better on lower level. If you are too heavy you cause too much strain on the spine partner which is definitely bad for him in the long term. Generally think of yourself if you were sportsman not only dancer.

[@googleyoutube2914]

Konuşmadan Anlaşabilmek bi sanat eseridir.insanlik ilk halini bilmediği için ;) bu tarz seyler garip gelir 👏

[@eni3246]

I'm bipolar and I wrote a song about it and danced to it for a dance competition I got first!!

[@janmortimer1758]

Congratulations!Yes,l could identify with this brilliant piece of art which was danced superbly.

[@heidibaltom8138]

So beautiful. Its almost as if both sides are fighting to get out and when one is being felt the other is always in the background waiting. I dont have bipolar so i have no idea if thats by any means accurate its just what i saw.

[@janmortimer1758]

You expressed the feelings beautifully 😊♥️

[@mathieulavoie5876]

wow

[@alyssamilanovic4017]

This is beautiful i was just wandering what the first song was called

[@jorgegarciaperez2604]

Alyssa Milanovic first song is composed for this piece by the composer Teresa Carrasco

[@roseyirene753]

This bitter earth slow version

[@jorgegarciaperez2604]

Thanks everyone for your comments and feedback... ❤️

[@sarahivillegasvelazquez9271]

Jorge Garcia hi, I'm in one project in my University and this choreography is one of my options to choose and do the "motion analysis" with the LOD (Language Of Dance)... Can I contact you to talk in depth about it? Have a Nice day!

[@degallard]

😮❤

[@we.Oz9637]

deep

[@nataliabernat5392]

Oh so extraordinary... Someone knows the music?

[@laurenceschon3628]

I'm really late, but in case you're still wondering it's from Max Richter - On the Nature of Daylight

[@georgialewis9781]

Quick wuestion. Is there meant to be no sound or is that my headphones...?

[@jorgegarciaperez2604]

Georgia Lewis I think that might be your headphones... it should have sound .. :-)

[@ileahmccarthy1174]

what does the male and female each represent?

[@jorgegarciaperez2604]

They represent the behaviour of two people when they are alone or when they meet and interact. The bipolarity people have when being alone and how the behaviour adapts when in contact with others changing the personality and body language. Sometimes to make the others like us, love us..

[@shalomxi1157]

This is named "bipolarity" but it means "duality". This is not the bipolar disorder.

[@janabousleiman6948]

what's the music?

[@clairebuttholes5395]

What style of dance is this?

[@oceanwaves6423]

Claire Buttles contemporary

[@ritishroypatroo7075]

I must saty i have some difficulty understanding the skit. Can someone help

[@oceanwaves6423]

RitishRoy Patroo I think whenever bipolar people are together, they have a special connection, but when they're apart, they go a little crazy. If I am wrong, anyone is welcome to correct me.

[@shannonlacey8946]

What's the song called

[@jorgegarciaperez2604]

On the Nature of a daylight by Max Richter

[@cristianaugustin7125]

Caca-maca.

[@yoseevideos]

Jorge, me gustaría contactarte, ¿me puedes proporcionar tu correo por favor? Jorge, I will like to contact you regarding a porject, would you please give me your e-mail?

[@jorgegarciaperez2604]

yoseevideos claro... [e-mail]

[@paudiazt]

I do love music and dancer's technique, and choreography, but not the mix, not with this Richter's piece

[@AlisaMartinson]

There's no emotion though, great cheoragrophy!

[@janabousleiman6948]

wow
