The Pleasure of Absence
It is the pleasure of imagining a performance - or rather, of imagining a universe. A narrative, an aesthetics, an experience, a unity.
It is the pleasure of imagining a liveness, a directness, a presence.
The pleasure of experiencing the echo, the recording, the extract, the fragment of a copy of a copy. The pleasure Plato was so afraid of.
It is the joy of watching something on a small pixellated video image and imagining it live and juicily 3D.
It is the ecstatic moderato of my computer screen, of yours, which acts out the world that supposedly tastes better off-screen (heck, it tastes). Yet it is not off-screen, not in the performance space, but here, at this very desk, dressed in dark-green boxers, brown socks and a t-shirt, among the hills of papers and books and accompanied by the delicate sound of the washing machine and an occasional sms, that I experience it. The pleasure of absence. The ecstatic moderato.

I don't know about you but I am looking at a blank page. LOL But I get that this is where imagination starts.
It's impressive how you explain a thought in a more complex one. It made me realize how imagining a performance should be, how much passion you should put onto; etc. Thanks for the post.
I am glad New Art is still around Vvoi !
Probably the worst "dance" I have ever seen. Echoes of a dead and buried modernity that romanced its self to(what should be) nothingness many many years ago.
There's a new modernity which you aren't recognizing -- The dance itself has little to do with that - - The digital window pane has, in my opinion, romanced itself into existence and evolution. The dancers give us critical mass, a symbol for the way we now interact.
buen blogg, es interesante la manera con la que ves las nuevas tendencias.
congratulations
As they said,Action speaks louder than words.Emotions together with act explains a lot of things.This could be more feel by the audience.
Well said performance!The expression of each actor and actress brings more explanation of what the scene is really all about.The lesson or message they want the audience to get is given accordingly.
Great!Although the post is loading slowly I appreciate your talent.And it is good because each have focus on what they are doing and responsible for their action.
Post is nicely written and is an impressive one. Its about passion that the art is expaning to reality on the basis of creativity.
The emotion within actions simplify yet shares more of the meaning.It's not enough to say the words but letting the audience feel it, gives more passion.
When you perform in a live stage, it is all about your emotions and skills. Every move or swing that you do, there is a corresponding word upon it. For me, being a stage performer is a good art.
I'm happy New Art is still around Yahooo!
Great talent show. Its really breathtaking. Very nice to use for my coming festival of college.
Wow what a show. I really had fun watching this and I just got into memories when I was doing my graduation and I used to love to do stuff which is something different.
