La Loie Fuller Folies Bergere ...
Loie Fuller was filmed by Edison, working with light projection and early film.
I danced the historical choreography - with 50 yards of fabric. It took tremendous strength to project the fabric into space at the right time with the right movements, hitting the music and light cues, without the translucent, silk fabric falling or failing.

Cellist plays with himself - 37 parts

Sometimes I hear music or see performing ingenuity and remember why I must've become a dancer - my body could play music, lines, chords and variations within one body.

For Fun
Ethan Winer plays 37 cello parts ... be on the lookout for their cat with a gold halo

the earth oscillates in G

Wolfram Huschke, playing cello four decades, says,

" You see, earth oscillates in G [takes bow and plays a G], which is proved.

If you consider we are living the whole of our lives within this sound... actually, it is a rather unclean G coming with harmonics [he bows a ‘G’ rich in harmonics]. Again - there are melodies within. This G [bows again, this time sounding like metal, evoking a rather dissonant wall of sound], ... listening to this vibration of earth rendered audible you’ll find tunes that are reminiscent of the prelude to Bach’s suite in G major [plays an excerpt].

Basically, these are tunes Bach learned from nature since he kind of resonated."

"Each of us learned to say the word cello before we learned to say our own names.

However, since meeting in Stuttgart, Germany in spring 2002, and later, performing together, we ended up forgetting the name of our instrument. Our ensemble's repertoire consists entirely of transcriptions, music not intended to be performed on the cello.

Our goal is to make the listener hear the saxophone playing in The Melody by Sokolov, to make a ragtime-battered piano sound in a silent movie, to let them hear Piazzola play the bandoneon again..."

Maybe it's the hair or smile, but occasionally musician Kirill Timofeev visually reminds me of Pawel Szajda the actor playing Pawel in Under A Tuscan Sun. The four lovely musicians: Kira Kraftzoff, Sergio Drabkine, Kirill Timofeev, Misha Degtjareff
