Have a Look: Batsheva and Bob Dylan

March 25, 2016

There is a game that is played, in different variations, wherein two competitors are given a set of significantly dissimilar objects, people, or ideas, and must race to connect them to a center point, usually via Wikipedia. Clementines and the Empire State Building. An Achilles Tendon and Jennifer Aniston. The color Magenta and the River Nile. 

I think, in certain cases, you'd be allowed to modify the game and use your imagination in lieu of a computer. Let's try it now?

One:

There's not much to say about the first video clip except that it makes me BELIEVE. 

Enjoy this electricity: 

HOME ALONE is a performance evening created by the ensemble dancers of Bat Sheva - one of the top dance companies in the world. This video is a promotional video for this evening, but had a great success worldwide, and won Best Dance Film under 5min in San Francisco Dance Film Festival, "Best Dance Film" in SESIFF festival in Korea and a prize in Shortwaves Film Festival in Poznan, Poland. This video has been screened in over 40 festivals and venues worldwide and continues to tour the world to this day. For more info on Bat-Sheva Dance Company, check out their site: https://www.batsheva.co.il/en/ Director: Adi Halfin DOP: Roman Linetsky Editor: Shahar Amarilio Producers: Tamir Eting, Noam Eidelman, Adi Halfin Styling: Shani Sebban Makeup: Noa Yehonatan Art director: Netta Dror

 

Two:

The next thing for your eyeballs is a clip of Andy Warhol's 1965 Screen Test of Bob Dylan. Maybe what's really got my wheels, once I finish taking this all in, is the question of where exactly we go when we know we're being only-sort-of watched? It's a tricky thing to record someone in their natural state, but humans are adaptable, this is a fact. How long then before we forget that we are not alone?

And also, to bookend the week, see how much actually gets done in the pursuit of doing nothing!

 

...while we're on the topic of ANDY W. and his Screen Tests, we might as well (read: should definitely) watch this:

40 second moving picture. Page one of a conceptual editorial fashion story, inspired by the Andy Warhol screen tests of the 1960's. Direction, Lighting direction and design Layout by James Bareham. Stills Photography by Jeff Mikkleson Styling by Jersey Hair by Agata Helena Makeup by Kim Webber Model Emma Hansen / Elite

Start your engines and connect these dots why don't you? I think I will too.
