Everyone seemed to like it. The appreciation of the work was amply expressed during the Q&A, including high praise from the Museum’s founder who made a comparison to “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.”

Dance film is neither dance nor film but something new altogether. Both films seemed to explore the more selfless emotions in ways that I had not seen dealt with before. Others in my party felt moved to tears by the intensity of the work and its personal and intimate allegories. The dance film for me seemed to follow certain Buddhist principles and was deliberately meditative in its exposition. This may have confused the blogger who seemed to not have the eyes to see.
