Some times I swear I have ADD or a split personality, I feel like my mind goes in a million and one directions and today's is Dancing! It might not help that I train in a million different fields of enjoyment, and dancing was one that I studded for some years and feel like I never got to show off what I was gifted to do. (So people tell me) Although, with much stress I was a Choreographer for a show....well some of the ones that didn't get CUT!
So now getting off my little soap box and to the few Dances I would like to complete and record for when I am old and gray.
1st one: Violet Hour
So as I sit here trying to do SOMETHING productive, I have been listening too one of my roommate's new CD by the Civil Wars (Barton Hollow). By the way -GREAT music! Four songs I feel are my own story, one, I think has probably the best lyrics I have ever read. But one song on the CD hit me! Song 8, Violet Hour. This song is 100% instrumental but is to die for! So, on the second run through the CD I start feeling my arms sway and my feet follow there after and I stopped only to think what lights would look great with this song and decide to post on here the costume I would 'like' to use for this one.
One idea is to keep with the idea of purple and wispy like the wind, well I would try for the color purple but if I had to I would change it to something in the cold color family.
I see a girl (could be a man if I feel the need to change it) waking from a dream or waking into the dream (~_^) from there it goes on....still in the working process but here are some ideas on the dresses.
Option 1: Double Platinum Dress With Attached Lamé Brief
Option 2: Catch The Wind (In White or Burg.)
Option 3: Poetry In Motion (Lav.)
and lastly Option 4: Slow Dancing (White, it may not be in the cold family but it looks nice and windy/wispy)
2nd Dance: Eco
I heard this song, Eco by the Gorillas on the radio in my car heading home from my folks place and I started to jam to it as I was driving and thought that the step I saw someone doing in my head would be a great step in a dance and that's when the light bulb in my dusty attic went on and thought it would be a great duet with my sister and I.
I would make this a Jazzy/Modern piece using black and white as the costumes scheme with the main dancer being tormented by his memories and thoughts and the Eco the only one with inner peace and the peace is the torment.
