"Amelia"(2003) is a work of a choreographer Edouard Lock in collaboration with The Canadian dance crew 'Lalala Human Steps'. Music by David Lang, words by Lou Reed.
Amazing control over the bodies and imaginative relationship between 'my man' and the female dancer create truly unusual impression. The spatial tension between the bodies of partners and their 'flying around' in the computer-generated space of an almost cubical shape certainly give the viewer the sense of the exclusion. But the female dancer, as it seems, excludes herself from her partner, even though she is being fully controlled by him. Amazing new generation of classical ballet.

Different inhabitation of a space, with the illusion of the absence of the gravity. Having the dancers 'flying aroung' the room, which was build especially for the performance, the viewer experiences the unusual choreography, which happen vertically, rather than horizontally. And besides, i just love the song.
A Clockwork Orange - Ultraviolence first Scene
Strange enough, cant post the clip itself in here. Anyway, this particular moment of the Legendary Cubric's movie was the first thing that came into my mind when i have found out about the theme for the research. The Strangeness of a dead-end tunnel has always fascinated me. From the very first second ou understand what it is going to end with, when the four shadows of famous droogs fall on the figure of the old men and occupy the whole floor of the the space.I must say the shadows play the key role in the moment of the film for me. The siluetes in the 'ultraviolence' moment, the shadows in the beggining - everything makes you aware of the tightness and danger of the surrounding. Amazing.
And here we come: Andrey Tarkovsky. Excluded figure within the empty room. with the terrific camera work, the veiwer is being dragged out from the concentration of the hero, while the hero reaches out to us with the glasses. the absolute 'love' moment when the camera goes back and the tall glass follows it and falls over, bringing us into the the space of emotional, superstitious tension between the glass and the hero. Goozebumps!
The safe cannot be accessed. The safe is lost. The fear and the memory. I am speechless.
