The Place

The Place: For bringing Erna Ómarsdóttir to London to perform the excellent IBM401 with live music by Johan Johannsson. To date this is still the most popular video on Article19 even after 20 months on the site. The show is on Friday 17th and Saturday 18th June.
Mark Baldwin: AD of Rambert for this witless comment in The Times;
“If you’re standing on a platform and I’m on the train traveling through the platform holding an orange you see me as moving and you see the orange as moving, whereas I’m on the train and the orange to me is still.”
And how do you translate that into dance? “That means you can have things on stage happening at different speeds and lit in different ways. But hey, you know, I’m just grabbing stuff to make a beautiful dance.”
Yeas dear but even if the orange looks like it is still it is in fact moving, as are you! And the notion that you can have different things happening on stage at different speeds is hardly new either!
mon dieu vous petit garcon idiot.
Article19: Yes we know "oh the irony". For missing the film version on Channel4 of Just for Show from DV8, it's not like we didn't know it was on or anything. We hang our heads in shame!
Stumble It!
