#GiaKourlas , you are amazing. While many "dance expertises" in Brazil are shouting (hysterically) that a #HollywoodMovie like #Joker can not be related to a "pure dance" like #Butoh (when i posted it one week ago https://www.instagram.com/p/B13t4hHFmBi/?igshid=i568y1mzkkpc) , you, in your article on #NewYorkTimes restated it with deep arguments. Not only the #ClownPrinceOfCrime 's origin _ portrayed by #JoaquinPhoenix and directed by #ToddPhillips _ is a masterpiece beyond hollywood standards, it also shows how much #BodyExpression can interfere in an #ActorPerformance. It's not much known for regular audience, but actors like #GeoffreyRush (who studied with the #physicaltheater master #JacquesLecoq), #AmyAddams and #CharlizeTheron(both #dancers before working in Hollywood) had a very intense embodied background to lift over their expressivity.And even actors like the late #SteveMcQueen and the "late #ironman",#RobertDowneyJr, studied #ChineseMartialArts(#WingChun ) which is relatable to dance in many ways in terms of #PostModernDance . Just to endup this discussion with more links to this wonderful movie, #JerryLewis , in his biografic documentary #MethodToTheMadnessOfJerryLewis , described himself as "NOT BEING A DANCER AT ALL"(at least compared to #FredAstaire and #GeneKelly, who also influenced "Joker") but let his body in a "loose dance" during his comical improvised scenes.His "disconnected" body expression was one of Jerry Lewis great achievements as a...#Clown. So, having said that, i would suggest to all actors (hollywood, broadway or even the ones who do stand up comedy performances) to go deep on that techniques and approaches. Not only will it undistress your body.It also will make you a more skilled actor. . . P.s.:The article i got from #NYTimes;the video i got from the youtube channel #looper.

#Repost @andrea_mohin ・・・ @annicue of @evidencedance performing in the premiere of "She is Here" a solo by Ronald K. Brown at @thejoycetheater Tuesday night. #giakourlas writes, "Annique Roberts, a glorious dancer who moves with such liquid abandon that her body seems to be directed not by positions but by air. This solo has a slipperiness about it, yet it’s not timid. Like Ms. Roberts, it has grit." #nytassignment
