The thing that I love about Bodyvox is that they are willing to dance in unexpected places. Their work has a sense of whimsy and at the same time of longing that I find very appealing. Here are two offerings.
Deere John
I have a friend who’s worked with them and he says that they didn’t realize that when they got the John Deere that they would need a certified operator. The union guy comes out and is all, like, “You want me to do what?” By the end, he had changed to, “Give me one more take, I can do it better.”
Islands in the Sky
These were both so delightful… Funny and poignant and beautiful…and local! Thanks, a lovely thing to watch before going to bed. I’ll let you know if I dream of graceful earthmovers.
I had the privilege of watching the Deere John film at their performance in NY. The rest of the show was live dance, and then they had a couple of films as interstitials. I loved it.
