RE: Contest Entry for ART EXPLOSION WEEK 24: Theme LIGHT by @juliakponsford
Again! I love our work. Its simultaneously sweet, funny and dark. The contrast between the dark and light places on the drawing is perfectly measured. And the cat reminds me of a dance improvisation I did some time ago (I worked long years as a dancer)... The goal was to learn to move in absolute slow-motion while doing very strenuous movements which involved supporting one’s weight on hands etc. And to have a tranquil, slow, and silent appearance we all should envision our eyes as big flashlights which cut through the darkness.
Thank you so much for this drawing!!!!
Wow, this is absolutely amazing! I would love to see your dance! My imagination is trying to picture you dancing, your description brings yoga somehow to my mind but perhaps it's not a very accurate association :) I'm very happy that you like my drawing, makes me wanna draw more :) Love, Klaudia
You asked for it :-DDD
here are some of my short animation films (I made the choreography). I am the one with the dress and the braided tails

This is some serious awesomeness, @neumannsalva! I always perceive dancers like yourself as those artistic cool people who have amazing lifestyles, because of how magical the world/act of dance seems to me. I don't know, like your life is more vibrant and bohemian... I think that the concept behind those dances and the performance is really great, I'm impressed! Not only you dance beautifully, but you also paint and draw! I like to dance myself, but avoid any way of capturing it on film or photo hah (and that's a good thing ;P)
Thank so much :-D And yes I liked my time as a dancer/choreographer very much. It was so exciting to perform (and I have to admit, also party afterwards) and to live so close with you fellow esemble members. I loved to get feeback from an audiance. I still miss them and the time so much. But naturally there are also downsides I would have not imagined when I was younger...no insurances, less money and a overtaxed body which finished my carreer. I still love to dance, but its no longer only joy, because afterwards everything hurts for days - thats the reason I started to paint, to have a possibility to be creative without hurting myself.
And I would love to see you move - there is no bad movement :-D
Hehe wait till you see me ;) The physical strain in professional dance is I think often a not very well known or realized aspect by the audience, but I may be mistaken. thank you for your insight ;)
