Baryshnikov is HOT in this. I have this DVD and it's one of my favorite dances that he does. By the time he's walking away, throws his gum away, catches his coat, put's it on and makes it look like "oh yes, I have to catch her", is just sexy! The man, song, and `the dance just turns me on. To work with just one of many greats like Twyla Tharp, is the reason he defected from Russia all those years ago. The arts are what freedom is all about. You can't have freedom without the arts and the artists who create.

If we saw Mikhail Baryshnikov dressed in a suit and chewing gum, we wouldn’t expect to be watching from the seats of a theater. But as he moves across the stage with his arms swaying in a confident swagger, he captures our attention as a different sort of character. As in many classical ballets, he and his partner, former American Ballet Theatre soloist Elaine Kudo, are telling a story. Except now, Baryshnikov is a foil to Princes Siegfried or Charmant-he almost cares less about his partner. But don’t be fooled! Despite his apathetic body language, he’s still the best partner around, never letting Kudo fall. Here, Baryshnikov is dancing Twyla Tharp’s Nine Sinatra Songs, which originally premiered in 1982. While it seems like ballet’s opposite, Tharp’s technique requires a strong core and articulation of the feet. This grounds the body to be able to move expansively through space and command changes of direction. From what we can see, Baryshnikov is a true artist who can can mold to any choreographer’s work.

The point of this was to make a snapshot of a certain lifestyle. I am a feminist and I don't object to portrayals of abuse because it is a portrayal of what many woman have lived. This piece is honest and as a former professional ballerina who has performed Twyla's work and taken classes from Elaine Kudo I can tell you it is beyond difficult. This was meant to evoke the emotions it does.

My interpretation is a fight between a couple. She´s angry for something, accusing him and he´s acting defensively. Then, they reconcile and that´s the part starting at the very end, cutted on this video. Also, it´s set in the fifties or sixties. I love this piece ;)

I thought that, although it seemed that the dance was designed to showcase abusive behaviour, it seemed to be saying that abusive behaviour is 'just life', just an expected part of a romantic relationship. I found it disturbing. By putting the dance into a ballroom-type setting with fancy clothing and jazz playing, it seemed to be romanticising domestic abuse! It is still very impressive dancing, but it mainly made me feel concerned. I couldn't watch the whole thing!

Twyla, why such quick staccato movements? Frank Sinatra is so smooth and sultry, soft and kind; I just didn’t feel the connection in your choreography. But now as I write this, art is the interpretation of the choreographer (obviously I’m not original in saying this). I guess I envision something different and truly I should have been a choreographer.
