Full Rehearsal

This started as on of the typical full gymnast / ballerina poses to try and box the photo. I then realized I needed another dancer to do that. That worked but it was boring. Then as I was going through the color coordination of the outfits, I was, like, “what if I took the floor away? No one has gotten that shot before.” So I did, and did. Then I was reminded of the scene from ‘Scott Pilgrim Verses the World’ where Wallace is telling Scott that if he really wants the girl, he has to give into the ‘L-word’, to which Scott answers “Lesbian?” and Wallace says “It’s ‘Love’, I wasn’t trying to trick you.” So, I may have incorporated that into the scene. Lastly, I worked on the camera focus, aperture blades and whatnot. So, that’s the process, kind of ho-hum. The result is two interpretative dancers practicing for the stage in the future.

Virtual Dancer

Totally inspired by the playlist I’m listening to (Middle Eastern dance music), singers like Elissa. I also noticed she (the dancer in the painting ) looks like one of my friends – there is no subtext – okay, maybe there is, she looks like someone I’ve crushed on for forever, but ‘twill never be. Then again, maybe it’s the Bumbu creating false honesty. Anywho, here she is, an artist of the dance.
