My friend Kasey, a diehard fan of So You Think You Can Dance, visited last week, and we spent one Saturday evening watching clips from the show on our big projector wall. I must give kudos: some of the dancers are really phenomenal, and some of the choreography reaches that level where the kinetic and kinesthetic impact is so powerful, you feel like the movement is happening to YOU.
For example: (I recommend watching the video directly from youtube in order to see the full screen)
I once saw a dance performance by a choreographer named Robin Stiehm that was about abusive relationships. The piece built up slowly, until a moment about 2/3 of the way through where the male performer lands a solid blow into the stomach of the female performer, who falls and slumps.
It wasn't overdone. It hurt for days.
