Description of From a Classical Position / Just Dancing Around - William Forsyth
FROM A CLASSICAL POSITIONWilliam Forsythe, acknowledged as one of the greatest choreographic talents of our time, and his long-time collaborator Dana Caspersen, also of the Frankfurt Ballet, perform a duet conceived especially for the camera. From a Classical Position constitutes a one-off experience of Forsythe and Caspersen?s work, giving dance lovers a unique vision of their art as choreographers, dancers and now film-makers. The piece is performed to an original score by Thomas Willems, a composition for a single piano, which like the dance, is at once naked in its simplicity and at times spell-binding in its complex intensity. To this sometimes-music and sometimes-silence, Caspersen and Forsythe dance a duet of sublime passion and sophistication, a love story without sentimentality.
Choreographed, Directed and Danced by DANA CASPERSEN and WILLIAM FORSYTHE
JUST DANCING AROUND?
To produce this intimate portrait, Mike Figgis (Director of the Oscar-winning Leaving Las Vegas) spent six weeks with William Forsythe at the Frankfurt Ballet, where he has been Artistic Director since 1984. A rare choreographic talent whose work is both intellectually and physically challenging, Forsythe makes a clear and articulate case for his method of deconstructing classical ballet. Figgis takes the role of fascinated outsider, pursuing his volatile subject with a dogged enthusiasm. The documentary focuses on the build-up to the first performance of Forsythe?s The Loss of Small Detail, and the soundtrack features the avant-garde music of Thomas Willems and Handel?s Concerti Grossi.
