DVD Reviews of Grupo Corpo - Brazilian Dance Theatre
DVD Review: Original music/choreography: Recommended
Summary: 4 Stars
For you to calibrate my likes (since likes and dislikes are subjective) I am a lover of classical ballet and I can't stand modern ballet especially if the music is not melodic. For example, I rate as very high "La Bayadere" by POB and "Le Corsaire" by ABT featuring Angel Corella and "Coppelia" by Australian Ballet Theater.
Rest assured that this DVD although is not classical in the strict sense, is so in the sense that the dance movements are flowing, music is melodious (albeit rhythmic sometimes) and movement and music synchronize very well (if not it shouldn't be called dance but gymnastics right?). All in all the DVD is very enjoyable (I watch it once a month without getting bored). There is always tightness in the dance, music , and choreography which shows the attention paid to all aspects of the dance. All elements are original-there is consistency of style which shows that it is not a random production (many modern ballets strike me as such). There is also incredible energy, delight, and joy in the dance. It is a very positive uplifting type of choreography, not the "world is coming to an end" type modern ballet choreography.
The technical production of the DVD is quite reasonable although not top notch. You do need a reasonably high contrast TV/projection system to fully enjoy the DVD since the stage light is not very bright and the dancers wear dark costumes but there is no granularity and movements are not smeared.
