thinking of home

Couldn’t leave him out of it… Dell Conagher, everyone.

making this post as a reference for dances/gestures/performances/[...] i find relate to Herb Brides' dances In My Mind, as i do not think the soft swaying they do in canon really warrants clothes torn from their chests (but i also know how hard animating characters is, period, so i won't comment on that further.) takes this more as a long Herb Brides Dances Headcanon post (and also as a collection of poses reference...)

Pina Bausch's works, especially her choreography for Rites of Spring (done on a stage covered in dirt).

the dancers have very loose light clothing, so mind the toplessness.

🌾

Damien Jalet's works, especially his works for Les Médusés performance in the Louvre, particularly his "L'Évocation" and "Les Médusées" pieces.

L'Évocation:

it picks up from 2:20 and stays consistently powerful and strong until the end. this is the performance that's the most Herb Brides to me. everything, from the frantic dancing, throwing self on the ground multiple times, the slapping of the chest, the throwing of the hair, the heavy breathing, fits them so, so well to me. this is what i think they do.

Les Médusées (nonsexual nudity in images and video from the costumes):

you might have noticed from the similarities with above, Damien Jalet was the one who choreographied the dances of Suspiria (2018). These dances also fit into the Herb Brides dances of my mind (but since it's a horror movie, I won't put videos as most of them contain spoilers).

last thing from Jalet (for now): his choreography Yama (1:20 and onward)

🌾

Ryan Heffington's choreographic work for the background dancers in Florence + The Machine's "King"

and "Heaven is Here"

🌾

Akram Khan's choreographic work for the background dancers in Florence + The Machine's "Big God"

and for "Giselle" (0:48 and onward)

🌾

Isidora Duncan's body of work and legacy, both as formal inspiration for the dance itself and for the beliefs she put into her art (spirituality, freedom of the body and of movement, sublimation or the body and its holiness through dance)

in that order: Isidora Duncan, Isidora Duncan draw by José Clara, one of her student's Maria-Theresa Duncan, and one of her students' student Madeleine Lytton.

🌾

more to add as i discover new things, new performances and choreographers :3

I don't know why, but I did it

I'll say right away that I haven't printed them myself yet and there may be errors
