Les sauvages_Dance

My first choreography to Rameau's Indes Galantes Les Sauvages in Minkovski's interpretation. The clear baroque dance wasn't my aim. The dancers are ballet students and the beginners in baroque dance. Video is from the stage rehearsal.

To make my idea of the dance clear (reading many commentaries which I am glad about) - I took the music from the opera because it is so nice and I have loved to it immedeately. And the first thing I wanted to do was to express the feelings from music into the choreography. I didn't take account of the plot of the opera inspite of I know it. Moreover the audience doesn't know it and I wouldn't have the possibility to explain the content of the opera. So lets call it only short 3 min. illustration of baroque dance, moreover with beginning students of baroque dance which didn't have to much time to prepare it and for me first experience with choreography and I think we have done it well. :)
