Cool movement

The documentary Last Dance records the collaboration of Maurice Sendak and Pilobolus on a dance inspired by the holocaust. The improvisiation of the dancers was magical to behold. My favorite movement was one which seemed to tap into the heart chakra my yoga teacher talks so much about. The family dancer crouched on the pelvis of the male dancer with has back to the floor. She placed her hand over his heart and he arched upwards. My breath caught in my throat. I think it was that move which inspired Sendak's choice of a heart-covered unitard for the male dancer.
