Benjamin Millepied x Philip Glass
The Iconic Composer Sets the Score for the Star Choreographer's New Dance Film
Dancer Craig Black writhes his way through a period apartment in upstate New York’s Mount Kisco in Benjamin Millepied and violinist–turned-creative director Timothy Fain’s saturated short. Set to minimalist composer Phillip Glass’s rousing score “Partita for Solo Violin,” the film is part of Fain’s immersive multimedia film series, Portals. The experiential performance, in which Fain played live, was presented at New York’s Symphony Space at the end of September and met with rave reviews. “I’d always been fascinated by how ‘visual’ Phillip’s music was, and I knew I wanted to pair it with film in some way,” says Fain. “Not to mention it’s just some of the most passionate, dark, expressive music I know.” New York City Ballet principal Millepied, now the face of YSL’s L’Homme Libre perfume, was Fain’s first point of call for some direction and complimentary footwork after previously collaborating on the set of Black Swan. “Philip’s new solo violin works are very beautiful, haunting and heartbreaking at the same time,” says Millepied of the music inspiring his works. “Images came quickly to mind, stories and intimate moments reflecting life.”

stop smoking
This video is a perfect example of why I cant allow the "Weirdness" to take over and have a team of people behind me to make sure that shit don't happen. I mean........I get it. I get it BUT did this really need to happen outside of a drunken conversation (or high)?
The convo would go as follows.
"how cool would it be to make a ballet with naked chicks dancing on crutches with random dudes thrusting they're junk in the background pushing they're skateboard along?"
"oh man, that would be fucking sick!"
"yeah man. Id love to do some shit like that but I'd be whack as fuck if I really did it and people would not be feeling me"
"i think your right. That shit would be funny though"
"oooooohhhh child! We should stop smoking this shit!"
Funny none the less.
Big ups to my man jetting while screaming "Hoh". Powerful moment right there.
