Kayla and Kupono – Addiction by Mia Michaels
02Aug09
Kayla gives me goose bumps! Her body awareness through space is phenomenal. She has this commitment to each movement, purpose in each run and as a great contemporary dancer does… seals the connecting steps, seamless transitions that the choreography begs for. I’m in love with this piece. A true representation of a strong supporting man, a no bull female athlete and choreography that tells the story like you were there living it………….. bliss.
The elements:
- Stressing the expression of emotional intensity and contemporary subject
- Fall and Recovery (Doris Humphrey)
- Tumbling
- Chemistry
- Storyboard – Struggle, Breathe, Wide-Open, Addiction, Dependence, Vulnerability, Compulsion, Abuse
- Lyrical
- Light and Shade
- Dynamics in movement (bold and spirited)
- Athleticism
- Iron butterfly

their contrasting complexions also contributed greatly – her paleness & his darkness – the struggle between dark & light forces
I was very moved by this piece
@ Howard Hill: nice interpretation. The concept of struggle is identifiable to so many of us and why it touched me too! Non-dancers that I know to have watched this short duet were affected in the same way.
