Begin with Light, Connection and Beauty

Here is an extremely beautiful video.

It was created by Enra,  a Japanese motion graphics performance group which mixes physical performance and complex digital graphics  This perforemance piece was published in 2013.

Nobuyuki Hanabusa founded Enra in 2012.  He "wanted to challenge different ways of expression and to create more complex works with a different outlook on the world."(Enra website)   Enra has a wide variety of members including those who specialize in Kung-fu, acrobatics, ballet, juggling, rhythmic gymnastics, and animation dance.  Hanabusa wanted to use the diversity of the group along with animation to create something new.

This piece is called Pleiades named after the constellation of seven stars.  As the two dancers move, they are accompanied by bursts of light like stars.  The light seems to be one of the dancers as it interacts and reflects their movements.

I thought that this was a good way to start the new year, with beauty, light and connection.  I hope it inspires you to dream outside of the box, to feel your connection to everything and to look for the beauty that is all around you.
