Art is Life Augusta

MOMIX dancers from Botanica conversed with us last night about the work of Isadora Duncan, a woman who threw out her tutu and toe shoes, danced in gardens and began Modern Dance a century ago.  Botanica’s modern interpretation of nature brought Ms. Duncan to mind, whose work and life was one of intense passion and expression.  We loved the complete visual composition of Botanica; it is stunning.  The dancers, classically trained, explained how challenging it is to work with the many props - while making a seamless and beautiful presentation.  Although they moved harmoniously, there were several moments of improvisation, allowing the audience to sense the individuality of each dancer; the diversity and beauty of nature was felt in their moves.  The dancers also noted a touching moment last night: a woman with tears positively remarked “I have never seen anything like this”.  The dancers enjoyed her gratitude and that of our ecstatic audience (including students at Davidson Fine Arts Magnet School they instructed via Master Classes).  We are thankful for the warm Southern hospitality of our audience; one dancer said “this is what we live for.”  We encourage you to come tonight for their LAST show in dedication to Augusta, the Garden City.  We think Botanica somehow channels Ms. Duncan’s avante garde style dedicated to nature.
