This was stunning!!

Nederlands Dans Theater (NDT) on Facebook:

Anil van der Zee is a former professional (ballet) dancer, who suffers from Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). ME is a debilitating neuroimmune disease affecting 17 million children and adults worldwide. NDT supports Anil’s mission to raise awareness for ME through performance art.

NDT 2 dancer Tess Voelker created this wonderful video on the music from the ME film ‘Unrest’, together with dancers Boston Gallacher, Rachel McNamee and Aya Misaki.

Indeed .. many thanks to NDT and Anil (@Grigor if memory serves?), and brought back some happy memories. I was fortunate enough to see an NDT2 live performance in April 2016 in Bradford, UK - was one awesome evening of dance, and link to some trailers of the performance can be found here for anyone interested.

No idea how I made it there and back, and took over a week to recover, but so worth the effort; my alternative 'therapy' of choice for sure, so much better than CBT/GET. I don't think I stopped smiling throughout the time it took me to get back to a baseline, and despite the 'world of pain' I was in? :laugh:

By hook or by crook (and as a birthday treat to myself), I'll be headed on over to Leeds in June to see Richard Chappell Dance | At the end we begin. Absolutely no idea how I'll make it there and back, given I can hardly look after myself of late, but will cross that bridge nearer the day. Been way too long since I last saw some live contemporary dance.

So if there is anyone here on the forum, who enjoys dance, and is able to get to Leeds on the night, do feel free to PM me, would be great to meet up.

Wishing everyone improved health and every happiness. John :)
 
Another video, this one is by "Introdans", dedicated to Anil / @Grigor

Google Translated:
During International Awareness Day, we focus on those who become ill because of their condition and with minimal physical or mental effort.

For our dancers a subject that comes very close. What do you do if your body, which you depend on to carry out your work and passion, no longer wants? What choices do you make during the day? With this in mind, they made this video.

Former Introdans dancer Anil van der Zee told us about the impact of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). He himself struggled daily with what he can and can not do since he was struck by this, for many still unknown, illness. A big contrast with the active dancer from before. We will upload this video to him. Read more about ME via his blog http://anilvanderzee.com/timeforunrest/
