FALL DANCE

SUNDAY, CENTRAL PARK
NOVEMBER 3, 13
Not only fallen leaves worth to be watched in Harlem Central Park .
Imagine a golden backdrop and a lake nearby. At
a glance, on this November Sunday while coolness is being settled, such a
landscape seems to welcome or worship human beings and that time, a woman still
in her early twenties. Ms Isabella
Sorensen could not choose a better place to her rehearsal or special spare
time. As her friend Tania Palomeque put
it, photography tries to freeze good memories for the future or eternity.
There were some ducks sliding silently in the
waters. As silently as Isabella’s body
lifting up higher and higher. Her arms are stretching skyward. When she lowers
her body, it’s for pushing forward her chest and breast in a horizontal way. What a
flexibility! What an easiness ! only, people said, felines get so much
suppleness. Ms Sorensen seems to inherit something from wilderness life without
saying noting about her slender body. Dressed
only with a off white bath suit, Isabella’s dance is framing some part of
space.
I’ve been watching her desire to fly and her
arm lifting figure like people do somewhere when worshiping their gods. Dancing
is the way the body meditates, Maya Deren, the Russian –born filmmaker, said in her beautiful book: the Divine
Horsemen. Dancing has some silent voice
on its own. It’s what I was staring at as Ms Sorensen, a Danish woman, was
dancing her youth in the Central Park at
Harlem, at 110th Ave. A passerby
has been shooting a picture at her.
Born in 1992 at Skive, Denmark, Ms Sorensen
told us she has been dancing at 3 in the Danish ballroom. Later on, she became
a professional dancer as she was turning fifteen. Now, she is a student at
Ailey School in NY. She loves travelling and living in other cultures with other peoples. That’s
the best way to live up her dreams and dancing.
Ms Sorensen’s close friend, the already famous and
Spanish-born photograph, Tania Palomeque Guirao, had been taking shots of her.
