Karina Gonzalez and Charles-louis Yoshiyama of Houston Ballet in Maninyas, Fall For Dance Festival 2
Karina Gonzalez and Charles-louis Yoshiyama of Houston Ballet in Maninyas, Fall For Dance Festival 2015, October 2015. © Amitava Sarkar.Maninyas is, according to Welch, about the “unveiling” of oneself within relationships, the gradual reveal. Sex is evident, from the derriere-twitching to deep, earthy, Graham-esque squats. While there are brief moments of playfulness, Maninyas’ relationships, particularly in two pas de deuxs, appear coercive rather than of a mutual unfolding of any kind – the women grappled by their men, repeatedly locked into positions and struggling to writhe away. -- source link
