To respond to all subscribers email [log in to unmask] *** We invite you to visit this blog on Le Monde on the work of Kathy Rose: http://bodycinema.blog.lemonde.fr/2012/11/22/she-kathy-rose/ This article (in French) and images draw relationships between the work of Kathy Rose with Japanese theater, including Butoh and Bunraku, with specific reference to Rose's dance video "She": "The images of religious mantis and insects of every kind establishes an astonishing parallel between the miniature females and the swarming universe which they reflect. A strange beauty arises from this gathering, underscored by the play of colors bringing together the disparate elements. Multiple stroboscopic effects induce a hallucinatory effect on viewers, facilitating their indoctrination into this unique universe. Kathy Rose is an artist who produces an immediately recognizable video dance genre, from film to film developing a world which is totally her own. …unique in her genre; worthy of a real artist." This imaginative blog also makes reference to the Takeshi Kitano film "Dolls", as well as psychedelic art . The blog is from* bodycinema* /Festival International de Video Danse de Bourgogne.
