Incredible. I wish I could see it. Alicia Alonso is absolutely amazing.
This is out of left field, but one of the reasons I enjoyed watching this video was because the dancers looked healthy. When I see dancers whose every tendon stands out, whose ribs I can easily count above their bodices, I can't enjoy the performance. Dancers should be slim, but not starving.
I'm a woman, a Witch, a mother, a grandmother, an eco-feminist, a gardener, a reader, a writer, and a priestess of the Great Mother Earth. Hecate appears in the
Homeric Ode to Demeter, which tells of Hades who caught Persophone
"up reluctant on his golden car and bare her away lamenting. . . . But no one, either of the deathless gods or of mortal men, heard her voice, nor yet the olive-trees bearing rich fruit: only tenderhearted Hecate, bright-coiffed, the daughter of Persaeus, heard the girl from her cave . . . ."
