7 PORTRAITS OF SOLITUDE - a specially curated online collection of short dance film works.
Together, 7 dancers - 7 composers - unite to create 7 worlds and offer you a message of hope,
remembering that we are all connected, even when we feel so alone. In these uncertain times
we find ourselves in our art, in our humanity, with our emotional life becoming more defined
and more realised - as the new truths that we learn become our future history. All of the
incredible people involved in this project have generously given their time and talent for free,
and we all hope that you will enjoy these portraits as much as we did making them.
Watch @semperoperballett dancer Jon Vallejo perform Portrait #2 to music composed by
Peter Gregson, cinematography and editing by Thomas Bieszka, and costumes by YUMIKO
Dancewear - all specially donated to the 7 PORTRAITS OF SOLITUDE project.
Importantly these films aim to create awareness to help support our fellow artists during these
challenging times. Our stage industries risk losing a generation of talent if they are not offered
the support they need. Please check out the links below and make your donation, give as
much as you can, and share this message with your friends and family - let’s help to make the
difference.

FAUN(E) coming soon at Dresden @semperoperballett! 🦌

J'accours; quand, à mes pieds, s'entrejoignent (meurtries
De la langueur goûtée à ce mal d'être deux)
Des dormeuses parmi leurs seuls bras hasardeux;
Je les ravis, sans les désenlacer, et vole
À ce massif, haï par l'ombrage frivole,
De roses tarissant tout parfum au soleil,
Où notre ébat au jour consumé soit pareil.

L'Après-midi d'un faune - Stéphane Mallarmé

We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery, we need humanity; more than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.
