pina

Talk about colour!
Sorry Ive started in the middle again...lets rewind a little....
Hi everyone! 
Hope you're enjoying a Monday that is a prelude to a great week! If you came a' knocking on the tinytrappings door last week {thank you if you did!}, you would have noticed that every post through the week was about light + dark. Light, as in the natural and unnatural light that you find when the day is fading..... and Dark...as in the darkness of night and all that you find lurking within it. 
On Saturday I said that I would start the new week with some more colour... and lucky for me it found me. Beautiful fluid moving colour in the form of Wim Wenders 3D movie called Pina, that Ive just seen... 

And all I can say is wow wow wow...
What a beautiful and inspiring documentary to German dance legend Pina Beasch, who recently passed away. In tribute to her life's work, Wim Wenders and her company of dancers have created a film that is more like an artwork performance piece than a film, as they give us light, colour and amazing movement through the streets of Dusseldorf and Wuppertal. And with the movie being in 3D they really do fly at you!
We learn how inspiring Pina was as an artist by the way each dancer emotes to screen through movement, but also through their personal interviews to camera, which let us hear such inspiring quotes from Pina as....  'what are you longing for?' + 'Go on Searching'.
Oh its SO great that this beautiful art piece had finally made it to our shores...
loved it.
