Dreams made flesh

TED has a YouTube channel and a blog. But I got this via email from an extraordinary dancer named Florencia Tacetti, who teaches tango here in the Twin Cities. Thank you, Florencia!

From the video description:
"Pilobolus dance company members Otis Cook and Jennifer Macavinta perform the sensuous duet "Symbiosis." Does it trace the birth of a human relationship, or the co-evolution of a pair of symbiotic species? That's left for you to decide. Gorgeous, organic choreography blurs the boundaries between the two performers, who use the body's own geometry to lift, move and combine. The music, recorded by the Kronos Quartet on Nonesuch Records, is a compilation of works: "God Music" from Black Angels by George Crumb, "Fratres" by Arvo Pärt, and "Morango ... Almost a Tango" by Thomas Oboe Lee."
From the comments: "The director for "symbiosis" was Michael Tracy in collaboration with Otis Cook (in the video) and Renee Jaworski."
