Heartstrings - episode 15
SEAWEED
This is one of many superb and popular dances created by Brenda Kelly. She uses a trad Celtic song Dúlamán sung by Altan.
The movements cleverly capture the way that seaweed drifts sideways at low tide and then is swept in and out by powerful waves.
The text of the song relates to the Irish practice of gathering seaweed, which has been done for various purposes, including for fertilizer, bathing, and food.
Brenda from Sussex UK, who sadly passed away last summer, leaves a legacy of exquisite and highly original choreographies.
These range from up-tempo party dances such Gypsy Swing to her solemn Mass For Peace.
We dedicate this dance with gratitude to Brenda Kelly for her wonderful dance legacy.
You can watch the video on YouTube.
