Room Travelling – Bedroom Edition

“You can tell a lot about people by what’s on their bedside table…the little unexpected details…”

– Horst

This week we are paying tribute to the most intimate room in your home, the bedroom.

Remember our first challenge about room traveling? We looked at de Maistre’s Journey Around My Bedroom to inspire us to do the same in our own homes.

We thought you might enjoy a short film of a ballet by Benjamin Millepied. It revolves solely around one dancer in a bedroom slowly, sensuously, and deliberately engaging with a chair, mirror, and naturally the bed.

The piece is titled Partita and played to Philip Glass’s ‘Partita for Solo Violin.’

Benjamin’s site-specific ballets are done in real places. Now Benjamin has created ’Twelve Variations on a Theme’ a ballet film to honor the healthcare workers who are clocking insane hours and caring for others.

“Philip’s new solo violin works are very beautiful, haunting and heartbreaking at the same time. Images came quickly to mind, stories and intimate moments reflecting life.”

 -Benjamin Millepied
(Founder of LA Dance Project, Former director of Paris Opera Ballet and New York City Ballet Principal Dancer for 9 Years)

We dedicate this film to the healthcare workers of the world. We thank you for for your tireless efforts, at great risk to yourselves, to protect, care for, and save us all. The sacrifices you are making, and the example you are setting, give us the greatest hope that there will be better days ahead. Today’s heroes wear scrubs, not capes.
