    Dominic Walsh's interpretation of The Afternoon of a Faun premiered October 15, 2009 as part of Dominic Walsh Dance Theater's celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Ballets Russes. Under the leadership of Sergei Diaghilev, the Ballets Russes drew upon the genius of leading artists to create innovative collaborations that brought together dancers, choreographers, composers, and painters. Premiered in 1912 by the Ballets Russes, The Afternoon of a Faun was the first piece of choreography by the great dancer Vaslav Nijinsky.

    "A great artist who has influenced me and the imagery in my work is Auguste Rodin. Rodin's sculpture of Nijinsky has always piqued my curiosity and thus, I felt it would be my base for the faun in this production." --Dominic Walsh
    "Un gran artista que me a influido a mi y las imágenes en mi trabajo es Auguste Rodin. La escolptura de Nijinsky siempre a picado mi curiosidad y por eso, yo e sentido que sera mi base por el fauno en esta producción," --Dominic Walsh

    This entire piece is a master class in muscle control...at times awkward, at times beautiful...always demonstrating strength. Hours of practice...wonderfully performed.

    Debussy’s music, the stage lighting, and the various pas de deux of this piece all serve to create a painfully beautiful and poignant experience that leaves one wondering whether or not they’ve actually seen fawns or deer on stage, as their movements and behaviors were brilliantly performed here…

      This, and the video I’m attaching here to share with you, seem to me to be two of the most brilliant interpretations seen, except that the other was a solo performance…

    Re-watching and re-considering this after viewing several works by Matthew Bourne . . . . Bourne's use of male dancers gave me a new appreciation for combinations of two or more men in dance, so I like this better on second viewing. Well done.

    I love this! But what strikes me as odd is that all dancers are naked to emphasize their physique and body line, only the male dancers hide their junk away. As if they didn't have them. I mean, without being rude, why not stand by your masculinity?

    • @josephhapp9

      This is dance not cabaret/porn.
      Junk flops around too much and would distract the audience.

      The female dancer’s breasts and genitals are also very simply and discreetly covered. I agree with the previous response. To leave them uncovered would be a distraction.

      @@josephhapp9 Distract? Male junk is part of the male body just like any other. If you present men basically naked, eveyone will automatically consider their junk anyway. Why not stand by it?
