Strophe (Turning ~ Point)

"George Seferis was born in Smyrna in 1900 and died in Athens in
1971. In 1931 he published, at this own expense, a collection of poetry
with the ambiguous title 'Strophe' (meaning both part of a poem and
'turning-point'😉.

The collection contained thirteen short poems, most of them in
traditional metre and rhythm, and a more extensive poem, the cryptic
'Erotikos Logos,' in 96 rhymed 15-syllable verses, which vividly
brings to mind Erotokritos, the celebrated Cretan 17th century poem."

Strophe ~ The first of two movements
Made by the chorus in a classical Greek drama,
Or the part of an ode sung during, thusly.

The first type of metrical form in a poem, alternating
Two contrasting metrical forms.

Antistrophe ~ The second of two movements
Made by the chorus in a classical Greek drama,
Or the section of an ode sung
During this movement.

The chorus moves back in the opposite direction
After the first movement,
The Strophe.

The second type of metrical form in a poem
That alternates two contrasting
Metrical forms.

Pirouette ~ A fast complete spin of the body,
Especially one performed on the tip of the toe
Or the ball of one foot in ballet.

To perform a fast body spin
On one foot,
Especially in ballet ~ !

~ * The Turning Point ~

"Shirley MacLaine and Anne Bancroft star in this musical drama and
touching portrait of the world of dance in New York City.

A ballet star (Anne Bancroft) is reunited with her best friend and
rival (Shirley MacLaine) after years apart.

Against the engrossing background of the world of ballet, their stories
unfold, revealing the difficult choices and aching losses each woman
has faced. The film features Mikhail Baryshnikov's fim debut, with
sumptous choreography."

Jean Rouch:

Cinéma-vérité,
Chronicle of a Summer
and The Human Pyramid

~ Barbara Bruni

"Not much has been written about ethnographic filmmaker Jean Rouch's
documentary The Human Pyramid (1960) in comparison to the interest
aroused by Chronique D'Un Été (Chronicle of a Summer, 1961), the
product of his collaboration with sociologist Edgar Morin.

While most of his earlier documentaries were filmed in Africa,
Chronicle of a Summer is set in Paris in the aftermath of the Algerian
war and just before the explosion of social riots that came to dominate
that decade.

Chronicle of a Summer does not follow an established structure but is
driven in an unpredictable manner by its characters and their reactions
to the camera.

It is arguably Rouch's best-known work, and has been widely discussed
in the context of documentary filmmaking for its innovative cinematic
techniques, its choice of scenario (the rough, urban streets of Paris
during a significant historical moment) and for being the first film to
define itself using the term cinéma-vérité."

"THRUSH

Ephemeral issue of a vicious daemon and a harsh fate,
why do you force me to speak of things that it would be better for you
not to know.

SILENUS TO MIDAS*

I

The house near the sea*

The houses I had they took away from me. The times
happened to be unpropitious: war, destruction, exile;
sometimes the hunter hits the migratory birds,
sometimes he doesn't hit them. Hunting
was good in my time, many felt the pellet;
the rest circle aimlessly or go mad in the shelters.

Don't talk to me about the nightingale or the lark
or the little wagtail
inscribing figures with his tail in the light ...

"I answered ~
It is possible to see the Shimmer Sea.

'They possess a secret, The Secret is this ~ A Secret rests in two
bodies of attraction, and knowledge hidden there. We must distinguish
two types of secrets, two differences of change, The Two Sequences.

The First Sequence, of an event taking place before our eyes, The
Second Sequence, of an event already produced.

In the first, we detect an event, as though by chance, randomly
dispersed, and in the second, it is the memory meant.

Imagine, if you can, by measuring the relative step of these two gulls
in their flights.

I looked out to sea to see by her window One, by intention, One
catching up with the Other, following in a regular and persistent
pattern, describing a model of her flight, of One, of The Other.

'We observe the space, the provision of space given beings and
things, and we follow their temporal succession.

But to perceive them moving through The Changes Rung, The Progression
of Steps, The Steps Ahead, requires The Directional Sense of Each One.
As for where their wings will take them and The Time When, each gull
follows the model determined in the search for her love.

In this direction,
All the creatures go.'"

"Really, those statues are not
the fragments. You yourself are the relic;
they haunt you with a strange virginity
at home, at the office, at receptions for the celebrated,
in the unconfessed terror of sleep;
they speak of things you wish didn't exist
or would happen years after your death,
and that's difficult because..."
