The dancer, the singer, the cellist ... and a moment of creative magic

  • Not Synced
    Isadora Duncan,
  • Not Synced
    crazy, long-legged woman
  • Not Synced
    from San Francisco,
  • Not Synced
    got tired of this country,
  • Not Synced
    and she wanted to get out.
  • Not Synced
    Isadora was famous
  • Not Synced
    somewhere around 1908
  • Not Synced
    for putting up a blue curtain,
  • Not Synced
    and she would stand
  • Not Synced
    with her hands over her solar plexus
  • Not Synced
    and she would wait,
  • Not Synced
    and she would wait,
  • Not Synced
    and then, she would move.
  • Not Synced
    (Music)
  • Not Synced
    Josh and I and Somi call this piece
  • Not Synced
    "The Red Circle and the Blue Curtain."
  • Not Synced
    Red circle.
  • Not Synced
    Blue curtain.
  • Not Synced
    But,
  • Not Synced
    this is not the beginning
    of the 20th century.
  • Not Synced
    this is a morning in Vancouver
  • Not Synced
    in 2015.
  • Not Synced
    (Music)
  • Not Synced
    Come on, Josh!
  • Not Synced
    (Music)
  • Not Synced
    (Singing)
  • Not Synced
    Are we there yet?
  • Not Synced
    I don't think so.
  • Not Synced
    Hey, yeah!
  • Not Synced
    (Music)
  • Not Synced
    What time is it?
  • Not Synced
    (Music)
  • Not Synced
    Where are we?
  • Not Synced
    Josh.
  • Not Synced
    Somi.
  • Not Synced
    Bill T.
  • Not Synced
    Josh.
  • Not Synced
    Somi.
  • Not Synced
    Bill T.
  • Not Synced
    (Applause)
  • Not Synced
    Yeah, yeah!
