rivers_bend at 07:27am on 25/05/2012 under sytycdI have historically not been all that excited about the audition weeks of SYTYCD beyond YAY IT'S BACK IT'S BACK, but they've really been doing a MUCH better job with them the last couple years and I only had to ffwd through one little segment last night. And then rewind one and watch it a couple times.

OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD OHHHMYGOD.
I love dance. Not in the way a dancer loves it, I'm sure, and not in a way where I spend money to go and see people dancing on a regular basis, but I love that we can make art and tell stories with our bodies as well as with all the other media we find to use. I absolutely loathe competition TV shows on the whole, but every cringe-inducing moment is worth it so that I can see the dancing on SYTYCD. And I'm often moved by it. Getting teary-eyed when I watch is not a new thing.
But I have NEVER ended up doubled over, ugly crying, with goosebumps on every inch of my body, gasping for air before. Twice. Because I had to watch again.
That speech he gave before he danced about taking your fears and about souls and all that stuff that made Nigel bitchface... It's hard to listen to something like that and believe it's true. But apparently it's true. I feel like I'm a markedly different person having seen that dance in a way that I usually only get from novels. (I don't know that I AM a markedly different person, but I feel like it.)
I want to see so much more from Mr. Williams.
