Baryshnikov & Waters

I just watched Iconoclasts on Sundance channel. They brought Mikhail Baryshnikov & Alice Waters together. It was amazing. They both focus on the importance of taking care of our bodies. Mikhail through dance and Alice through food. As I was watching I was amazed that our bodies can make us feel so free and open and also make us feel like our body is the cage we live in. It all depends on the choices we make. Or more like how we make friends with the body we live in especially when we are surrounded by messages that direct us away from body awareness and body appreciation- in whatever form or shape.

Iconoclasts- is a great series. Allowing for new interaction between people/artists who wouldn't really think to put together. The first one I saw and fell in love with was between Mike Myers and Deepak Chopra. I didn't really care for Chopra till I saw that and I appreciated why he is who he is. If you get a chance to see it, do. It is pretty powerful.
