I think that expressionism is a way of art where the artist expresses emotions in radical ways. The video of the Japanese form of dance had a creeping and disturbing way of emotion through the body where as in the operas you could hear the singers' pain in their voices. Expressionism seems like a form that is settling but more dynamic in the sense of death.
Also I had realized the haunting use of space in the performances. any prop being used was simple and also the colors that were used contributed to the feel or the performance. The dark light helped make the space either feel vast or small. Expressionism to me seems like a way of expressing emotions through a intense and torturing way.
Yes, all about the emotions... but what is REALLY interesting to me is that you again are locking in on SPACE...

I think this space thing with you is a calling that needs to be explored. Any ideas?
