Posted: 7/17/06 at 9:01amAnd yes, I believe that is Twyla's voice as the "priestess" in the HARE KRISHNA sequence.

Yes that is Twyla and her voice performing the drug wedding.
I believe HAIR is Twyla's most brilliant work.

Posted: 7/19/06 at 10:54pmMe, too! It's a wonderful film. I think it is one of those rare cases where the film is actually better than the stage show (unlike "A Chorus Line").

Posted: 7/19/06 at 10:58pmI agree with you all. One of my favorite movies!! The organic nature of the dance...

My opinion.
I believe Deuce Coupe, Push Comes To Shove and HAIR are Twyla's best.

Twyla doesn't like it, and neither do I. Her dances are too punk-oriented, too attacking, for hippies to be doing. Julie Arenal's Broadway choreography was better, but she's a vicious shrew, regardless of how many lovely revivals of HAIR she does, so I don't see her getting the job for any major revival.

Posted: 7/20/06 at 10:50ami agree the movement looks organic at at least, and so joyful. Here's hoping her Dylan project has a similar feel.

Posted: 7/20/06 at 11:57amI think the movie of HAIR is fun, but absolutely nothing about it - the hair, the costumes, the orchestrations is 1968 period. For the most part, it looks like a movie set in 1978 when it was filmed; that goes for Twyla Tharp's choreography too. It's all very disco-fruzen-glaze.
