William Kentridge One Minute Videos

The ever resourceful William Kentridge whom I've written about over the years has once again understood the zeitgeist of our current moment. In sympathy with artists who may be confined, (he has a large studio with a garden in Johannesburg and his Center for the Less Good Idea ) such as dancers, actors, musicians with whom he often collaborates on his ambitious projects, he has loaded six one-minute videos on YouTube. My favorite is this one, his waltz with a chair, so poignant and evocative of the moment. I too am dancing in my office, a tiny respite from lockdown. Check out the YouTubes to see which one you prefer.
