Curtsy To Me

 

 

“She’s on the cusp, before the shell of womanly politeness, meekness, quietness hardens over her.  It’s the female tragedy; that we all close over, become someone else; someone who others expect us to be.   This little girl’s vividness is blazing, raw, unchecked, beautiful.  The clip ends with a knowing curtsy, as if to say:  “I’m so much more than what you think I am.”  Words by Nikki Gemmell, Weekend Australian Magazine, about the video featuring an 11 year old dancer.
