Rakafeed Colder Matthew Koon Debut States Goes Viral

67

By Debby Bruck

This Will Blow You Out of the Water

Art and dance reappears

Visualize the vogue male ballerina

Express emotional music through movement


His body bends, folds, turns and spins

Like a bird in the sky or a fish in water

Head joggles off droplet


Fingers twitch last breaths of air

Carried away with emotion

No longer a spectator


Flourish the feeling

Part of this recreation

Blowing bubbles of light


Listen to the guitar strings

Vocalize with harmonic chorus

The azure blue ripples water

You are free


Poem Copyright 2010 DebbyBruck


Talented artists in drama, dance, drawing and music appear to be getting younger and younger. As some have lost their way, with no drive and ambition, those like Matthew explode with an inner drive to express themselves.

The television shows that search for talent bring them out of hiding. Take a look at a rising star.

We will also hear more from musical talent producer Rakafeed with the debut of this video production of highest dramatic photographic and artistic quality. Remember when Tommy and the Who came on stage? Rakafeed brings together a mass-collective of producers, writers and artists.

RAKAFEED are Richard Northen in association with Plan B, Florence and the Machine and Massive Attack collaborator Sally Herbert and guitarist Elliot King.

It has been 6 months since I first saw this video. We have seen this talented artist bloom on stage. The dramatic water dance depicts to me a drowning and rebirth.

You can visit Rakafeed's Website which will link you to the iTunes Selections and Downloads. The music is at once rhythmic backbeat drums with hauntingly beautiful tremolo strings.

Click the STILLS photographs and the sepia toned nature landscape images display desert, rocks, sea and still-lifes from video production settings.

You can also view the "Sun Creeps Through" video of slow motion car crashes. It's all about the body's fragility and life. How do you take this in? What message are you receiving?

"Kerosene" video makes you wonder, do we breath fire or frozen air?

I think the short video "Denial" must be about Global Warming and how man has effected his environment.

No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own were; any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in Mankind; And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee.

John Donne, Meditation XVII English clergyman & poet (1572 - 1631)

Who is Matthew Koon?

Ballet Today

Ballet today is as much about acrobatics, strength training, flexibility, and integrating other types of dance as accomplishes turns, jumps, speed and point. Dancers amaze with their rhythm, compositions, fluidity, transitions, partnerships and coordination. They appear to fly and defy gravity and make it all look so easy. Or do they?

Channel M Today chats to Got To Dance finalist Matthew Koon

He's Just A Youngster

Matthew is only 16 years old and plans to attend dance school. Ask me, he could be the instructor. He practices hours each day and he's a natural. Thousands of would-be dancers applied to appear on Davinia McCall's latest show - 'Got to Dance'. Channel M Today's Jemma Gofton chats to Matthew Koon who put himself through the tough auditions.

How many ways can a person rise in this field today? The competition must be incredible and that's why his parents and especially his mother expect him to complete his regular schooling.

Baryshnikov eat your heart out. "The bar has been set" for a world class dancer.

Matthew has his whole life ahead of him. We will see a lot more from him in the coming years on Broadway and touring around the world.

Hello Ethel. When young people devote themselves to the art world, instead of the business world or a place where there may be a more secure financial future, we know they live from the heart. Thanks for visiting!
