Iranian of the Day

Ida shines again

Our Ida was one of the recipient of the 2010 Presidential Scholars in the  National Recognition Week in Washington DC.

Fantastic! Anyone accusing her of Pro Ahmadi yet? Chador?

I guess, we would have to wait for digging if she ever gets close to finals!

Whoever said that IRI didn't do any good! Look, if it werent for IRI she wouldn't be here in the US! IRI, keep up the pressure, so more find a way to freedom finding their potentials!

She shows them what could be under the chador! Mollahs, please keep them wrapped up! They are too dangerous for their own and you own good! Otherwise, you might be out of work! 

Congrtualtions! Keep up the good work! Yadesh bekheir javooni!

Nahzi, thank you

for your response.  Ida is very talented and her deep emotional connection will make her a lasting name in her craft! We will all be watching and cheering her on! 

Unravel, by far was my favorite as it showed her range and physical ability.

And I appreciate you looking at the site.  And I will hug the little man for sure!

thank you,

Dear Kaveh,

I just reviewed the link you had left  on my blog entry.  Thank you.

From what you had written, I see how you must have been quite moved by watching Ida express herself, magnificently, through dance.  Did you get a chance to see her other performances?  I hope you do.  You will be moved yet again.

1.  Discombobulate       2. Unravel

Also, good luck with the book project and the future ones to come.  Give your son, Kian, a hug for me too.

Nothing accidental

her choice of music, her mentioning Iran and the authoritarian regime that did not let her mother dance, and her choreography.  

Ida you are exceptinaly fabulous to watch

And I commend your mother for sticking by you and instilling her love of dancing in you. She is a genious to recognize your talents. I can only think of such fluid movement perfection in animated movies. Keep up the good work darling and hats off to your mom too!

Bravo

She is very talented.

Well done.

Simply amazing

I am proud to be Iranian and feel privileged to see her art! So emotionally connected that I have no words to describe it. Very proud.

Discombowhat?

I had to look up "discombobulate", which still fails to describe my amazement at extra muscles in her legs which she is able to utilize.

Discombobulate

Here is another GREAT performance:

Hors sujet!

Sorry everyone, for my "hors sujet" comment! 

(My dear Humanbeing...I totally agree with you! Pianist is an extraordinary movie, Polanski is a better director, and the attic scene in Pianist was chilling, unforgettable, wonderful...But overall, I liked the Schindler's List better, maybe because of its divine music, almost as sad as Samuel Barber's Adagio for strings...two of my favorites pieces of music, acting like a muse for many of my writings!)

Back to Ida, our Iranian of the Day!

preferred schindler's list to pianist

thanks nahzi for this and for the barishnikov.

in contrast to the misha piece (not that i'm knocking him -- although i always thought nureyev was a far more charismatic performer), the energies conveyed in ida's dance seem, at least to me, meta-romantic, beyond it, an awakening power.

and yes, azarin and dk, the choice of the music makes it more powerful.

although i'm a polanski acolyte, as a whole movie in this sub-genre, including music, pathos, and other effects i much preferred spielberg's 'schindler's list' to polanski's 'pianist' (but there was one amazing scene in the attic in the 'pianist').

Schindler's List too

BRAVO !

Brava!

Amazing dancer! The choregraphy and her strength is totally mesmerizing and the emotions in her dance gave me goose bumps! Brava!

Plus, I love her choice of music, one of my all time favorites, The Schindler List's soundtrack by John Williams.

Wishing her the best!
