Taehyung in Motion - a visual thread of his performance silhouettes

It’s not enough to execute a move or strike a pose - it has to be visually pleasing too. We have here examples from Tae’s fansites capturing his spatial sensibility, control & mindfulness on his body outlines. +

Taehyung has a very lean, broad but also slim and delicate build. A very versatile build for both sharp and soft movements and his bodyline is just suitable to his groovy dance style. +

He loves to time and temper his energy and spikes according to the rhythm, and depending on the flow of rhythm he will emphasize from there. This translates so well with pictures - and why he’s so photogenic even when moving.

Here are some examples of Taehyung’s sharp and angular accents captured. How can you tell if his movement works and captured on camera? It has much to do with his locks and isolations. You need to curb the power on the movement to have strong, sharp frames. Very controlled.

Meanwhile, for his softer, more flowy movements, Taehyung does a lot of arching - sideways, forward or backward - to emphasize the curves and slopes of his build. Yes to that S line

mind that it’s easy to be too relaxed and not push effort in their curvature.

Again - Taehyung’s isolations are part of his strengths and he plays with that quite well, especially his limbs. He makes use of these to make art with the space and floor pattern. Look how nice these are

Look how Taehyung extends his arms to create unique dimensions on the upper level. Very expressive. +

How about Taehyung’s lower limbs... It could be the choreo but how he controls his joints and accents one over the other is very pretty.+

It’s clear here how Taehyung’s clothes are an extension of himself, and this is how it should be. Putting enough body energy to whip out the fabric in a desired, tempered motion. +

This is also bearing in mind that the clothes should still look pretty as it “moves” too. Taehyung knows that

I think it’s a huge reason why they dress Taehyung often in coats - apart from looking fabulous, he knows how to use the clothing as prop to the performance and uses it for storytelling. He knows how to carry his build even if he’s garbed. IDOL and Singularity, for examples:

Even when he’s wearing loose shirts -(very easy to look like a box with these types) Taehyung knows how to accentuate his frame with his joints.

What is Art?

Look at him go! Even when Taehyung’s on using a different space and level, his ridiculous amount of control over his shapes as well as his clothes are on point.

Taehyung’s expressive hands create more unique silhouettes for his storytelling in performances. DETAILS

Look at his fingers. Even they’re working and creating doing some artistic magic in the performance space. Taehyung is so detailed I don’t think we will ever find out how much

I know the last photo isn’t really a silhouette but it must be added here. Just. Look. How. Pretty.

Now let me just indulge you all some more beautiful performance shots of Taehyung that further shows his spatial sensibility of the performance space.
