Originally, I didn't want this post to be just a collection of video clips, but after much hesitation, I decided to add just one more clip from the Amelia ballet.

who's the lady dancer in amelia, do you know? that piece is simply captivating. i looked it up on youtube and found another version, same dance but with different music. which one is the original?
I can find out the name of Lock's partner, I guess. There are some pictures of them in a 2004 interview, very interesting to read, where Lock said the music doesn't matter: http://fnewsmagazine.com/2004-feb/current/2004-feb/pages/p16.html
You can buy the DVD:

the 2nd piece is actually called My Shooting Star and was from New Demons (West India Company, 1989). It was a part of the Mondo Beyondo anthology video.
