It's not that I have anything against dance as an art form. It's just that it's not my thing, you know.
But I'm willing to stipulate that just because I don't like it, doesn't mean there's not some good dance out there. Of course, I'll also point out that, as with any other form of expression, there's a lot of … oh, what's the technical term?… ah yes, CRAP out there as well, 90 percent of which can be found in American pop culture centers such as HipHopTV and any reality television programming.
Still, every once in a while I'll see a ballet, or a stage show, or my 3-year-old daughter and see a pure form of art. And I think this amazing production from Japanese street dance crew (huh?) WRECKING CREW ORCHESTRA.
The combination of choreography, movement and technical lighting is really amazing.

Showed the vid to the Astas and their first question was "Can we get light syits like that for ballet?" Followed by "When can we go to Japan?"
ReplyDeleteWho ever did the choregraphy/lighting did a GREAT job.
