Kelley Fairman’s work, Atlas consisted of six dancers and was performed as the culminating work of the concert. The modern-inspired dance showcased each dancer’s strength while creating a narrative. Through the choreographed movement,…

The final dance Folk Dance for a Gay ex-Methodist White Boy, choreographed by Andrew Vaca, conveyed the idea that if one lets themselves go and free themselves from conformity, that they can simply be happy and not care how they look whilst doing so. This was heavily shown through the focus on a soloist throughout the entire dance, lighting, costumes and music. The soloist was the center of attention throughout this entire dance even if she was not on the center of the stage. The entire stage…

piece that caught my eye was the Meprobamate choreographed by Abby Hinchley, I believe the dance was about a 1950s housewives, who were told how to live and who they were to be. I liked how each dancer was introduced separately showing that the second and third…

trying to get away. When he let’s go of her, she’s left devastated dancing in suffering. It’s the end of the scene, she’s dancing like a swan until everything goes to black. Which is also how the ballet ends, she dances like a swan but then kills herself. This scene ends with the dance, before the white swan…

The blinding stage lights shine on the boy in a dress twirling to music blaring behind him. Silhouettes of the audience screaming love at the queen and holding dollar bills out. He snatches up the attention. His lips follow the lyrics effortlessly as his body flops to the floor. Roaring applause, and the lights dim.

In some cases a film will not promote embodied viewership, but rather, disembodied viewership caused by some kind of disconnect between the spectator and the spectacle…

Imagine a place where hundreds of people go almost everyday to see a couple of people perform live and have a good time with all their friends. I went to The Rave and this is where that happens. On my birthday, February 4th, I went to Milwaukee Wisconsin to see Excision perform along with 12th Planet, Cookie Monsta, Dion Timmer, Bear Grillz and Barely Alive. Excision has always been one of my favorite music producers since I was around 12 years old. The music he produces is dubstep, not everyone…

video I chose to analyze was “Don’t Touch My Hair” by Solange. The song comes from her album titled, A Seat at the Table, which was released in 2015. The video has a vintage look laced with diverse black hairstyles, eclectic fashion and interpretative dance moves. There are various scenes and camera angles used which include a simulated basketball game, a church choir, women at a swimming pool and dancing inside and outside an observatory. The song and video is about black women and their hair.…

For the past three years, I have been apart of the Sartell Dance Team. Starting my freshman year I was definitely intimidated. I was scared that all the upperclassmen were judging every kick, jump, and turn I did at practice. It was a year of learning the ropes and getting the feel for high school dance team. I thought it was fun to be honest. I enjoyed hanging out with my grade and just getting to know them. I felt good about myself because I went from an alternate to a dancer in formation…
