Breakdance, throughout its history, has been a branch of dance that has been reserved for the streets and away from the typical places of dance performance, such as the theatre and studios. I wanted the work to direct viewers to look closely at the level of skill and diligent practice each breakdancer devotes to perfecting their dance.
Living currently in our fast-paced world, the dancer’s quick movements successfully satisfy our visual desires for quick legibility and instantaneous phenomena as, through the universality of dance, the meaning and experience of the work are easily understandable and does not exclude people who are unfamiliar to modern or abstract art.
This work is designed for outdoor projection on a facade in a public space.
