- [00:00:00.000](upbeat music)
- [00:00:06.660]The class assignment was
- [00:00:07.870]to interpret the works of art
- [00:00:10.010]through movement-based analysis.
- [00:00:23.531]They really worked so hard to find
- [00:00:28.520]their own connection with each piece of art.
- [00:00:30.400]It's really a magical process.
- [00:00:38.190]Each dancer, each choreographer
- [00:00:39.820]kind of came up with their own interpretation.
- [00:00:42.680]I really wanted to experiment
- [00:00:44.640]with what was happening to this woman.
- [00:00:46.920]Was she hurt?
- [00:00:48.180]Was she trying to escape?
- [00:00:49.720]So I really wanted to play with that
- [00:00:51.110]with my choreography.
- [00:00:53.218]I had created a completely
- [00:00:55.740]different solo initially,
- [00:00:57.400]and then we came over here
- [00:00:58.860]for the second time
- [00:01:00.000]and I changed my mind
- [00:01:01.770]like all together.
- [00:01:03.030]To actually have a space
- [00:01:04.130]on campus for us to go
- [00:01:05.738]and see it in person
- [00:01:07.244]and see the paint strokes and see
- [00:01:09.900]the actual art right in front of you.
- [00:01:12.410]It definitely influences
- [00:01:13.830]my creative processes at least
- [00:01:15.150]to be in person with the art.
- [00:01:21.520]But to be able to be this close
- [00:01:24.100]to amazing fine art and then to be asked
- [00:01:27.511]to perform in response to that fine art
- [00:01:30.530]is a blessing and a gift.
- [00:01:32.220]It was kind of fun
- [00:01:34.773]to play with the audience
- [00:01:36.220]and see okay if I walk this way
- [00:01:38.210]are they gonna part
- [00:01:39.150]are they just gonna stand there?
- [00:01:40.660]It's definitely more intimate
- [00:01:41.900]and you have to make negotiations
- [00:01:43.770]with the space and the people around you.
- [00:01:45.850]It's a great place
- [00:01:46.683]that just brings us all together,
- [00:01:47.900]the dance world and the art world.
- [00:01:49.650]You could feel
- [00:01:50.483]the vibrancy upstairs
- [00:01:51.316]during this performance.
- [00:01:55.870]Today you were part of a 2017
- [00:01:58.160]version of a happening.
- [00:01:59.500]How exciting is that so?
- [00:02:00.794]Yah!
- [00:02:02.293]Good for you.
- [00:02:03.493](audience applauding)
