If Boundaries Had No Friends

Oooh! A skip of my little ol' heart :)

A few places that make me happy:

Santa Cruz, representin' - Wish it was a little more regular, but I still dig it.

http://www.collagedancetheatre.org/company/mission.html - A contemporary dance company based out of LA. Sort of an oxymoron, but they're pretty cool.

Dance in a non-dancer's life is often spontaneous, often blurps of energy or simply a joke. It's (almost) never about months of planning and rehearsal. The same could be said for music, so I'm not saying that dance can ONLY be performed as it is seen in everyday life. All I'm saying is that the performance of dance around the world should include much of that kind of dancing, slightly formalized by trained dancers. Maybe, just maybe, that would be a much easier type of dance for the everyday person to relate to.

DIARY OF A SCHIZOPHRENIC DANCER

A blog I'm watching while doing research on my Sr. project. Ran by Qudus Onikeku, a man from Nigeria who I met at Bates Dance Festival. He recently created a documentary called "Do We Need Cola Cola to Dance?" It talks about his attempt to touch everyone, despite their place in society, with art. He showed this documentary at Bates, and since it documented him dancing on the street as part of the community, I was very interested.
