Collabo ‘09
Hard to place this one coz it’s hip hop and at the same time it’s not. Well it is mostly but… Ok look! You have a few dance groups and choreographers right. They either do a collaboration or interpretation. The collaboration is pretty cool coz the groups/choreographers have different styles. Interpretation on the other had is where the group is given a piece of, I’m guessing, mostly music. And they have to interpret it in dance form. Pretty cool. Started out with kids like 12-18. There was something creepy in quite a few performances but in a nice way. Especially when the girls came on and how they used lighting to make it even creepier. One tended to get confused now and then at which groups is what and etc. The host was very funny and very good at improvisation. The thing I found hard to chew was the two guys doing mixing ballet with hip hop. Just, why 2 guys!? It was pretty good, few uncoordinated moments but that’s coz it’s 2 GUYS! Hahaha I aint tryna be seeing no supported piques and pirouettes without a woman in it. Oh and the video… creepy again but great, like there were so many bits where I was like… how’d they do that?. It was all in black and white apart from the red dice. Extra props for doing it all in one take (we’ll pretend the shoe wasn’t in shot in the closing bit).
