step up revolution gallery dance hd



Working with The Universal Experience, I was reminded of this scene from a recently published dance film (yeah, that right, a dance movie).  Ignoring the obviously steller acting, I think the museum setting and the challenge of unexpected experience staged by the dancers reflect the intentionality of Universal Experience - how the editors of the image and text collective look to reconfigure and adapt institutionalized tourism.  Universal Experience hopes to refigure the institutionalized tourist experience based in place and space into an aesthetic that can happen through the institution of electracy or even merely reproduction.   While the dancers in this scene are based in the physicality of the body and the museum space, they reconfigure the art, layering expression and melding reproduction with innovation, tradition with new aesthetic.

Not to mention that the entire 'production' is filmed digitally, initiated in the physical for the purpose of electrate reproduction and viewing - turning the tourist into the viewer and back again.

  1. Ok, that was kinda cool, I gotta admit. I couldn't sit through the storyline, but this scene was neat.
