The Machine is Us/ing Us - Dance Mix
May 1st, 2009 by Prof Wesch
Almost 9 months ago, the College of Wooster president, Grant Cornwell, forwarded my video to a remarkable collection of people who were daring and creative enough to think they could dance it … not just dance to it … but truly dance it. And they do. What a great performance. The choreography by Kim Tritt is mesmerizing and surprising (see 2:31!). The music by Sebastian Birch and Ed Caner of Kent State University is nicely melodic and reflective while maintaining the sense of a driving technological edge that is enticing and seductive (the machine is us, yeah!) yet menacing and sometimes threatening (the machine is using us, yikes!). And it is danced beautifully. Special thanks to Dale Seeds for helping to put all these remarkable people together for this production.
Bravo!
very nice! when I saw your tweet on this I was skeptical . . . but this is very well done.
And the costumes are google colors. Outstanding all around!
Collaborative opportunities are vibrant and dynamic as this proves. I’m getting excited at the notion of costume, performance and digital media students working together like this
So far we’ve looked into collaborations between costume and performance or digital media character designers and costume makers working on joint projects, so this has been a great inspiration. Thanks.
I can’t tell you how much I enjoyed this! To combine the arts with technology was truly an amazing watch!!
Why on earth am i sitting here crying?
This is brilliant…
I simply do not understand interpretive dance but I have faith that others do. I find the dance distracting but it is really fantastic that folks would collaborate in this way.
Found this by coincindence following different links after watching a presentation by Michael Wesch. Absolutely fab!
I cried too.
Hi,
