Week 5- 2 Videos-Masai Tribe/ Art Blending- 1 Dance Article Review "Site Specific"

What I loved about this was their costumes, so bold and clear in the otherwise dusty landscape.  How to make costumes important, part of the picture.  I've always felt lost about costumes.  I know when it works, but for my own work I've alway felt ignorant somehow.  Maybe I need to strike out more boldly?

Crazy neat, interesting the way the eye sees and the way images fall on the eye. The transitions, could this happen on stage, could this constant blending of images to form one happen with many many performers, I think so.

Megan and I have been discussing the different ideas behind site-specific. Deciding that what we would really like to do next time is actually a truly site specific piece, where the piece is built in and from a specific place, versus being performed in a specific place. I like doing both, and time seems to be the limiting factor. Our hopes in Israel is to be there for a week and acutually get to know a place and build a piece from within.
