I was interested in the movement of dance for my practice video performance. I had my cousin who is still in elementary school perform her dance for me and I focused solely on her legs. I wanted to keep it simple and show the evolution of dance. We all have seen professional performances, but those dancers had to come from somewhere. By focusing simply on her feet and legs, it takes her age out of the picture but it is clear she is a novice. I didn’t want the focal point to be on her but the dance itself. The grass and weather add another aspect to the dance in that the glass blades add a bit of an obstacle for her feet and her shoes.
