Ever year I say to my students that some assignments can be submitted however they would like. It’s inevitable that somebody will joke that they will submit their assignment not as an essay but as an interpretive dance. No one has actually followed through with it, I hope that these videos inspire them to though.
Whenever I feel that I need some inspiration I watch people dance on the internet. Not just any old dancing – they need to be dancing in a public place where others don’t expect such fun!
You see, they need to be out in places not regularly used for dancing because it makes watching the spectators fun too. The public dancing breaks so many social conventions that I feel that it’s a great place to get inspiration from because this dancing is, at its core, trying to push creative boundaries.
My watching of dance videos can be traced back to some dude named Nathan.
