Kassandra Prus is one of our Intersection Project performer. As an artist in the city, she is interested in the interaction between art and life, the difference or similarity between dance and pedestrian movement, the relationship artists have with their audience, and the various perspectives people have on contemporary art.
Here are some of the questions she wants to share:
Boundaries
What/where is the boundary between dance and pedestrian movement?
Does the line between pedestrian movement and dance shift in different settings?
Acceptability
Where is dance “acceptable”? Why? What does it look like?
From the things we do every day, what do we choose to show? What do we crystallize into art? Why does something make the cut to become part of a work?
Perspective
Does the line between movement and dance shift when we change our perspective?
How do you “prepare” an audience for a performance? How do you surprise them? How do you break your audiences expectations?
How long can you hold a surprised audiences attention?
Foundations
Does stringing together movement turn it into dance?
Why is visual rhythm so much harder to recognize than auditory rhythm when vision is our strongest sense?
And you, what do you think? How do you envision dance/art as part of the larger society?
