The New York Times recently published a video about a NYC dance ensemble, called the No-See-Ums, who perform for people who are either blind or wearing a blindfold. Instead of body movements they are incorporating our senses and translating them into dance moves. It is a really interesting take on dancing. Check it out and let me know what you guys think about it? Do you think it should be considered a dance?

This is an interesting concept. Without vision, you need to trust your body more so you won't bump into others or fall off the stage when dancing.
ReplyDeleteIn regards to the video, the scream would have been so scary to me! Usually when we hear unpleasant noises, we look to see where it is coming from so we can run in the opposite direction. I feel these exercises can make a person stronger and overcome their fears and physical obstacles in life.
