Video – So You Think You Can’t Understand Contemporary Dance

Lisa Kraus

thINKingDANCE has long-planned to integrate media into the site. Taking part in The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage’s ‘No Idea is Too Ridiculous’ program has provided us with a goad and some resources to take this initial foray.

We hope this video by Gabrielle Revlock in collaboration with TD will appeal to people who feel they don’t know so much about dance, but who could find watching dance  really enjoyable given a few more cues.

If you’d like to share it, to help it reach those folks (your mother? your neighbor?) you can go to our Facebook page and share it on your wall. Or tweet about it. That way you’ll really help spread the word about dance! Thanks.
