How to Watch a Modern Dance Concert...
Loading...
Uploaded by geselm on Sep 4, 2008
Ever went to a modern or contemporary dance concert and felt completely lost? Gesel Mason (dancer) and Cheles Rhynes (narrator) offer this hilarious, but true, primer called "How to Watch a Modern Dance Concert or What in the Hell are They Doing on Stage?"
"Gesel Mason's 'How to Watch a Modern Dance Concert, or What in the Hell are They Doing on Stage?' was even funnier than it's title, and wickedly on the mark..."

Love it! It certainly does dispel any confusion about "What's going on? What does it mean? What are they TRYING to say?!"

Fantastic! Very funny, I took modern dance in college and it brought back memories of my early confusion of what I was seeing and what I was supposed to feel...or thought I was supposed to feel.

Gesel this made my life when you performed this at ACDFA. It's the perfect piece that modern dancers can share with friends and family that "never get it" when they go and watch them dance. Especially my Grandma. I've tried to explain to her so much about Modern dance and she has such a hard time understanding. I hope this will help her! Thanks for your art!
