I Hate Dance (Beethoven & Stephen Fry)

The result of a photo shoot in Carlisle. Photographed and edited by myself I decided to play with narrative in an up coming exhibition at university. I deconstructed the existing narrative and reconstructed the choreography to create my own. I also played with music and speech using stephen Fry's Podcast: Bored of the Dance something which came in rather timely. It plays with contradiction and challenges his words. The music is Beethoven's Symphony no.9 part II.

Except you can dance to classical music. Just close your eyes and pretend to be a conductor. There you go - dance.

Oh you pompus twat classical music especially beethoven always has far too much rom pom pom and twidle dee dee and the fast bits just remind me of charlie chaplin flicks.

Well..........I watched this twice, and enjoyed it even more immensely second time around. The irony of Hugh Laurie being quoted that Beethoven cannot be danced to as a voiceover.......whilst shown seeming effortless....with just a sequence of pictures!!!!!! A subtle and elequant clip is shown. Just ruddy good fun....in your face u posh git hugh!

You did a great job combining all the elements here, esamwise! I loved this video (and Stephen's voice, which is wonderful, as usual).

@janemba42 YES that was my exact thought. I kept expecting him to explain the benefits of a pan galactic gargle blaster or something.

[janemba42]

every time i hear his voice all i can think of is hitchhikers guide to the galaxy
