 Boston University's dance theater group hosted Motion Art, a night of various artistic performances at the 808 Art Gallery. The idea is that art can be performances, not just paintings. We wanted to try something new and performing in an unconventional space, so we checked out the gallery and decided this would be the best place to hold it. We really wanted to bring different art forms together, which is exciting because not many times do we ever have the opportunity to do this, and we really enjoyed being able to bring visual art music and dance in one space. I was really excited to perform tonight because we had a chance to collaborate with a bunch of different art forms, like the singing group, musicians, the artwork on the wall we got to collaborate with and then dancing with our bodies, so it was awesome to bring all that together. The Motion Art show included performances by various dance and singing groups. Many of the dances have been rehearsed for weeks. One piece was completely improvised on the spot, another was learned just an hour before curtain. So the last piece we did, we had a choreographer come in, actually an hour before the show started, and we learned a piece of choreography, it was about four or five minutes long, and we were really nervous because we had just learned it, but it was awesome, it was really cool and I think the audience enjoyed it. Although the performance is over, the dancers say they'll be back at the studio tomorrow rehearsing for the next one. Reporting for BUTV News, I'm Malia Moses.
