I am thrilled to see how much press - and cross postings - are happening this week around the GoPro video of the vertical dance company Bandaloop. Check out the video here, which already has almost 400,000 views!
I am excited to do some more research on the web this week to see other dance-related videos using GoPro equipment.
I was just reading about "kinesthetic empathy" last night. Check out this video to gain a sense of dancing on the side of a building!

This is a recent article by Siobhan Burke in the NY Times. Short and thoughtful, the article asks great questions around audience attention, live versus recorded dances, and accessibility.

I was thrilled to read today of this massive undertaking - the New York Public Library making its extensive dance film collection available online. Click here to read more.
We are at an incredible stage right now in terms of access to dance archives as well as current clips (Youtube, Jacob's Pillow online archives, and now the NYPL). Whether viewing simply for personal interest, or seeking films for a dance history course, check out the thousands of films now accessible to you through the New York Public Library website.
