Design in dance

As a dancer, I see dance as one of the greatest designs to date. The beauty and magic that dancers create before viewers eyes are completely driven by emotions and experience. I wanted to share with all of you, the work of my favorite designer, Mia Michaels. Mia is a choreographer of lyrical and contemporary dance. Below I attached a beautiful piece that Mia choreographed for the TV show So You Think You Can Dance, expressing her experiences with addiction. The male dancer in this film portrays an addiction that continues to bind the female dancer with its strength. In the piece, her moving art forms (two dancers) paint a picture of one of her greatest life struggles, and it is truly beautiful. In our class, we have discussed many forms of design and creation, but we have not yet discussed the art of dance. Hopefully this will expand your minds on the many complexities design truly has. Watch the video with Mia's creative vision in mind...
