Modern? Dance
Ive said it once, and i’ll say it again. Modern dance makes little to no sense to me. Is that what artists feel “modern” means? confusing and random? How does that reflect on society in general today?
Its always irked me that things that are called modern in art are usually things that are just, odd. Things that generally are haphazardly put together. We are usually “told” what it is supposed to mean. WTF? I’ve always felt that art shound need no info card, no interpreter… It should take on a meaning of its own and be good enough that the general emotions of the artist are reflected into the viewer. Whats the point when someone has to tell me what it means? why dont we just call the info card the art and leave off the random jumble of garbage and crap.
Modern dance tho, is the worse. Since when did dance go the way of poetry; where “freeform” is the in style. Since when did standing around be considered dance? What happened to the fluid movement, the twirling, the interaction. This modern dance show i saw was just full of pushing, pulling and twitches. The dances were so random that they had to have a prologue/info area for each dance piece. *sigh* To each his own i suppose.
