About the video:
Architectural Choreography comes to life as Laura Kriefman shows how she makes cities dance through the use of mechanical cranes. In this fascinating exploration, Kriefman delves into the inherent movement and beauty of urban infrastructure, reflecting on the phrase “jack of all trades, master of none” and how it relates to her diverse skill set. She emphasizes the power of dance as a pure form of energy translation through time and space, while also challenging societal fears surrounding this art form.
The video goes deeper into Kriefman’s concept of augmented dance, merging technology with movement, and pushing the boundaries of traditional dance.
