Slow Dancing is coming to town
We’ve got two words for you: Awesome and Free. And Awesome.
In what will surely turn more heads on a Friday night than those weirdos with the “Jesus will eat you!” signs (or whatever they say), an art installation called “Slow Dancing” is coming to Dickson Street this October.
The exhibit, created by photographer David Michalek, sounds pretty friggin’ cool if you ask me. 43 hi-def, super-slow-motion films of dancers and choreographers from around the world will be projected on three 12×24-foot screens on the front of the Walton Arts Center…meaning they’ll be visible to everyone in the vicinity…Jesus included.
By slowing down five seconds of dance movements (it takes 10 minutes to complete each five-second sequence), the films reveal what Wired’s Rebecca Milzoff calls “a rich world of hidden undulations, minuscule adjustments, and concealed strain…Eadweard Muybridge would have loved it.”
Fayetteville will be the fourth city that the exhibit visits in the United States after premiering in New York City’s Lincoln Center last July. It has since appeared in Los Angeles, Toronto, Venice and Hanover, New Hampshire.
