I got a Master's Degree in this.
3 dancers; 15 min
Music: The Books, Dusty Springfield, Tyga, So Percussion, Queen
"I got a Master's Degree in this." explores a number of physical, musical, and spatial relationships, all while not trying to take itself too seriously. It features a solo, a two duets, and three trios which range from calm, to athletic, to rhythmic. "Master's Degree" asks what is dance? Why do we do it? Why do we love it? Why do we hate it? Is it so ridiculous to love something that simultaneously brings us up and tears us down?
