THE WORST OF THE BEST On June 2, Kinetic Cinema will feature dance films selected by choreographer Kriota Willberg. The theme of the evening is The Worst of the Best, a tour of inspiringly bad dance films from the early 1900’s to the present. Truly awful dance is powerful art. We react strongly to it as an audience, we relate our horrible experiences to our friends and warn them away from it, we laugh, we seethe, we remember it far longer than “good” dance, and possibly longer than “great” dance. Join us for film and discussion as we chase that ethereal muse, Badness, through the work of generations of dance film artists.

"Willberg makes, you know, dancing musical, interesting, slyly funky, nicely structured." Deborah Jowitt, The Village Voice "Willberg's simple movement is endlessly inventive and her choreographic craft is mature, her dances continually engage the eye. Only at the end does their humor become apparent after a few moments of staring openmouthed at the dancers, I burst into giggles I couldn't stop." Terry Brennan, Chicago Reader "Kriota's knowledge of the body, as an anatomist, dancer and yoga practitioner make the perfect blend She is inspiring, humorous and an excellent facilitator. I can't wait to return next year for more on-going study." Cheryl Catranbone, owner of Golden OM Yoga "Dem' Bones Dem' Bones," Main Street Gazette, July/August 2003 |
