Dance Art For Those with Short Attention Spans (D.A.F.T. S.A.S.S.) is a series of 1 to 2 minute dances designed to be performing art commercial breaks. D.A.F.T. S.A.S.S. sums up life, love, and death in under ten minutes for those who love dance, but might suffer from a little ADHD.
How does one interpret the major questions of life in such a short time?
The answer is simple, Idioms. They say all that needs to be said about the trials and tribulations of life in very simple wording.
At first you are "finding your feet", then you are " learning the ropes". Just when you think you have it " in the bag," you fall" head over heels." Life goes too fast, and next thing you know you "kick the bucket." BodiGram plans to breathe a little life into these hackeneyed expressions through interpretive dance. That's right, bag dancing, bucket kicking, rope pulling pas de deux, and feet finding will happen for 60 to 120 seconds a piece.
D.A.F.T. S.A.S.S. is a multi- media piece, including film projection, music, and movement. It's a choreographic experiment to make profound art in 60 to 130 seconds. It's a challenge in simplicity, and social experiment in audience focus. In this time of instant screen clicking gratification, do we need to make art that doesn't require long periods of concentration?
