Wearable Performance Piece

Description

In this exercise, you will create a wearable performance piece that helps you recreate a popular meme dance in a new way.  

Instructions

Using basic prototyping materials, create a body attachment that moves.  Your performance piece should reinterpret the dance move of your choice and generate movement in a specific, intentional way.  

A few ideas to get you going: your attachment may act as an extra arm or leg, simulate another person dancing alongside you, or maybe help you combine two dance moves into one.  Tap into your inner choreographer/ youtube star and get grooving!  

Deliverables

Shoot a video / GIF and post your performance piece as a blog post with a description of how it works and what dance it enhances.
