This video contains a choreographed modern dance piece that was created for an undergraduate thesis exploring the use of dance to relay information about historical events. The creators of the piece hope to “translate iconic and propagandist artwork from the time period of the Space Race, into a form that we most closely understand and may be more relevant for a wider audience.” By using artwork from this era as their inspiration, they attempt to evoke an emotional response in the audience beyond the memorization of facts while revitalizing this art form and building a bridge between artists and historians.
