More contemporary dance in music videos. Sweet article about it from The Independent. Brought to my attention by Steve Kolowich, friend and writer for Washington CityPaper Arts RoundUp.
Directors have now whittled the method to perfection. "Since the advent of MTV directors have needed to develop a visual language as well as an aural one," Spalding said. "What's interesting at the moment are the genuinely interesting collaborations between pop and dance which are making it to the stage. It's like any contemporary artists working alongside each other: they will tend to work with their friends. It's like when Diaghilev would commission Stravinsky. Maybe today he would think about Radiohead."
