Dancing Priddy


I saw a spectacular dance at SECCA this afternoon that will linger in my memory for a long, long time. The mud encrusted lace dress, a construction by artist Brooke Priddy, came to life as the dancer pictured here moved from stillness to freedom, from material to dust, from heavy to light.


I am in awe and happily unsteadied by what I saw performed.  The music that accompanied the performance fit the textured piece perfectly.
