Event Details
When we see dancers perform seemingly super-human leaps and bends, we often ask, "How do they do that?" The dancers of Soul Street exhibit ways in which the body accomplishes these feats—through combinations of bone, muscle, and commands from the brain! Demonstrating, with props and dance segments, skeletal features such as hinged joints and ball-and-socket joints, Soul Street shows how our bodies move. Tracing movements to their source, the dancers reveal how signals from the brain tell muscles to stretch or contract, allowing our bodies to move the way we want them to. Combine all this with a dance fantasy of how we might move if we had no bones, and you have a performance that must be seen to be believed!
