went last night with tara to see the infamous korean b-boys ... though the actual plot and execution of it were beyond... "lame" (the art snob in me could barely handle the lack of smooth transitions and beyond cheesy sub-plots and horrible multi-media work...) - the fact is... when the b-boys were popping or breaking... it was pretty much amazing...
and theres something beautiful about being in a theater on a tuesday night that is completely packed... for korea being a culture that is not immersed in hip hop... well the turnout wouldve put any breakin' event in mpls to shame... and to see ahjimas with their hands on the air... now that made the bad acting worth it...
---- as for the photos that ive posted... i dont know i have a thing for movement in a photograph... at first glance its just the blur... but then like so many things in life - if you look long enough you can find the point of origin solid as ever and teh motion fades to how a body moves the air...
i thought of my breaker friends and acquaintances in minneapolis and wish they could have seen when he spun on his head with a chair around his legs... and i thought how they would be encouraged to know that this show is basically sold out everyday and night of the week...
