Dancers

Yesterday I heard about the dance performance called "The Trash Project" choreographed by Allison Orr.



Julia, this is the epitome of what you mean when you say that anyone could be considered a "dancer." In case the video doesn't work, sanitation workers from the Austin area are the performers here, using actual garbage trucks and movements that go into the work of daily life. Is this too literal an interpretation of "dance as life"? That is a question for those more knowledgeable about dance, however, watching the clips remind me of how exciting and thrilling it is to see big utility vehicles as a young child.
