Glo-Mo: Designing a High Tech Dance “To me, the lights were artwork of themselves. There were the dancers dancing under art, with art on their bodies, so it just brought the whole picture together,” said Danielle Sampson, a dance teacher at Grand Center Arts Academy. I attend Grand Center Arts Academy, a school for the fine arts that goes from 6th-12th grade. Our dance department was recruited by The Pulitzer, a modern art gallery in St. Louis, to dance around a new art installation, Lots. Lots is a big metal cage-like structure with white sheets that flowed in the wind. “I think the dance was made for the lights, because if you were watching it without the lights then it looks kind of boring, but the lights totally made it a cool hypnotic effect,” says Brianna Ford, a tenth grader who was in the dance. To start with, I had a meeting with the dance teachers who choreographed the dance to the song I Remember, by deadmau5. After the Pulitzer performance, the group performed two more times.
