Ohio State MFA Dance Project 'Behind Body' Explores Dance and the Human Experience in the Digital Era | The Lantern
Urban Art Space's Behind Body was recently featured in The Lantern.
From Clement Kasser for The Lantern:
"Urban Arts Space at Ohio State presents the brand-new project “Behind Body,” a combination of filmmaking and choreography put together by three dance students.
“Behind Body,” a dance film project, analyzes the digitalization of the world and of the body. Andi Pei, a Master of Fine Arts student in dance, said she created the project to look at what dance would look like in an entirely digital world.
Pei is part of the Master of Fine Arts cohort in the Department of Dance, which has been presenting various artworks throughout this semester. She set up “Behind Body” with two students, Gianna Buffano and Luyan Li, both third-years in dance, who she contacted last year pre-COVID about participating in her MFA project.
Pei learned Chinese dance growing up and later moved to contemporary dance. She also developed filmmaking skills over the years, and she said she used “Behind Body” to showcase her talent for interdisciplinary creation."
