ART-OFF DANCE-OFF is a House Music inspired competitive live-art event and cooperative performance. Every participant and guest of the event has opportunities to involve themselves in this creative process by means of presence, vibration, movement, color, marking, sculpting and through the power of touch and word.
ART-OFF This month is a live body-art competition. Featuring two, 40 minute rounds of 6-12 talented and aspiring local artists working by applying color to a live model/movement partner, the result of the body-paint shares emotive energy with the movement the partners make as they create together, one as canvas, the other as brush. Models will parade after DO, crowd votes with tickets in donation tins (1 per round).
DANCE-OFF On stage during the body art, Dance-Off will be hosted by Mushroom Monroe cued up by DJs EMVEE & GABSTOP. It is a House based, freestyle interpretative dance competition. Each round will begin with a featured interpretative dance performance, followed by open sign-ups for dancers who think their freestyle moves can impress our VIP judges.
Each Dance-Off round will be voted on by the VIP judges panel and averaged by the MissSavvy Algorithmic HotNess Indexing Device
Winners of each round of Dance-Off will have up to 3 minutes of freestyle dancing to win over the panel.
Winners of each Live-Art round will compete in THREE-WAY SHOWDOWN 40 minute BOSS LEVEL fight vs Rachel DeBoer / La Femme Rikita – Voting by crowd noise.
