Dance Your Ph.D. is a brand new concept for me and now I only want this type of video on my YouTube homepage. We can only imagine how much extra work is required to turn a dissertation into an interpretive dance, but wow are these results worth the creator’s hard work! Here’s more from Science:
Menário Costa, who has since transitioned from science into a career as a singer-songwriter under the name WELI, recorded an original song, Kangaroo Time, for the contest. He then recruited a score of dancer friends representing styles from urban to classical, ballet to Brazilian funk. “I wanted to showcase the diversity of kangaroo behavior, and the easiest way was to get the diversity of dance we already have. I didn’t choreograph them, they were just being themselves,” Menário Costa says. The only instruction? Do as the ’roos do. In other words, mingle with dancers of other styles and adjust your movements in response, gradually unifying into a group effort.
