f you dance and you move to
solicit gazes. Then that’s not
dancing. That is showing off it’s advertising.
You are a knock off of the
real thing. Disguised by
the medium but not by the
intent. No matter how supple
you are or how practiced you are.
If you are not in it, then you are
for sale.
Dancing has over the years become
the victim of commercialisation.
TikTok girls and the boys practicing
their own version of an algorythmic
military march. Step in line and
your conformity will be paid for
in ‘likes’.
The music industry has

Open music video for defying the

outward effects. Only the present.
Answering to no one. A true
masterpiece in motion. Authentic.
Original. True.
You can tell a piece of art (in any
medium) made for an audience
compared to a piece brought into
existence from a truth, and when
you see it, you will know. And when
you do - hold onto the moment, use
it as a door to look inside; see how
rich the world is without trends,
without egos. Without advertising.
