Reef-inspired Dance in Melbourne


When the first exhibition of the popular Melbourne Reef opened in October of 2010, the Institute For Figuring was thrilled to learn that the festivities included a 'Squid Dance', replete with ornate costumes and lively performers. Hailing from Belgrave South Primary School, the students 'swam' gracefully through the colorful Melbourne Reef. This video gives us an idea of the evening's celebration, an embodied tribute to the many moving organisms of the deep.
