Flawless

September 4, 2015 Jenny Espino

"Flawless" is a dance performance piece about gender and sexuality choreographed for pre-professional dancers ranging in age from 13-17. We asked some of them to describe the piece and its development in their own words. The piece itself begins about ten minutes in.

Music: Beyonce (featuring Nicki Minaj)
Choreography: Jenny Espino
Video editing: Aaron Garcia

Update: Not long after posting, this video was blocked due to use of copyrighted material. We do ponder what the artists (all of them feminists) might think about their label preventing their song from being used in a dance piece meant to empower young women, but the most important thing is that you, the reader, be able to view the dance itself. For that reason, we have removed the copyrighted audio. The song can be heard here.

Red Wedge relies on you! If you liked this piece then please consider donating to our annual fund drive!
