PAINT DANCING!

After a bit of searching I have finally come across something with similar components to the "Perf-Art" project that Dom and I are working on.

It's a bunch of people getting groovy to some tunes and painting to show how freaking good they're feeling!

www.paintdancing.com -> GOOO!

The painting's are not of anything, they're just paint on paper, but... it's still a beautiful form of artwork if you ask me.

The people are just allowing themselves to feel.

And apparently this Paint Dancing has taken off in the US! It started off in the creator's (Matt Jones') studio, and now people can host Paint Dancing events, and from the videos I've seen, they're damn well attended too.




Obviously there are quite a few differences between Paint Dancing and Perf-Art, but the concept is similar.

The obvious differences are;
-The artists who take part in Paint Dancing are simply standing and dancing (however I suppose there are a few exceptions, a few awesome crazy ones letting loose!) and painting on paper, whereas with Perf-Art the artist is within a closed space, and paints on the cubicle surrounding them, and MOVES! Perf-Art is a performance as well as an artwork in the making.

-If you were to Paint Dance, you would be surrounded by other people all taking part in the artwork with you. In Perf-Art, the artist is alone to deal only with their own emotions and expressions.

-The final artworks of Paint Dancing are not designed to be a final artwork put on display and exhibited to the public. It could be done, but the main point of Paint Dancing is the dancing, however Perf-Art is focused on the creating of the art, but with a definite plan of exhibiting the finished physical expression to whoever is interested.

I WANT TO PAINT DANCE!!
