Rize up


"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up" - MLK

how do we define a language?
We use language as a way to communicate with one another. In the movie Rize, dance is their language.  In the south side of L.A. where violence is an every day occurance, Tommy the clown chose to create a new form of language. The language of Krump.

how do we define art?
In today's society anything is can be considered art, it's all in the eye of the beholder. Tommy and his gang of clowns used the art of dance as a way to release their anger. "this is how we express ourselves, this is what makes us feel like we belong." - dragon


how does this relate to me?
Like the clowns i too use many different forms of communication when communicating with different people. The clowns use dance a a form of art to express themselves, while i use photography as a way to make me feel like i belong.
