Funk Lessons

Hey guys. Here's the video I captured of Adrian Piper's film "Funk Lessons". Hopefully this works. It's kind of dark but if the volume works you'll be able to see how the audience begins to interact with the footage during Piper's lessons (which may or may not have been a result of alcohol!).

I really like how there were subtitled messages flashing at one point in the video that cautioned, "Sexually Expressive."

In a lot of ways, Piper's "Funk Lessons" reminds me of the film classic, "Footloose."

Sex, Drugs and Alcohol traveled the road to our present-day culture. It seemed many were against it, and funk was a newly emerged medium for activists to dance, and escape the forces of cultural confinement.


This looked like a really interactive exhibit!

Is the volume working for you guys?

I had trouble hearing the video, even when I adjusted my volume settings.

Nevertheless, good picture quality!
