With Spring 2020 performances canceled and in-person dancing abruptly halted, the dancers at WashU found a way to connect in spite of being socially distanced all summer. Their version of an “exquisite corpse”—or, perhaps more aptly, an “exquisite corps”—is based on the Surrealist concept of artists collaboratively creating a chain of dances without knowing what came before. This short film features students, alumni, and faculty dancing apart…yet together.
