Kenichi Ebina: Self-taught Hip Hop Master at TED Talks
If you’ve not ever gone to the Technology, Education, & Design site and looked at some of their presentations and performances, you’re really missing out on some very nice stuff. I’ve posted about the Pilobolus performance before, and this is also where I first heard about Al Gore’s slideshow and saw the first touch-screen interface (and yes, I do still want an iPhone…)
I’m very happy to say TED got in touch with me, thinking that this blog would be a good place to share this with you:
Kenichi Ebina appears to defy the limits imposed by the human skeleton. He combines breakdancing and hip-hop with mime using movements that are simultaneously precise and fluid. In addition to the playful choreography, on exhibit here are Kenichi’s remarkable strength and agility as he first appears to be manipulated by a string, then plays with a beam of light, and ends the piece as an energetic hip-hop-dancing robot who expires as he loses his power source.
