JA Collective, a choreographic duo, performs a mesmerizing dance at TED 2024. Their performance blends fluid and abrupt movements, creating a hypnotic exploration of motion that alternates between tense and dreamlike states.

Anyone else remember when TED did interesting lectures?
What is the point is this?

TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) is a platform to share ideas. This performance seems unique, which if you’re like me, finding appreciation in something you don’t understand can broaden you notions of “art” or whatever is acceptable.

TED is getting too liberal with the “Talk” definition.

It’s artistic expression and something most people don’t see everyday. Take it easy killa, relax and enjoy the change of pace.

This reminds me of the kangaroo breakdance lady from aussie land.
None of this makes any sense at all, it’s just two dudes flapping around for 5 minutes.
