Made For TV: Dance In Television
from Frameform Hosted by Jen Ray, Clare Schweitzer, Hannah Weber
When televisions became a staple in households, early television shows celebrated the potential of dance as a communal celebration while introducing it to new audiences. Come the 2000s, TV dance competitions began to inundate the airwaves and shape the dance world as a whole. This week, the Frameform team examines the influence of dance-theme television shows on the culture at large and how they shape value systems for casual viewers both positively and negatively. The episode includes an interview with Mark Orsborn of the Jam Project discussing his experience performing on World of Dance and the forces behind the camera at play.
