C R U S H
Nina Vroemen, Yukon, Dance, 4m
C R U S H is a dance video created by Nina Vroemen and
danced by Carly Woolner. The choreography is inspired
by the double or triple-entendre of the word “crush”
culminating in the inevitable eruption when something so
sweet becomes utterly intoxicating.
The painfully sweet beverage rolls along the body, shaking it
to the point of complete eruption.
