Description
Mikhail Baryshnikov and White Oak Dance Project perform "Waiting for the Sunrise". Filmed by Metro TV, the visuals begin after the dance piece has begun and many sections are cut short or begin abruptly. The overhead angle affords fine close-ups on facial expression but excludes other performers who fall out of frame. Time code runs throughout. The audience reacts enthusiastically to the 'Knife Dance' section, particularly cheering Rob Besserer.
