"When I am drawing and painting to music I am dancing."

Caught in Paint is a wonderful six minute video highlighting the visual arts collaboration between the artist, Rita Blitt and the Parsons Dance Company. As Blitt creates an improvisational dance with paint on to a piece of clear Mylar, the Parsons dancers mirror her fluid gestures and flowing lines with their bodies, extending her gestural marks beyond the two dimensional surface of the picture plane. Check out more of her work at http://www.ritablitt.com/ or catch her latest exhibition "Fear of War, Courage to Hope ... While Dancing" at the Gallery of Art and Design at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg, MO on view until September 24, 2011.
