Dancing, singing, humming, and Whirring

So I feel like I would absolutely love this kind of artwork, kinetic. It seems like it would be perfect for actors in the sense that we are observant and take in the details, maybe not of inatimate objects, but it's good practice. We actually have to use all of our senses and do what our impulses tell us when watching the art of Trimpin, which to me, seems amazing. "Trimpin's work explores unique and contemporary integration of sound, space, and movement," which is EXACTLY what we theater majors are working on in our first year in Acting. I love it!
This seems to me more of an artist profile than the one on Paul Boal. It describes in detail his work, has quotes by him INSIDE the article, and I hear his name more often than his influences' names :-). This was an easy read into a form of art I didn't know existed, but now would love to see.
