A bright green low-rider was front and center of this Art Attack – generating a lot of curiosity and interest.
But it was an interactive and engaging rendition of “Macarena” that ended up stealing the show.
In the midst of Arts Goggle — one of Fort Worth’s premier art events — Barefoot Brigade delivered a performance worth watching.
Barefoot Brigade – a coalition for dance and performance art – passed out “Go” money to help promote WorthGoing.com and then its members put on a spontaneous show for the Arts Goggle patrons along Magnolia Avenue.
As the group got into the “Macarena” groove, Kerry Kreiman – founding member of the Barefoot Brigade – directed the performance by announcing fun and engaging themes.
“You’re stuck in glue.”
“You’re on the moon.”
“Freestyle!”
Kreiman – executive/artistic director of Contemporary Dance/Fort Worth – used a bullhorn to drowned out the stereo of the low-rider, which was the source of the “Macarena.”
She said she was happy with the performance.
“I think people had fun, and I think the car was perfect,” Kreiman said.
