Addiction

I wanted to share this video with you, the reader, for 2 reasons:

1) This is an incredibly moving performance and a great example of how art serves as a healing tool.
2) To support my statements and promotion regarding the show 'So You Think You Can Dance.'

Dance: Addiction
Dancers: Kayla & Kupono
Choreographer: Mia Michaels

Meaning: Kupono is the addiction and Kayla is the addict. This is a visual representation of the pervasive power of addiction and the hold it places upon those who are stuck in it. Kupono is the utter personification of evil as the addiction with his malevolent grins and piercing eyes. Kayla represents the completely addiction-ravaged girl that is so common in our society, held captive by the claws of her addiction.
