ID: This short video opens to a split screen, with black and red sections on the left, with black on the right and the text “Ready Dance Youth Project: Inclusive and accessible”. Wide doors open into a brightly lit community centre dance studio with several dancers standing together. The remainder of the video consists of vignettes of different dancers interacting in the studio: a few dancers surround another, all holding pieces of brown paper overhead; someone tears a large piece of brown paper; several dancers change places; a dancer jumps up and down, patty-caking their hands out forward; two dancers, connected with their arms, swirl around one another and release; a dancer lays on their back on the floor, holding a small snare drum; 4 or 5 dancers are all stretching in unison; a dancer turns around while focusing on their hands; several dancers on the floor, drawing with markers while someone plays an acoustic guitar in the background; closeup of someone hitting a small mallet against a pipe; three dancers are stretching their arms up high and wide; one and then another dancer sitting in the studio, talking expressively with their hands; a group of 9 dancers pose for the camera: sitting, standing, crouching, some holding crumpled white paper.
