SPOONS

Thabo Rapoo is a dancer, choreographer, musician, and performing artist.

In this Considered 3 Minutes, Rapoo attempts to breathe life in to two spoons – to make them dance. He attempts to transfer his embodied energy into that of two inanimate objects and is surprised at the extent to which two wooden spoons can make him sweat. Rapoo cites the act of observation as a crucial factor to his creative process, as a result, much of his work is concerned with human nature – how we move, various forms of non-verbal communication, labour, exercise, fatigue, energy and play.
