Enter the Shabu
Toronto B-Girl Movement documents their trip to New York City for the Queen B-Girl competition By Emma KersonThis fun travel video, ENTER THE SHABU, by Caerina Abrenica follows four members of the Toronto’s B-Girl Movement as they head to the Big Apple for the second annual Queen B-Girl competition at the EXPG Studio. The all-female competition includes one-on-one bgirl battles and an all-female, all-styles cypher battle. According to the Queen B-Girl, they are “for B-Girls, by B-Girls.”
The intrepid Canadian bgirls head to New York City for a sense of adventure, their first chance to visit the city (for some) and a chance to bug out. Through the lens of this personal video, we get a taste of the city, the culture and the food. But it’s hard to be a tourist for too long before the energy of the city takes over and gets them dancing.

Collective Copyright
As dance artists navigate projects and performances, they encounter differing ideas of authorship. The evolving relationship between artists and digital media sharing have also shaped how these concepts are understood. Slinger spoke with several contemporary dance artists about their understandings of ownership, authorship and the role of intellectual property in their art-making processes. She also weighs in with Carys Craig, a scholar of intellectual property, who argues that the legal system imposes binaries, such as choreographer/performer or work/performance, on creative work that do not speak to how dance is created, performed and shared.
