Game Recognizes Game

Artists are Athletes. Athletes are Artists. Ep. 2

Carolina Performing Arts

Game Recognize Game

Artists are Athletes and Athletes are Artists — on the soccer pitch, too.

The video stars UNC midfielder Sam Meza and tap dance trailblazer Michelle Dorrance, daughter of legendary UNC Women’s Soccer coach Anson Dorrance. Dizzying footwork and percussive kicks are set to an original score created in collaboration with Dorrance herself, including tap beats and sounds straight from the soccer field.

The video is the second installment of the campaign, which launched last January with a collaboration between UNC Men’s Basketball and the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.
