mal-dis-tri-bu-tion – Scott Benzel
mal-dis-tri-bu-tion
n. Faulty distribution or apportionment, as of resources, over an area or among a group. Maldistribution is a term generally applied to economic disparity: It most often refers to
the inequal distribution of resources or capital.
It is a term that also suggests ‘bad’ distribution- a common complaint of producers of cultural artifacts: records, films, mass-produced objects. In this context, it refers to a lack of wide commercial availability of a specific product, usually through the fault of the distributor. Maldistribution has poor consequences for mass-produced objects and good consequences for their opposite in the realm of distribution: objects of art.

MGM Grand: NUT
NUT is structured like a nut: a fruit with a skin, meat, and a seed. NUT speaks to our relationship with dance, as practice and as a discipline. NUT is MGM’s first dance created during the winter months. It questions the aesthetics of produced dance, and how it is expected to affect an audience and a venue. NUT takes cues from diverse performance cultures and historical influences such as Motown, elements of the mid-90’s NYC dance improvisation scene and Tommy DeFrantz's dance class for undergraduates at MIT.
