I think it is because it often reveals patterns that aren't seen with more normal views.... |
I just read articles in the NY Times, about a production of the opera "Medea" where there is a giant slanted mirror at the rear of the stage, which gives the audience a top-down view of the action, and about a dance company performance which simultaneously showed a video shot from above.
If you want to go way back, movie musicals choreographed by Busby Berkeley often showed elaborate ("kaleidoscopic") dance numbers from directly above. |
