Many of the images in last year's "Beauty CULTure" exhibition at the Annenberg Space for Photography provoked discussion: the blank stare of a child beauty contestant, a pair of taught lips being poked with a surgeon's needle. The exhibition touched on issues of vanity, acceptance and self-worth. After catching the show, a handful of dancers from the urban dance collective Culture Shock L.A. were inspired to put their own spin on the concept. This Friday at the Ford Amphitheatre, they will premiere "BEauty," featuring their own work alongside contributions from contestants of "America's Best Dance Crew," guest MCs, and actress and Culture Shock L.A .board member Tamlyn Tomita.
