Watch Sad13’s (Speedy Ortiz’s Sadie Dupuis) New “Get a Yes” Video

Sad13 (aka Speedy Ortiz’s Sadie Dupuis) has shared a new video for “Get a Yes,” from her new LP Slugger. The clip, which doubles as a step-by-step guide to consent, was directed by Isabel Farrington, and features Dupuis and a cast of friends dancing as they illustrate the rules of consent. Watch it, and read Dupuis’ statement on the video, below. See her upcoming tour dates here.

I wanted to make a tribute to ’90s-style group dance videos, and my childhood friend Patsy Gay, who spends her days as a dance archivist, put together a sample reel of choreography using moves from Spice Girls, Aaliyah, Salt-N-Pepa, Janet Jackson, and Jordan Knight vids… plus Stephanie Tanner and Urkel. Isabel Farrington, who directed the video, styled it as a late-night TV infomercial about teaching the dos and don’ts of getting consent to dance with your partner. We filled the video with tons of our friends and shot it over a couple days at Silent Barn.
