Though the channels are separate, the left channel\u2019s black figure masks the separating line, making it appear that the two channels\u00a0are merged.<\/p>\n *What if the two\u00a0channels were always touching?<\/em><\/p>\n **Just got an image of shots skimming along the ground\/water\/whatever\u00a0moving toward each other (L channel shot moving to the right, R channel moving to the left), two dancers walk slowly at each other from either side of the stage, to meet in the middle, but in some unexpected\/abrupt\/sharp way? <\/em><\/p>\n ***Will the usage of film be effective without use of people? I have to restrict it to that because of\u00a0timeline (I don\u2019t have time to take footage of both myself and my partner in the right environment, make a film out of it, set choreography to it, AND write a paper). BUT, epiphany!<\/em><\/p>\n This performance is about acting out internal space, internal forces, momentum. Not having people on the screen will lessen the temptation to narrative-ize the footage,\u00a0privileging it,\u00a0reducing the competitive nature between the two mediums, while at the same time allowing the footage to augment the dance, making visible internal abstract force.\u00a0The footage is a projection (hah!) of the internal spatial\u00a0narrative, and that narrative is increasingly digital.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Wow.\u00a0Inspiration can come from things you don\u2019t like.<\/p>\n See more parts of the full story at <\/em>http:\/\/honestmovement.tumblr.com\/<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" See the short Sylvie Guillem video to which the following discussion refers and\u00a0the post’s\u00a0full form here.
