Overview

The intention of this film was to explore movement flow. Specifically, the consequences of cutting, inserting, and patching an image of a movement flow into itself. For material, I chose sequences of a Contact Improvisation duet between two dancers who had a great appetite for extended flow. My task was to devise real-time editing techniques that could re-create a sense of flow while disrupting an already flowing dance. Each study uses a different improvisational score for real-time editing actions. The technology was 3/4" U-matic. While watching two monitor screens above me, I had to press the editing buttons (in and out) forcefully while standing up, making the activity a full-body interaction with my eyes.
