Biomimcry & Dance

Posted by CreationEditor on March 25, 2009 at 9:30am
I always think in terms of video editing to create something that is a heightened reality because I have to squeeze real experience of movements and moments (space, soundscape, smells, 3D surround view) into a compressed framed 2D format.However, I want to keep my screendance close to life in its own movements because it is so close to our own bodily experience. No other form of editing or creation of video is so interested in how we actually physically feel about it. It is concerned and cares about the viewer, aims to translate to the audience the personal intimate experience of the dancer, dance and the spectators themselves. Video is also able to show and point out moments that we cannot see live but that are still there.This notion intrigues me very much but where do I look next...I always keep on looking at us, our human body, the dancer and the dance. However, I undertook a fantastic Butoh class with Lindsay John at Dancebase last week and his philosophy of looking at the world is really inspiring. During class he talked about a falling leaf he saw that landed over there and not over here and he wondered why it make this decision. Personally, I probably live 80% of my awake time in front of a screen, 10% training and the rest...not as much in my garden or just looking at nature as I wish.It relaxes me looking at my pets: my cockatiel does an incredible move where she brings her claw from behind her wing to the top of her head. My frog reminds me of our very basic, primal motions. In fact, my video about them is my most viewed clip on youtube!Shaky Froghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYhii81IUhMBut back to my train of thoughts on changing my perception on things. It is not enough to look at movements of nature but how does it feel and why. Referring to Janine Benyus in her presentation on "12 sustainable design ideas from nature": looking at a shell is not just pretty but ask why is it that way and the answer is: it is comfortable housing!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n77BfxnVlycOk, where I am going from here...I do not know but I like my starting point and happy to receive any feedback and comments about it. I am widening my horizon on not merely how does dance feel to us but how does nature feel about its patterns, structures and decisions. I expect the answers to be very pure, well reasoned and plausible but still intriguing and maybe even challenging.Wishes,Sabine Klaus Creation Editorhttp://creationeditor.co.uk/

Evolution

Posted by Deirdre Towers on April 25, 2008 at 11:30pm
Marlon & I have been debating the design of an on-line component to dance on camera. We've explored some names, such as dance on camera: mash-up or Mash-Up Mambo. We've wondered whether to make it a contest to be judged by editors, to tie it to specific scores or themes, to offer prizes or to set it up as something more timeless, something that could continue into perpetuity.Reading today that Charles Darwin would be 200 next year, I propose that we honor his theory of evolution. How to do this exactly? We could provide the "garden" of dance footage on-line and invite everyone to cross-pollinate.Designing this venture challenges everyone and simultaneously pushes the merits of honing an idea.We have a sponsor as of this afternoon.More soon.
