Bobinetting

Erin Jonhson and I are working on a new piece called "Bobinetting" for the ZERO1 Biennial in San Jose this January. More information to come soon, but until then: 

Bobinetting is the contemporary appropriation of an anachronistic feminist device. In 1832 French ballerina Marie Taglioni dawned the first tutu to dance the ballet La Sylphide. The tutu is made of tulle, light fabric that consists of strong hexagonal stitching. The light and strong makeup of the dancing skirt allowed for Taglioni to move around the stage more freely and to jump as high as her male counterparts. Since the nineteenth century the tutu and its characteristic tulle technology has become the iconographic symbol of the female ballerina as sexual object. Bobinetting explores the way that technological prosthesis can simultaneously empower and objectify the body. What is technology and what does it do to our identity? This performance is a new media artwork for which tulle is a movement sensor. By way of stripping digital devices from the performance environment we focus on the physicality of the human body as it has always interacted with objects. During a time when new media devices are often staged as trendy fetish objects, we take away the devices to think metaphorically and historically about bodies, movement sensors, and prosthetics. Bobbinetting is a prosthetic dance between tulle netting and human agent.

Submissions for POOL are still possible until July, 14th on

www.pool-festival.de

POOL is a recurring format for dance- and animation-film. The aim is to create a platform for dancers, choreographers, directors, artists, organizers and other interested people. POOL offers space for a mutual exchange of experiences, developing and advanced training, and presentations prospects. It`s a platform for those kinds of films, which picture dance not as a simple documentation, but more as a creative piece of art, using cuts and several other techniques for creation. We also like films which include every kind of non-dance movement in choreography. Moreover biographies of creators are less important or whether it`s a high or low budget film.

 

Screening: 13th-16th september 2012 at Dock11, Berlin

Workshops: 3rd-23rd september 2012 at Eden*****, Berlin

Imagery as starting or ending point

Tonight I will perform at St. Marks Church in Dagmar Spain's YELLOW IS NOT GOLD. Will I be able to replace moments in the piece that feel amorphous with those that feel potent and compelling?  Daniel Nagrin once advised his choreographic students never to verbally share the basic impulse for your choreography, save the urge to share through your dance. Guard it as your secret.  Lacking the toolbox of final cut pro to shape/morph/frame that image, I'm left to bumbling around in the dark room of my mind. With a video dance, one could simply show the idea, find it or create it, manipulate it. But for a live dance, the image is the impulse behind the choice of speed, shape, flow, a guide perhaps for the improvisation.

Perhaps awareness of physical sensations triggers thoughts which conjures images..

The altered state of dancing can interfere with clear thinking on how to transfer that pleasure, that escape from the daily norm, to the viewer. How does one dance to heat the blood in the viewer, make them feel their breath in a singular way.  Lifting one's eyelids up for the metaphorical kiss.

Archived'it goes live!

12249538658?profile=original

Welcome to Archived'it

 

Launch Date: 12th June 2012 at Midday archivedit.org

Back in summer 2011 I pitched the idea of working with Dartington Hall Trust’s Archive Collection to create a web application that would encourage an online audience to engage with the archive creatively. A year on, and with the help of filmmaker Alice Powell, web developer Luke Shumard and composer Ólafur Arnalds, Archived’it is finally here!

We’ve been working with a silent black and white piece of archive footage titled ‘Dance on Steps’ (1934). The film features the enchanting dance and mime student Teda de Moor performing angular and bound movement, swaying back and forth as she progresses up constructed stairs on a stage. Cutting in at just under a minute we set ourselves the task of giving ‘Dance on Steps’ a new lease of life.

I taught myself Teda de Moor’s movement, played around with reacting to it as if she were in the studio with me then created my own choreographic response. Alice filmed the material in a green room then incorporated my response into the original footage.

How it works

The HTML5 web application allows the user to create their own version of ‘Dance on Steps’ using the remixed content. Using a + interface concept, Archived'it has been created purely from open source technology. Ólafur’s music will automatically attach itself to your film; so it’s up to you how much of the track you use.

The idea is once arranged to your liking, save and share!

One response to digitised archive

Jaron Lanier states in his inspired book ‘You Are Not A Gadget’ (2011)

Ironically, advertising is now singled out as the only form of expression meriting genuine commercial protection in the new world to come. Any other form of expression is to be remashed, anonymized, and decontextualized to the point of meaninglessness

I’d like to think with Archived’it we have been able to find one way of ‘remashing’ with meaning. We have taken a piece of incomplete archive footage, the author lost to time, and deconstructed/re-imagined the 55 seconds of content into an artistic statement that has not only been informed by the past but responds to a digital future.
