video shoot

Richert Schnorr is creating some video art for the project! About a week ago, he directed the first round of takes.
IT WAS A BLAST!!!

He is creating a sneak peak video which we will be posting and sending out prior to the show. He is also creating a video that will be shown before and after the show. AND, he is performing in the piece! We are excited to incorporate this element and his genius as part of the project.

Video coming soon... yeah.

what we have been up to : PART 2

notes and thoughts:

working with a confined space on the floor. I am not sure how i will confine myself? Confinement makes we wonder about both sides of the defined lines. What happens inside? outside of the them? closer/farther away?

patrolling. flashlights.

being confined to a specific area. confining something to a specific area. prisoner.
vast emptiness, confusion, disorientation, repetition.
lonely.

synopsis: she builds her own cell. she enters and exits it as she pleases. when she is inside her cell, she finds comfort in her loneliness. when she steps outside of it, she is disoriented, confused, short of breath, unable to exist without it. It repeats. The journey, her pattern, it remains the same. The external elements change. she doesn't.

to encompass all of the above research, I decided to repeat the same movement/spatial pattern three times, each time with a different prop and a different group of sounds. by doing so, i wanted to see how the varying themes within the piece influenced what i presented and what the audience received. Doing this, allowed me to try to conducted a real-time study of perception and perspective from my point of view as the performer as well as from the point of view of the viewers.

here is some of it:
