MOVESTREAM ONLINE SCREENDANCE PROJECT | AUTOPSY
Autopsy: (a.) Personal observation or examination; seeing with one's own
eyes; ocular view.
Antonin Artaud believed that "for every emotion there is a breath and for
every breath there is an emotion. Starting with your breathing and a very
personal moment in your life, choreograph a short movement phrase that best
translates and evokes the emotion at that time.
Choose one basic emotion and stick with that. According to Susana Bloch
there are 6 basic emotions: anger, fear, sadness, happiness, erotic love and
tenderness. Choose one of these and create the solo.
Then shoot a 3min, not longer or shorter, video dance. Criteria: No
location. White wall behind you. No "costume". One spoken sentence or
phrase. Use a variety of different shots - ECU, CU, WS. No tripod. Use one
or two shots where YOU shoot YOURSELF. One improvised shot. Edit in camera
ie. just shoot a short phrase hit pause, then shoot again. Create a
storyboard. Plan your shoot. Get someone to help you. Use simple or natural
light. Record the diegetic (found) sound. No music.
I would like to create a long annotated video for MoveStream out of all the
videos you submit. It forms part of my research: Bending Cinema | emotional
and kinaesthetic amplification of the authentic and digitalised body in
online screendance.
UPLOAD (as many as you wish) onto You Tube Move, entitled: MoveStream
autopsy |........(and the emotion), making it private See options when you
upload.
THEN email [log in to unmask] the You Tube link, 50 word synopsis, name
and contact details. By doing this you also permit me to use your footage.
This is also part of a larger project that I am looking to get funds for.
Get your entry in by end of September. Any questions, write to me at
