Seeing with the body
ELEMENT Residency at Dance Nucleus January-June 2017
I'm delighted to be in residence at the Dance Nucleus (Singapore) focusing on video dance and video installation. Through my ongoing work in digital media and live performance, I am interested in engaging more deeply with the intersection of the physical, the relational and digital visuality. The availability of portable technology in urban environments has led to the ubiquity of the digital image in how we experience other human bodies as well as ourselves (in selfies) in entertainment and communication. In dance, the prevalence of youtube and reality TV may well have displaced live performance as the most populous medium for experiencing movement. For many people, this medium of digital appearance now plays an unavoidable role in how we see the human body and how we form human relationships.
Video Dance Reading Group
A public reading group on video dance. Every month, I propose a selection of readings and viewings for us to look at together, and discuss on the FB group as well as in person once a month in Singapore. In the "Files" section of the FB page you'll find an informal bibliography and filmography of things that I find useful or have been recommended to me - material from dance film, dance and improvisation, film theory, art films. The list also includes recommendations from members of this list.
