Rehearsal 6 Between the Lines




Dancers:  Vicci Viles and Alice Moran
Two parallel lines provided the starting point for this investigation.  The lines were approximately 3 x 0.5metres which created a long, thin performance space.  This session threw up lots of different questions for me which I am still digesting:

  • Does movement have more 'value' when you can see less of it? 
  • What concerns need to be considered when choreographing for the disappearing body?
  • Does light help to highlight the skeletal system? (at moments in the material the clavicle, humerus and mandible all seem to be sharply defined)
  • Does light increase our visual perception of width and depth?
  • Do we perceive an increased sense of speed if a movement passes through structured light sources such as a beam or a column?
