The Ultimate Video Dance EVER*
This is For Betsy Hall
Hope Hall, USA, 1999
The filmmaker made this memoir about her mother ’s struggles with an eating disorder, by using family photos, interviews, projected video and underwater footage. Not so much kinetic as moving.
Les Filles Follen
Tuixen Benet, Spain, 2009
Unabashedly low-tech, danced in a rehearsal studio, this is all one take. With high heels that could kill, these two zany cigarette girls clatter around in real time, and then in sped up footage. The message: GIVE US CIGARETTES – WE ARE PRETTY.
Improvisation at Pitman Theatre, Alverno College
Zachary Whittenburg, USA, 2009
This video utilizes Apple iMovie and the .3gp codec to create a once-removed documentation of a single-shot dance improvisation by Zachary Whittenburg.
Sell Out Demos
Lindsay Drury, USA, 2009
A deadpan how-to on the sell-out, complete with a self-important, pseudo-British voice-over on identity. Includes a fixed camera, masking-taped private parts, and Screamin’ Jay Hawkins singing “There’s Something Wrong with You!”
