In ”enchantress,” Turkish filmmaker Volkan Ergen creates a mysterious, otherworldly landscape, submerging us as voyeurs in a secret ritual. Watch for magical duplicity, fractured movements, layered apparitions, and shifting focus. Enjoy!

Today’s video is from SALTS, a collaborative platform for Icelandic artist Ingi Jensson and German choreographer Heike Salze. strönd/strand is one of several site-specific dance films that were presented earlier this month as the installation project bekkur/bænk. I love this dance for its play with textures and detail–the grass and Saga Sigurðardóttir’s hair seem to do as much dancing as the dancers themselves.

This week’s featured video is “in the kitchen” by Alice Gosti. Although this is a single-shot, single-angle dance short, I find the use of private space in a public (at least online) performance to be quite compelling. “in the kitchen” is a great example of low-budget, spur-of-the-moment, improvisational videodance and is also one of several video posts in an ongoing webdance conversation called You’re Right Here. Visit the blog for the rest of the dialogue!
