PROGRAMME
ON DEMAND Smudge 2020 5.20 min Pepper O’bomsawin, Director Barbara Kaneratonni Diabo, Choreographer Part of Live Q&A
Two generations, the past and future. The strength of tradition, the isolation of the contemporary world. Joined by blood, joined by Earth. Can this connection overcome the emptiness?
Hands On 2018 15 min Marites Carino, Director Part of Live Q&A Read Bárbara Janicas’ review here
Capturing candid, real-time ‘blind hand dates’, this intimate project takes society’s accepted form of first contact between strangers, the handshake, and twists it into a tactile choreography.
The Man Who Traveled Nowhere in Time 2019 5 min Vincent René-Lortie, Director Kyra Jean Green, Choreographer Part of Live Q&A
A young man who sees the world around him evolve, transform and grow, but he never changes, unaware that he only exists in the dreams and unconscious of others.
Hiatus 2018 6:54 min Priscilla Guy, Director
Facing a camera, the micromovements of twenty people’s faces are revealed through the time-compressed effects of recorded imagery.
ON DEMAND Hall of Frames 2020 6:51 min Do Phan Hoi, Director Charles Brecard, Choreographer
Of all, three things remained: the certainty that everything was beginning; the certainty that we had to continue; and the certainty that it would be interrupted before it was finished.
Drawing Blank 2013 5:32 min Stefan Verna, Director Emily Honnegger, Choreographer Part of Live Q&A
In a dream-like story of impermanence, a miniature dance partner comes to life and inspires movement in the paper and ink world around her.
Vanishing Points 2016 6 min Marites Carino, Director Tentacle Tribe, Choreographers Also part of Live Q&A
Sucked into a choreographic chain, two conceptual hip-hop dancers cross paths, collide and share fleeting moments of intimate synchronicity.
Bleeding and Burning 2017 2:45 min Guillaume Marin, Director
An orbit of red and black. Coordinated by the assembly to reach a new galaxy. No dancing, no editing, nor collage. Meeting of the human and the form in pareidolia?
Jontae 2020 7:42 min Siam Obregón, Director Kyana Lyne, Choreographer Part of Live Q&A
Faced by the global pandemic and reawakening of racism, a performer dedicates a moment for personal catharsis through movement.
Twitch 2014 5 min Jules de Niverville, Director Mike Watts, Choreographer Part of Live Q&A
An ode to overcoming dark energies that lie within – the embodiment of conflicting energy.
