features adelina larsson dancing.

shot in a black box studio as an exercise in handheld filming, relationship between camera and dancer, and editing to create the choreography.

this is already available on cribrosa but i like it so much i wanted to post it here as well.

images from a performance Adelina and I did at Precipice a couple of months ago.

Taut is a short dance film I made towards the end of 2007.

It was a re-edit of a longer draft work I had made in the middle of 2007 and was featured as part of the Dance Screen event at the Sydney Festival in Jan 2008 and then followed on as part of Danceflicks at Dancehouse (Melbourne) in May 2008.

I think I actually prefer the longer work and will upload it soon.

please excuse the terrible buzz. not sure why that’s there.

this is a short performance by Adelina Larsson and I at Precipice early last weekend.

shot in HD on a Sony HDR-SR12, so should be available as HD (always nice to have a first).

Music: “Gay sons of lesbian mothers” by Kaki King.
Camera: Peter Trotman

this is Ready

it looks so much better on vimeo than youtube.

video footage taken by John Corbet. performance was part of the little con Feb 29 7pm - 9pm at Dancehouse, Melbourne.

the evening was heavily timetabled for the 2 hours with 30 or so dancers each getting various arbitrary durations in various locations. the audience and performers were free to move the boxes around and reconfigure the space.

this was a 5 minute spot missing the first minute, which was mostly just moving boxes around.

[edit]this is my first upload to vimeo and was done via the tumblr interface. all went fine, no problems. when i went to the vimeo site i realised that the lack of context means i should be naming more in the video and adding better tags - because these come from the tumblr side of things.

so, for further clarity, the dancers are Jacob Lehrer and myself, David Corbet. if you’re reading this on vimeo, then you can find my tumblelog at:
