THREE CHOREOGRAPHIC SKETCHES 2001
8'30''.
SEE AN EXTRACT OF THE VIDEO HERE / 3 ESQUISSES CHOREGRAPHIQUES
Three choreographic sketches is composed of three movements wich take the subtitles of Claude Debussy's composition "La mer " from 1905. It shows a group of people doing taî chi. I decided to add a choreographic dimention to it using a digital effect wich divides the image in two symmetrical parts like in the Béjart "sacre du printemps" choreography and the aesthetic of the hollywoodian musicals. The result is a spontaneous generation of bodies from the center of the image to the edges which get out of the middle in a sensual movement. There is a contemplative and meditative dimension in that video which made echoes to the sensuality of Taî chi. |
