Apologies for cross postings!



MOVESTREAM ONLINE SCREENDANCE PROJECT | AUTOPSY


Autopsy: (a.) Personal observation or examination; seeing with one's own eyes; 
ocular view.

Antonin Artaud believed that "for every emotion there is a breath and for every 
breath there is an emotion. Starting with your breathing and a very personal 
moment in your life, choreograph a short movement phrase that best translates 
and evokes the emotion at that time. 

Choose one basic emotion and stick with that. According to Susana Bloch there 
are 6 basic emotions: anger, fear, sadness, happiness, erotic love and 
tenderness. Choose one of these and create the solo. 

Then shoot a 3min, not longer or shorter, video dance. Criteria: No location. 
White wall behind you. No "costume". One spoken sentence or phrase. Use a 
variety of different shots - ECU, CU, WS. No tripod. Use one or two shots where 
YOU shoot YOURSELF. One improvised shot. Edit in camera ie. just shoot a short 
phrase hit pause, then shoot again. Create a storyboard. Plan your shoot. Get 
someone to help you. Use simple or natural light. Record the diegetic (found) 
sound. No music. 

I would like to create a long annotated video for MoveStream out of all the 
videos you submit. It forms part of my research: Bending Cinema | emotional and 
kinaesthetic amplification of the authentic and digitalised body in online 
screendance. 

UPLOAD (as many as you wish) onto You Tube Move, entitled: MoveStream autopsy 
|........(and the emotion), making it private See options when you upload.  

THEN email movestream@xxxxxxxxx the You Tube link, 50 word synopsis, name and 
contact details. By doing this you also permit me to use your footage. This is 
also part of a larger project that I am looking to get funds for.  

Get your entry in by end of September. Any questions, write to me at 
movestream@xxxxxxxxx
Good luck! Enjoy.
