dear all:
this is interesting, Daniel, and after watching your "video chain" - I begin to
see what you meant, did you suggest this as an example of a "parkour in video"
as well as a collaborative/communal video-dance project?
If we now take into account the recent announcement by Dee Reynolds/Matthew
Reason (see below) of the issue of "PARTICIPATIONS', which focusses on possible
new directions in "social screen dance," how do you figure the audience into
such a scenario of parkouring video, say, in the stages of production outdoors
where passers-by could pass/cross-over into the dance? and how would an
internet audience participate in such parkour?
regards
Johannes Birringer

In an article that I published in TeDance, I briefly referred to an experience
of something that could be seen as a social engagement on choreographic chain...
"... in Move out loud (2008), ideated by Filipe Viegas and Brahim Sourny, and
featured at the last edition of Alkantara Festival, in Lisbon. Move out loud
develops within the logic of an enlarged collaboration based on procedures
resembling the building of a surrealist cadavre exquis, using, in this case,
the potential offered by the Internet. The outcome is a chain of human motion
capable of crossing frontiers, languages, religions, and socioeconomic
differences. "
As teacher of "Dance and Multimedia" I usually challenge first year students
into a similar process: each group has to follow the previous clip. If you have
time, take a look at http://www.viddler.com/explore/tercius/videos/2/
