Choreo/cut/graphic –dance video takes place in miniverse. Dancer navigates through linear space-time occasionally encountering super perspective loops. The work do not refer to anything else but it´s own choreo/cut/graphic information.

Making

Choreo/cut/graphic -dance video was partly choreographed/improvised. I used different imaginary gravity fields (Namely storm, intense, light  gravity.)  to inspire the development of the movement language. There were certain poses which I used to start/end impro sequences. Those still position were used as -wide perspective- editing points.

Girilal Baars made the sound design which was edited to the picture later on. All filming/choreographing was done in silence. improvised dance and camera operation communication was done instinctively in real time.
