February 4TH 2015

I am seeking to acknowledge the early minimalism of low budget, no gear, merely using the camera as an outside eye, a way to inhabit someones brain with choreography through an abstract use of bodies, in a manner that allows for wildly imaginative uses of time and space - in a way that a proscenium makes impossible, or improbable. 

I foremost acknowledge the form of the body, and the relationship to the space around it. I want to create environments that challenge the visual perception of the audience, the patience, the concepts of time we each naturally feel as a rhythm throughout our days. 

My work with dance on camera is ever-evolving. How should I present it? Online? In a festival? In a gallery? How should I create it? A moving camera? An effort to capture the the way that air passes  by a body as it moves? Or keeping the eye stationary and fixed, as if an audience member is watching from a fixed vantage point? All is interesting to me, depending on the subject matter, but it is always a question -  always a search.
