I am in New York until tomorrow morning working on Waterpod™ Project with Mary Mattingly. Also for anyone in the Manhattan neighbour hood, I will be a small feature in David Michalek's Slow Dance project at the Lincoln Center starting Sunday July 10 - 29, 9pm to 1am nightly. The footage which was recorded earlier this year is stunning.
"Lincoln Center Festival presents the world premiere of Slow Dancing, an outdoor, multi-channel video installation of hyper-slow-motion video portraits projected nightly on the facade of the New York State Theater. This free installation captures the beauty of the body in motion, depicting movement of dance icons that include Trisha Brown, Wu Hsing-Kuo, Wendy Whelan, Shen Wei, Eiko and Koma, William Forsythe, Judith Jamison, and Bill T. Jones, astonishingly captured at 1,000 frames per second. The installation consists of an ever-changing trio of dancers, each over 40 feet tall. Over each 10 minute cycle, what at first appears to be a series of “still” photographs unfolds, gesture by barely-perceptible gesture, into an elaborate choreography, with the viewer allowed to choose to focus on one dancer’s complete “performance” or observe the interplay between the three. This awe-inspiring digital installation will run nightly during the Lincoln Center Festival, from 9:00pm until 1:00am."
