Among the multitudes
|
choreography: Shaked Dagan
dance: Monika Smekot camera/edit/sound: Monika Smekot WATCH THE VIDEO This material was recorded for a bigger project titled ‘Correspondance’ by Shaked Dagan (read more here). The title (‘Among the multitudes’/ 'W Zatrzęsieniu') and the text in the video is borrowed from one of my favourite Polish poet: Wisława Szymborska "I am who I am / A coincidence no less unthinkable than any other. (...) I might have been myself minus amazement,that is, someone completely different." |
Imagineering
|
concept/direction/edit: Monika Smekot
choreography & perforrmance: Iraya Noble music: 'Nine and Loose Ends' Geordie Little more... WATCH THE VIDEO Imaginneering is a short experiment with juxtaposing the movement of the body with the movement of the tree, floating ink, caterpillar and butterfly. The game of scale, gentle comparison and black and white contrast of the images ‘could’ convey the story of transformation in imagination. |
Portrait of Liva
|
concept / direction / camera / edit: Monika Smekot
performance: Liva Dudareva music: Gareth Griffiths WATCH THE VIDEO This film is inspired by my curiosity of people’s ways of moving (running, walking, dancing,). For two hours I have documented my friend (landscape architect) Liva Dudareva moving in the car park in Edinburgh, following her responses to the space and her imagination. The film is short documentation of spontaneous movement in particular time and space. |
