dear friends,
i keep thinking about an idea that Sergei mentioned once about how to collaborate painting and performance.
i have an image about the performers body used as a background or landscape for painting.
as the body moves the painting on the body evokes so many differents shapes. i have already tried it and made a little film animation using this idea but im wondering how can it work on stage, if it is possible?
if someone has any suggestion please let me know
I am a painter who is in love with Dance. During the last years dance is my main inspiration and research theme in art - Dance on the canvas, Dance on the tip of a paintbrush... I am very interested to develop a conversation with dancers and choreographers about the dance creation process.
Where do you see the beginning of dance?...
Is is possible to catch the moments of dance?...
Very interesting theme. I think dance is the best way to touch our soul. I am actriz (physical theater and theater dance), but dance is my territory. I love paint too, and when I paint (actually I am preparing a canvas about dance) I feel that I have to catch that moment full of meaning, when the body is in the middle between to go and to come, it is a suspend moment, and every body who has this cuality is dancing.
Take into account your question, Jackie, for me the dance begin when a simple movement become important because it is full of meaning shoot in every directions through the space and time.
Hello Evelyn!
How interesting! I think that when the actor is entering the world of physical theater and dance theater, he acquires a very special feeling of the space, time and music, a very special feeling of partners on the stage. Eventually this way we become very sensitive and versatile performers. This theme intererests me a lot today on stage.
Evelyn, do you have any links to your works on canvas? any pictures or video?
It sounds very inspiring.
