This projection event returns to the exploration begun with Flickers of Movement. Enquiries into the relationship and exchanges of dialogue that occur when dance/movement and the projected image are brought/thrown together within the performance/projection space will be made in an attempt to collapse both spaces into one unified whole.

Performers:

Brendan O'Connor

New to Australia, O'Connor brings with him a distinctive European style of dance that is much sought after. Trained at the Fontys Dans Academie in the Nederlands, O'Connor has been dancing for the last nine years and has had success performing professionally with a well-known touring dance company from the UK. Success for O'Connor has also been gained with his choreography of sharp crisp movement that explore a multi-dimension of edges other choreographers of his age miss.

Jonathan Sinatra

Sinatra originally trained in the mid '90s in physical theatre at Melbourne Uni while at the same time acquiring circus skills with Circus Oz. After discovering Contact Improvisation Dance and training with State of Flux in 1996-97 he went on to do an honours year at WAPA focussing on dance. After graduating there Sinatra relocated to Sydney where he took up work and training with Russell Dumas' dance company. With Dumas, Sinatra has travelled and taught Dumas' dance techniques throughout the world and has had success developing his own choreographed works.

sue.k.

Trained as a visual artist in Perth, sue.k. first performed in 1992 in the production Quiet a collaborative work with Nigel Kellaway of the Sydney Front performance theatre group. The training embarked upon for this work was further extended upon in 1995 with the return of Kellaway to Perth. Living in Melbourne in 1996, sue.k. took up training in Contact Improvisation Dance with State of Flux. Returning to Perth the following year she continued in Contact Improv starting a weekly Contact Jam session, this was to continue for a number of years. sue.k. continues to train and to put into practice her skills and experience in body/movement work in Contact Improvisation Dance.

Stefanie Robinson

An experienced improvisition performer Robinson trained in physical theatre with John Bolton Theatre School. She discovered the joy of improvisation with Al Wonder and has rolled around with many fabulous teachers in Contact Improvisation. Robinson first performed with fire at dance parties and dressed in various costumes roving the streets at festivals around the world. Currently she divides her time between exploring physical story telling through dance, voice, imagery and working with community creating celebrations, parades and installations. It would be apt to describe her performance work as painting in space.

Contrary to beliefs, Super-8 film never went away.

This programme brings back focus to the use of the Super-8 gauge in film practice with a presentation of a collection of Australian experimental Super-8 film, most of which have not been publicly screened before. Still preferred by many, Super-8 has been a favoured gauge internationally by such greats as Derek Jarman, as well as by well-known and significant makers of avant-garde and experimental film, such as Anthony McCall, Carolee Schneemann, and John Maybury. Australia itself has seen many of its productive artists using Super-8 and a number of Super-8 film groups come and go. Today Super-8 is still used by a number of practitioners.

Curated by Richard Tuohy.

Following on from the day's Super-8 Pinhole Workshop the programme will present the work filmed that day, hot from the processing tub, prior to the official screening of the S8 28 S8 programme.

A simple but effective process of capturing image on film the pinhole camera provides the ideal mechanical device for exploring the multiple layers of beauty found in the film image.

Richard Tuohy has worked with super-8 and 16mm film since the 1980s and is a well-known and respected filmmaker. He, with his partner Diana, runs the film processing laboratory nanolab providing one of the few places left that processes super-8 film.

Richard will take the workshop partcipants through the steps of shooting super-8 film with the pinhole camera. The footage shot will be processed during the course of the workshop with a screening of the particpant's work occurring later that night.
