</a></p> <p><strong>04/Pulp Fiction,</strong> Quentin Tarantino, 1994<br /> <strong>00:58:12*</strong><br /> The film was widely considered the most influential American movie of the 1990s. A crime film, known for its eclectic dialogue, ironic mix of humor and violence, nonlinear storyline, time-twisting, and a host of cinematic allusions and pop culture references, starring Samuel L. Jackson and Uma Thurman.</p> <p><strong>Tracing the trail</strong><br /> <strong>A personal / subjective archive of choreographies of films across the film history.</strong></p> <p>Inside postmodern cultural studies the term archive is being used as memory of information and knowledge, referring to Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault. It s a project about choreography – developed as a form of writing. Notation of dance movements in film scenes is a rareness. The challenge about capturing dance scenes in films are frequently occurring camera view changes e.g. close ups of faces which interrupts the experience of viewing whole movements.</p> <p>The working prozess is: A first step is to find a way to understand movements, to reconstruct them, to write it down, to find a possible way of notation. To learn the movements we can get from the film scenes, to then imagine the rest of the choreography by analyzing procedures, patterns and other materials involved.<br /> It is a Remake of the Original. The decision of how to complete a choreography is always based on a mix of several experiences, namely of cultural knowledge* (which is an archive we can use as well), of imagination, and of course of what we see in the actual scene.</p> <p><em>*cultural knowledge means e.g. body attitudes that have already been seen, they are already part of a cultural memory.</em></p> <p><strong> </strong></p> <p> </p> <div class="clear"></div> <div class="entry-utility"> </div><!-- .entry-utility --> <div id="social"> <a href="http://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal">Tweet</a> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script> <div id="fb-root"></div> <script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script> <fb:like href="http://annettesonnewend.com/dance-archiv-05dogtooth-2/" send="true" width="450" show_faces="false" font=""></fb:like> </div> </td> </tr> </table><!-- #post-## --> <div id="comments"> </div><!-- #comments --> </div><!-- #content --> </div><!-- #main --> <div id="footer"> <div id="site-info"> © 2011 <a href="/">Annette Sonnewend</a><br /> Designed by <a href="http://wpshower.com" target="_blank">Wpshower</a> <span class="main_separator">/</span> Powered by <a href="http://www.wordpress.org" target="_blank">WordPress</a> </div><!-- #site-info --> <div id="footer-right"><div class="menu"><ul><li id="menu-item-15" class="menu-item-15"><a></a></li><li id="menu-item-18" class="menu-item-18"><a></a></li></ul></div> </div> <div id="footer-left"><div class="menu"><ul><li class="menu-item-15"><a></a></li><li class="menu-item-18"><a></a></li></ul></div> </div> <div class="clear"></div> </div><!-- #footer --> </div><!-- .wrapper --> <script type='text/javascript' src='http://annettesonnewend.com/wordpress/wp-includes/js/comment-reply.min.js?ver=4.4'></script> <script type='text/javascript' src='http://annettesonnewend.com/wordpress/wp-includes/js/wp-embed.min.js?ver=4.4'></script> </body> </html>
