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>01/Bande à part,</strong> Jean-Luc Godard, 1964<br /> <strong>00:45:08*</strong><br /> The film is an adaptation of the novel Fools’ Gold (Doubleday Crime Club, 1958) by American author Dolores Hitchens (1907–1973).
