Grounding Point Dance Co. New Screen Dance Project
Sunday, October 12th, 2008Grounding Point Dance Company is currently re-staging Red, which premiered in 2002. Dancer, Crystal Truesdell, California State Fullerton dance alumni, is learning the piece from Carrie Smaczny, Artistic Director.
Smaczny states, “As a contemporary dance artist and screen dance artist creating non-linear movement sequences interests me most. I am shooting this piece with the HD Canon Xh-A1. Shooting dance in High Definition gives the viewer a real time experience, which is what I am looking for. My intention is to draw the audience in to the dancer’s intimate space and use unique camera perspective. I love getting close to the movement, in order to capture the dancer’s kinesthetic sense of weight, space, and time.”
Red will be premiered in November on Grounding Point Dance Company’s new website.
