Circus Me (A Round)

installation

A collaboration with choreographer and dancer Linda Austin, extracting and reconfiguring a solo from her larger project Circus Me Around. Three renditions of the dance filmed from three heights — foot, torso, head level — fragmenting the body into separate parts projected throughout the space. The solo becomes "a round" as the three performances move in and out of sync, their rustling, footfalls, and fragments of speech and song overlapping and diverging.

Props, set elements, and lights created a tableau in the space, suggesting and reflecting various moments from the dance.

Three video projections, 4-channel sound. Choreography by Linda Austin. Light & Sound Gallery, Portland Art Center — September 2006
