Last Thursday night we premiered our collaborative project with Queensland Ballet dancers Jack Lister, Sarah Thompson & artists Gert Geyer & Greg Henderson. Marie Claire Up Late on James Street in Fortitude Valley saw a celebration of all things fashion and to activate the street, we projected Entangled onto the the blank canvas of the Scanlan Theodore store. Passers by were treated to a wall of moving contemporary art that illuminated the neighborhood. The production was created by a fantastic group of talented, dedicated and visionary individuals who combined forces to create a work of art that fused ballet, film and digital art into one pretty spectacular, moving artwork. Art for the 21st Century!

We have embarked on a project together with QLD Ballet dancer and choreographer Jack Lister to fuse dance with visual art. Frustrated with the lack of dialogue between different artistic disciplines, we decided to take matters into our own hands and create a work of art that embraces each others processes. Essentially we are creating a work of art with 3 principal layers, dance, film and digital art. Stage 1 involved Jack choreographing a series of movements and performing them with his colleague and friend, QLD Ballet dancer Sarah Thompson. Together they created a truly moving piece that will literally make the hair on the back of your neck stand on end - they are NOT human!! Stage 2 began on Monday night. Cinematographer Greg Henderson joined forces with Jack and I to capture the dance on film. The result left us all speechless and the final footage will serve as the base for Stage 3 where local digital artist Gert Geyer will work back into the frames to create an animated digital artwork. We will debut the work in laser projection at Marie Claire - Up Late on James Street - March 12! In the meantime, here is a behind the scenes look at Stage 1 & Stage 2 in production. Stay tuned!!
