Seven Moves, 2020

 

Digitally woven cotton
50 x 60 in.

Concept: To continue my exploration of identity and memory, I photographed my partner, writer/performer Tanya Marquardt while she moved in the studio in front of a  camera set to take multiple exposures, capturing and layering their movement. As they state: “The process echoed our desire to mirror form and content, and surprised us by becoming a document of my ever changing trans body, gender-in-motion, a fierce and vulnerable mucking about in an in-between space.”

Activity

Performance Prompt: Create a movement that can be performed with the following features.  Write down the script or instructions for the movement and give the dance a title.

1. It should last 3 minutes

2. Move very slowly but change your speed.

3. Cover at least 5 feet of space with and end up in the same place and position where you started.

4. Share with others what it was like to perform in slow motion. Optional: Make a video of your dance.
