My Time
In this piece I wanted to explore the effects and impact of a degenerating hip / ageing and and the desire to dance even if I struggled to walk. I wanted to use light and live camera to focus on details of the body to highlight small movements less visible to a live audience.
The project was a collaboration with VJ Dariusz Dziala and during the creation process we encountered lots of exciting possibilities using live camera and some prerecorded clips. Many of these did not make it into the work performed at The Pegasus Theatre in 2011 as part of Dancin’ Oxford festival platform ‘Moving with the Times. It was supported by ACE.
This film was made after the live performance and filmed by Dariusz and Peter Green. The edit by Dariusz Dziala is unfinished but still conveys the essence of ‘My TIme’.
