Volume two in YCAM's original video dance production & screening series
In this second installment, choreographer/dancer Tsuyoshi Shirai will make use of YCAM's technology and creative environment to realize a new video dance piece. Through a filmed version of one of his most well-known works, "mass, slide, &." (2004), Shirai redefines dance from a viewpoint that differs from a conventional stage production, while exploring the refined and dynamic movements of the human body.
Next to unveiling a new video piece created in the course of this project, this event looks back on the project by way of a talk session with the artist and guests. Also introduced are various examples of previous works that illustrate the possibilities of dance expressed on film.
