ANNE• crosses new borders in 2015!

By the end of October 2014 I started a research project with choreographer Miku Tsuchiya. The process consisted out of four makers intensives on four different locations throughout the UK in which spatial composition, dance, painting, movement and film were explored. The flow was enticing and the footage was rich. Consistency and style began to form out of two different disciplines, dance and visual art, bringing it to a new level in which exploration and intuition became the leading roles of this collaboration. Central to this research is the use of the digital canvas as our main tool.

When in December 2014 Miku moved back to Japan, we became well aware that in this digital age boundaries are relative when it comes to distance. Since we have landed in the next step of our work process, the digital step, we have decided to collaborate from opposite ends of the world.

From this day we will log the process of our collaboration onto this blog as a support for the work being created through theory and practice.

All at sea

Last Monday I had another interesting conversation with artist Billy Cowie at his Brighton studio in which we discussed dance, film and sound while watching our work on the big screen.

Another challenging film session took place with Miku Tsuchiya at Brighton’s sea side where we braved the elements till our joints were locked together by wind, water, stone, iron and sound.

Autumn research with Miku Tsuchiya

This autumn I am researching dance and film with choreographer and dancer Miku Tsuchiya. In this collaboration we let a chosen location influence and challenge both our views and work methods to come to a new image that combines dance and film as one.

These photo’s are a sneak peek into our current work process.
