Thoughts on adapting the material for video

Adapting to the space

The performance in the space would have had a very different and particular energy and I can do the full range of movements that I had planned to do when in the studio. I will have to make my movements with the same energy and quality of movements but compress them into a smaller distance and make sure that this is translated in the video. I will be trying to have multiple shots to show the story of the sequences. I will try to include a range of shots that can show the range of movements of the sequences and edit them together in the hopes that I can link the sequences in a way that a story starts to be created.

Ideas on how we could interact

Interaction through the video is going to be difficult and in a way, it is a key element in the original piece, however, I feel like our piece can take inspiration from the way that the piece introduces sequences and character into the same space in the square and through this shared space there is a link between all of the characters that have their own individual stories. I feel like focussing on our solo sequences and having them all up replaying at the same time in the final edit will be a form of connection as the whole piece. I also think in the edit if we can find a way to have moments of collective energy such as a group pause at a particular point of the video will be effective in having the group interact in a subtle way that won’t be pretentious as forcing a physical connection through the screen even though we are into very different places whilst this could work I believe we should stay on the side of having a collective moment of energy rather than trying to show us physically trying to connect digitally.
