Rachel Thorne Germond Performance Collage – Shadow Box I
Shadow Box is a duet for two female dancers that developed from a using a matrix as the motor of the movement impulse. This work was created as a shadow box in dance and video (shadow boxes are enclosed glass-front display cases containing objects presented in a thematic grouping with artistic or personal significance). Music by guitarist Marc Ribot and composer Fred Frith create an upbeat mood, and the sound score incorporates stentorian, ecstatic poetry by Jim Morrison. The ever-changing patterns of movement break apart and reform, evoking concerns of human will, control, isolation, and even doom. www.rachelthornegermond.com
