Shaden Dance Company to present dance-on-camera in 鈥淭rilogy鈥�

草榴视频 State University鈥檚 Department of Dance will virtually host Israel-based in the three-part, dance-on-camera performance of 鈥淭rilogy.鈥� The production will be streamed for free on Arts草榴视频 Virtual, on Friday, Feb. 26 and Saturday, Feb. 27, at 8 p.m. A simple is all that is required to watch.

Journey This Way
Created by founder and artistic director , 鈥淭rilogy鈥� looks at the idea of place as a space that holds memories, hopes, disappointments, aspirations, experiences, and moments of anguish and joy. The piece takes place in Israel in three parts, beginning in the courtyards of in Tel Aviv, moving to the in Nazareth, and finally, returning to on the stage. 草榴视频 Dance professor and artistic director says, 鈥淚t鈥檚 just really beautiful work. The first and third sections are made for the camera, and Shaden was able to create a strong emotional context, sometimes with very minimal movement, in this beautiful landscape.鈥�

A New Art Form
Department of Dance chair says, 鈥淚t鈥檚 really interesting because the hybridization and juxtaposition of these two forms, dance and film, lend itself to a new understanding and appreciation of the power of dance to convey the human condition, to convey narrative and emotion. So, it allows the viewer to understand the movement in a completely unique and special way.鈥� 

In creating dance for the camera, choreographers may guide the eye of the audience 鈥渢o what they want you to see, instead of watching a live performance in a big space and choosing your own focus,鈥� adds Lock. Presenting international work is not only a delight for patrons, but also for the Dance students. 鈥淭his work speaks to the Dance Department鈥檚 commitment to engage with professional practices and engaging with international dance on an international stage,鈥� says Barsky.

Share the Work
Students also attended a virtual masterclass led by Shaden, who Zoomed in from Nazareth. Dancemakers are continuously finding new ways to share their work more broadly. Barsky says, 鈥淥ur 草榴视频 Dance Film Festival is testament to that, as we take advantage of opportunities to share with students the value of screen dance as an art form, show them professionally produced products, and have it become an integral part of our season, truly representing the field of dance in all of its forms.鈥� 

Visit Virtually
Lock explains that with this unique choreography, 鈥渘othing is similar; it鈥檚 fascinating to watch several works that are all so completely different and unique. The Company is very inventive with their movement vocabulary, and people will hopefully discover something new that they haven鈥檛 seen before.鈥� Patrons and students may be virtually transported to these places in Israel, connecting to the wider, international community, through 鈥淭rilogy,鈥� each part traveling a temporal and spatial line between past and present, history, and memory, life and dance.
