[8] Kinaesthetic Traces Across Material Forms...

Kinaesthetic Traces Across Material Forms: Stretching the Screen's Stage

- Gretchen Schiller



○ Cinedance
body-space screenography

Cinedance traditonally has a seated and physically passive audience.
Cinedance is an art form that extends both what is cinema and what is dance.

3 categories of dance and film (by Allegra Fuller Snyder, 1960s)
- the dance filmic document (single camera)
- the dance translation (narrative of the dance is respected ... camera with close-ups, 3 camera shoots)
- cinedance : the creation of a new art form which transcends the boilogical possibilities of the living, gravitational body and which introduces alternative forms of embodiment

extend the body-medium of the audience through movement empathy and
haptic perception with cinematic techniques of shifts in point of view,
referential framing, décor, montage, compositing...

The audience's empathetic identification with moving images is
a sort of haptic or kinaesthetic inscription.

The public is transported physically to alternative physical spaces
without travelling or dancing physically themselves.
