Gallery Construction: Dance For Camera Project
Ghostly images materialize in a film.
Performers appear and disappear behind a three-dimensional screen.
Quirky daily gestures of life lead to a furious folk dance
waltz.
Dancers float in a cloud world of colored glass.
Scenes captured in an evening of art, film, dance, and sound.
A hybrid film, dance, and installation performance titled "Gallery Construction" in 2018. The multi-media performance featured seven short films inspired by installations in Houston area galleries from 2011-2017. Galleries included the former Peel Gallery, Art League of Houston, and the former Rice University Art Gallery. The artist (installations) that inspired the films: Gabriel Dawe, Tanya Aguiniga, Roberta Stokes, Yasuaki Onishi, Soo Sunny Park, Anila Quaayyum Agha, and Thornsten Brinkmann. Four KSD company members interacted with film and a three diminsional screen in a unique film/art/dance experience.
