Broken Glass
A screendance that evokes passing shadows and fragmentary forms, converging reality and dreamspace. Presented in an online concert by the Spread Spectrum Festival in Moscow.
Directed by John Crawford with choreography by Lisa Naugle and set to Inharmonic Fantasy No. 13 by Hubert Howe, Broken Glass uses the interplay of light and broken surfaces to consider modes of perception and the inner work of imagination. Choreographed phrases were captured in a green screen studio and juxtaposed with time-lapse footage from natural environments.
Stunned from the fall, broken glass lies on the surface
Look! Between the pieces, it’s not what it seems to be.
Worlds are there, floating between shards of tiny sharp edges.
Light shines through broken glass
Carried on hands and in the nightlife of clouds.
Production date: July 2020.
