is dance who you are or what you do? left to right: Jadzea Allen, Richard James Allen, Samuel Allen, Karen Pearlman in The Physical TV Company production of "...the dancer from the dance" (photo by Ehran Edwards, (c)2013 PhysicalTV In 2007, on my 10th Anniversary of "quitting" dancing I had a dance research residency at Critical Path. My research questions was: "What's left? What is left in me, and what has left me?" The five days in the studio raised more questions, so I shared these with my dancing colleagues in Sydney, video-taping their responses. In 2012 Critical Path gave us a curatorial residency to cut together the footage and create the Physical TV Company's production of a documentary & screendance called "...the dancer from the dance". First public screening: 5pm Saturday 30 November at The Performance Space as part of the Director's Cuts series. (for tickets - http://bit.ly/18j4Mhy).
