Ascension
A dance film commissioned by Bergen College. Exhibitions have included New York, China, Columbia, Italy, Korea and Mexico.
This film celebrates linkages between dance, visuals and music. It considers the possibilities of transcending boundaries through movement, responding to issues of fragmentation and making meaning across space and time. Contemporary dance choreography, captured on video, transforms into luminous videodance animation, accompanied by a soaring electro-acoustic soundscape.
