I had a somewhat complicated notion of using carefully placed mirrors, periscope style, to frame these everyday dances, but concluded that film would give me more possibilities and scope when it came to capturing these movements: I could use the observational movements and edit them as a way of choreographing. This decision felt right. It felt truer to my intention, but perhaps also because editing a film is hands on and thus a process more akin to my approach to making.
I also wanted to appropriate the sounds of the office. Making the most out of these instruments would help to frame these everyday movements as dance, and hopefully draw attention to the stage that is the office.
