We started this workshop by looking at Tea Break I (v.4) and Tea Break II (v.3) and thinking about any editing needed. We had exhibited a previous version of Tea Break I on a framed mini iPad which displays the film very small, drawing the viewer nearer and into the narrative. We discussed presenting the two related films on two iPads and as the films would be looped and different lengths there would be a constantly varied juxtaposition of the action.
We moved on to looking at developing choreographed material from the work that Hannah had done in the elastic over several workshops. We selected 5 sequences of filming with fantastic, varied movement and edited them into set of clips.
The following morning Darren and Hannah worked with the compilation on a laptop and developed two choreographed phrases based on specific sections of filmed movement.
I saved a range of films from earlier workshops onto an iPad and set up a projector to experiment with projecting a large backdrop onto the back wall of the studio. This included still elastic, moving elastic and early films of Hannah moving through the elastic. We discussed the possibility of wrapping the image or film, the potential for layering projected film, an elastic web and new movement. The projector lit areas of elastic and threw fine shadows, both of which are interesting possibilities. We also considered projecting images of interiors and planned to find material for this for the next workshop.
