It was really useful to install work and and showcase emerging ideas at The Place in December. At the first Open Studio we installed work in my house and studio, where the research workshops had been held, and it felt as if it belonged there. In particular, the works made in or referring to a domestic context could be installed in domestic settings.
At The Place the two Tea Break films were shown in a similar way, albeit in a dance studio. However, the Living Room film was projected onto and through a glass window in a small meeting room and this made it even more voyeuristic.
We had put together a 15 minute film sequence of work in the studio, with Hannah moving in different ways through the web of elastic. This was projected at The Place so that the audience was watching the film through elastic, layering real elastic with that on film. Five minutes from the end Hannah entered the space from the back, working her way through this elastic to dance the choreographic sequence in front of the projection. The movement was repeated out of sync with the film, leading to three layers of Hannah moving and additional moving shadows.
