Fractured Variations / Visual Shuffle
In collaboration with Charles Moulton
1986, 15:15 min, color, sound
Composed of dance fragments that are choreographed in the editing process, Fractured Variations is a unique hybrid of dance and video in which the rapid intercutting and three-dimensionality of the post-production accents the powerful athleticism of the choreography. In Visual Shuffle, Moulton's choreography becomes part of a fantastic landscape of floating pop icons and symbols.
Geography combines Molissa Fenley's high-velocity choreography with Sanborn and Perillo's dynamic interplay of sound and image, as Fenley and dancers spin across the Painted Desert of Arizona.
Duet, which David Gordon choreographed for PBS' Dance in America series, describes immigrants Mikhail Barishnikov and Valda Setterfield's experiences of coming to America.
Endance is a witty take-off of a public television documentary. Choreographer Tim Buckley solemnly discusses his life, work, and decision to stop dancing, in a convinving narrative built on a false premise: the end of a dancer's career.
