Moving Dallas by Moving Cities Project

"...Combining competing images of the Lone Star State, Moving Dallas brings together the best dance institutions the city has to offer. From the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders to world-class ballet, contemporary and folklorico. All set against a glassy dream, packed with early 20th century Art Deco...."

Virtual Actors in Chinese Opera by Tobias Gremmler

Created for a theatre production that fuses Chinese Opera with New Media, the virtual actors are inspired by shapes, colors and motions of traditional Chinese costumes and dance. The project made me think of how costumes and fashion could reshape a human body.

Scriptwriter: Wang An-qi
Director and Designer: Mathias Woo @ Zuni Icosahedron

Performed by: GuoGuang Opera Company (Taipei)

Moving Southwark by Jevan Chowdhury

"...Part of the wider Moving Cities remit to investigate culture and people via expressions of dance, we take you deeper into London, probing further into what makes up the people in a city.

The narrator, Nadine Marshall and composer, Danny Odom form a score underwritten by 24 dancers.
Each dancer was asked to respond directly whats on their mind in that given time, in that given moment. ..."

Moving Yerevan by Jevan Chowdhury

"Moving Yerevan is an emotive response to the meeting of 47 dancers and the metropolis.

Too intuitive and almost impossible to clarify in formal terms, Moving Yerevan can be loosely described as playful filmmaking meets the hidden language of dance.

Yerevan is one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities. The history of it's people simply measured in millennia.
I encourage all to take a brief look at Armenian history before watching."

Moving Brussels by Jevan Chowdhury

"A short film capturing some of the most talented Belgian dancers during a Brussels rush hour."
