Digital Expressionism/Part 1: Interview with Gideon Obarzanek of Chunky Move

by Marlon Barrios Solano of Dance-tech.net

Wonder how it was done? Marlon Barrios Solano interviews Gideon Obarzanek, Artistic Director of Chunky Move, about his work Glow. This NYC premiere was co-presented by The Joyce and The Kitchen Feb 7-10.


Find more videos like this on dance-tech.netLast Thursday [Feb 7] , I interviewed Gideon Obarzanek, Artistic Director of the Australian dance company Chunky Move in occasion of the USA premiere of his choreographic essay”"Glow” at The Kitchen [co-presented by The Joyce Theater].
http://www.thekitchen.org/. He takes us inside the creative process and the impact of interactive technology on his work.
Glow ( in collaboration with Frieder Weiss/
www.frieder-weiss.de) is a brilliant example of dance and new media, and an interesting juxtaposition of shamelessly digital image generation ( an video tracking) with a fleshy expressive body. A digital expressionism.
