Theoretical duet

Abstract

When dance and moving projected images intersect, what do those intersections create-and why? In conversation two practitioners making dances combined with moving images discuss their own work in mixed media production, drawing on writings by Philip Sandifer, Walter Benjamin, and Douglas Rosenberg as well as Wim Wenders’s film Pina (2011). These narratives about process, application-and, in a very real sense, making theory visible-provide an opening and a lens for us to view and understand the working and workings of creating a mixed media performance piece.
