Releasing the Archive - Installation: 'Releasing Her Archive' Dance for Screen - Video and Images

The practice-led project <i>‘Releasing the Archive’</i>, undertaken in collaboration with dance-scholar Carol Brown (NZ/AUS),<b> </b>aims to re-articulate marginalised modernist exile-dance practices and histories, with reference to the work of Austrian Jewish choreographer Gertrud Bodenwieser (1890-1959) who pioneered Modern Dance in New Zealand and Australia after 1939. It embraces trends towards somatic-informed dance practices, performance-as-archive, and the revisioning of modernist dance legacies.<br><br><b>This item contains documentation of the Video Installation/Film 'Releasing Her Archive' which forms one of the outputs for this project. <br><br></b>Artistic Direction: Carol Brown<br>Movement Direction and Research: Thomas Kampe<br>Editorial Direction: Owa Barua<br>Videography: Meek Zuiderwyk<br>Sound: Russell Scoones<br>Video Assistant: Freddie Errazo<br>Performers: Katie Rudd, Lucy Lynch, Chris Ofanoa, Karl Tolentino, Maryam B.
