ADITO
A project by Renata Ferraz and Rubiane Maia
ÁDITO is a film that weaves together the artistic research of two women artists, with one course in Visual Arts and one in Theatre and Cinema. It is a four-handed narrative, in which both are both behind and in front of the camera 'interpreting' themselves as characters. Rubiane absorbed in a state of absence and melancholy, and Renata her mysterious companion. Between closeness and distances that occur in the middle of the landscape, Adito reveals fragments of memory, crisis and dream, in a cross between fiction and reality.
THE RED CHAIR
A video-promo commissioned by Clod Ensamble
Join acclaimed writer/performer Sarah Cameron as she takes you on a journey through a world of extreme compulsion and eye watering complacency, where domestic drudgery happens on an operatic scale and a father’s dereliction of duty reaches epic proportions.
Signals
A film by Manuel Vason and Rubiane Maia
In a contemporary society characterised by exasperated individualism,
in which economy and finance have replaced politic and ethic, we feel the
urgency to send out and receive SIGNALS.
Our intention is to SIGNALS out our desire for change and SIGNALS in new stimuli and ideas for the transformation of our daily life.
Through SIGNALS we are starting a process of personal and collective sensitisation.
An Anatomie in Four Quarters by Clod Ensemble
A trailer by Manuel Vason
Set to an original score featuring live strings, percussion and bagpipes, An Anatomie in Four Quarters celebrates the physical structure of the bodies we inhabit and the ways we attempt to see, define, contain, name and value them. The magnificent anatomy of Sadler's Wells theatre is itself dissected as the audience promenade to different viewing positions throughout the piece, examining what it means to open up and to be opened.
SOMEONE SOMETHING SOMEONE
A performance for the camera Neil Callaghan and Simon Kenyon
The world is in a constant state of flux. Two bodies engage in a delicate physical activity, striving to become something other than a body: material, force, a single organism. Colliding, pushing, pressing, mingling, uniting. A sculptural and minimal performance that seeks to entice the audience into the details of micro-movement.
SALENTO
A film by Helen Spackman and Manuel Vason
Salento is a collaboration between Helen Spackman and Manuel Vason. The two artists spent a week in Salento, southern Italy in 2008 and returned to the location a year later in 2009 to work on a video project using site-specific improvisations for the camera and working without a storyboard.
