JUMP CUT 6

1 episode of six-part digital series

Description

The sixth episode pairs Montreal-based dance artist Hanako Hoshimi-Caines with New York-based sound artist Chloe Alexandra Thompson, and Portland-based artist Brenna Murphy.

Their collaboration aims to intuitively find abstract meanings through mutual aesthetic exercises, exploring subtle energy lines as infrastructure, and ritual as a way to extend bodies across time in choreographies of human and non-human interaction. Sitting in the tension of attachment to »objects« as an ownership equation, the artists feel the knotted dynamics of agency between object and subject, or in other words, they sense that all things have a spirit.

Jump Cut is a six-part digital series conceived and created by Dana Gingras/Animals of Distinction as a response to the unpredictable and sudden end to international touring during the pandemic. The goal was to bring dancers, video artists, and musicians out of enforced isolation and to offer a new kind of spontaneous meeting ground for unpredictable encounters and connections between international artists.
