EXIT
Choreography: Jamie Watton
Director: Charan Goul














The location (the london underground) in this peice is as important as the dance itself, some shots have no dancer oin them at all. Clear narrative, shown by cross cuts.

PULL
Bruce Mclean, David Proud, Ashley Page, Jane Thorburn and Mark Lucas


























This discribes itself as a "scultural dance". its about searching for the perfect body. The movements and editing are fosuced around and influenced completely by the props - which make up some of the costumes (huge card hats) and also big boards the dancers transport around like billboards. There are lots of sliding screens and split screens so in the end you dont know whether its the boards moving around or the editing! this is one of the few peices ive seen so far that include text within the dance, almost like headlines. the screen is alos in widescreen format which i think is to remind you of watching films.

The entire film is done in one shot, it zooms in and out but stays stationary. Interesting use of blurring - the film starts of completely blurred, you can just see movemet and colour.
