IN PUBLIC SPACE

Kia Simon wanted to make a film that would stretch her creatively and be a collaboration with other artists. So she had an open call for choreographers that were interested in doing site specific dance for film. These choreographers came back with the following concepts.

Chris Black and Lydia Bueschel of POTRZEBIE wanted to do a dance about movement and interaction (or lack thereof) on public transit taking place entirely in BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit).

Jo Kreiter wanted to do a dance in a crime ridden urban alley that reclaimed the space through dance. She created aerial dance moves on the fire escape and the edge of the roof of a three story residential hotel.

Elise Brewin and Elizabeth Solomon of pieces of e dance exchange wanted to create movement and then fit it into spaces where dance isn't usually found, like the interior of a car, altering the movement to accommodate the restrictions of the location.
