A window into the process of a choreographer. This short clip reveals this choreographers thoughts and concept for his creative process and then allows the viewer to enter the rehearsal space with him and see how the process is practiced and how he uses his experience, impulse and imagery to push the performers. The camera work is nice, clean and simple- allowing the subject to be observed completely and instigating the need to see more. The choreography itself is strong, innovative, and exemplifies the bodies creative capabilities beautifully. The choreographer that we see here became the artistic director for the Nederlands Dans Theatre in 1976. Nederlands Dans Theatre explores new techniques of performance combining the conventions of dance and theatre with subtext, narrative, and political layering. Again, great clarity, simplicity, and window into the artist's life.
