I am in the middle of editing Escalier vers le troisième étage, cutting movements, creating non-linear timelines of multiple scenes. It’s a very different kind of choreographic process than the one in rehearsal and whilst filming on site. A rather solitary one!
It’s a colossal task as there is a very large amount of film footage with so many precious memories attached. Over 32 people are featured on film, amongst them professional performers as well as many local participants from the very young to the very mature. Their various life experiences and physical interpretations enrich the movement vocabulary, content and concepts of the films in many different ways.
I look forward to sharing the works in progress with the participants later this spring to get their feedback!
