Dance #1

April 27th, 2012 · No Comments

“Dance #1” is a brief 8mm film I made for a performance in San Francisco, back in 1976.  It was made up of footage from home movies and from old silent movies.  I did a few films like this, but this was the only one to be screened.

Here’s what you saw:

1. water pouring into a glass bowl (color): 15″

2. a fight in a saloon (black & white): 5″

3. my mother in the kitchen (color): 15″

4. two seated women; a gun barrel lowers from overhead (black & white): 5″

5. water pouring into a glass bowl (color): 15″

6. a glass falls to the floor and shatters (color): 5″

7. two seated women; one passes her hand over her eyes, then screams (black & white): 15″
