FrenetiCore presents an evening of dance for the camera. The screenings will include The All Hands Meeting, a new work by Rebecca French, Drain by Ashley Horn and other films to be announced.
Set in a surreal office, Rebecca French's The All Hands Meeting investigates a space with warped gravity and a main character searching for an escape from her sterile work environment. A powerful solo by Mallory Horn and an ethereal duet with Horn and Carlos Guzman beautifully depict the desired escape from reality. The audience's perspective is skewed with co-workers falling up and down the walls, in and out of doors and effortlessly climbing the furniture. The choreography features daring drops, inversions, and group lifts along with dream-like, sustained gestures. The dancers' movements combined with film editing by Robert Thoth create a powerful escape from reality. Performed by Kira Boerkircher, Dorianne Castillo, Carlos Guzman, Mallory Horn, Taylor Martin and Mollie Miller.
Drain, a short dance film by Ashley Horn, is a modern love story told through the mutual discovery and courtship of subterranean pipe dwellers. Themes of fear of intimacy, conflict, compromise and acceptance are explored in a striking two-tone world of concrete and sludge. Drain features dancers Shanon Adams and Alex Soares and was filmed in Houston's runoff water drainage system.
