Curbside Service, Please!

Performance Still from "Curbside Service, Please"

Two dancers arms spread open, like birds extending their wings. A dancer behind them, standing on makeshift stairs. A makeshift wall with Super 8 film of tree branches, mirroring the bird-like dancers on the wall.

Two dancers, one leaning gently on top of the other, their leg semi extended behind them. A Super 8 projection of a sign that says “Smile, You’re On Camera” on a makeshift wall behind them.

Several dancers sit on a makeshift stairwell on stage, gesturing outwards with their arms and hands. Another dancer pulls apart a makeshift wall on stage, revealing more dancers hidden behind.

Super 8 to digital, 20 min, 2017

Choreography by Simone Ferro in collaboration with the performers

A collaboration with Simone Ferro’s Washington Park Collaborative Project with UWM’s Art & Design Department, Dance Department, and the School of Architecture & Urban Planning. My film, shot on Super 8 captured the history, texture, and resiliency of the Washington Park neighborhood. Film was transferred and edited digitally, projected onto two walls which opened and transformed shape throughout the work.
