Arts Sixteen Hours in Frigid Water
Posted by Brendan Kiley on Fri, Nov 28, 2008 at 12:45 PM
Seattle dancer and choreographer Jessie Smith (of Dead Bird Movement and locust and Implied Violence) has made a dance film, with music by Jherek Bischoff (of The Dead Science).
It is part of Slamdance Anarchy, an online contest to choose whose short films get into the alterna-Sundance festival.
Smith's contribution is a water-dance in an old claw-foot bathtub. She writes:
When we found the perfect bathtub, we easily overlooked the fact that its rim was jagged with plaster chunks. By the end of the shoot, my body was torn to pieces. Look close at the film and you'll start to notice all the bruises. And, the plumbing near the freight elevator we shot in wasn't connected to a water heater, which meant some 16-odd hours in freezing water.
Watch it (and maybe even vote for it) here.
