Anamnesis

Research and development blog for dance film

that dancing

I had a Professor at Otago University School of Physical Education whose favourite question (when we were presenting papers) was, “So what?”.

In considering the possible presence of this amniotic-like footage in anamnesis, I keep asking myself the same thing. What might it add to the form-content? Why might it be necessary? How can the feel of that (dancing) material add gravitas or context to the experience of this woman? And more importantly, why is this narrative relevant … what does it say beyond, “isn’t memory important?”, or “isn’t it sad when people have no memory?”

I am looking for a broader context, a more complex way to place (or locate) the early ideas we have for this project.
