Loneliness is a dance video flip book, created from series of photos taken by Lily Baldwin, of me dancing in my bedroom. Choreographed in iMovie, the dance did not pre-exist. Working digitally liberated me from the time/space constrictions of a typical dance rehearsal. I was able to work on “Loneliness” any time of day in my apartment. I certainly didn’t have to be warmed up physically or socially articulate to do it. It enabled me to be private in my process while simultaneously gaining objectivity usually impossible when performing one's own work. Editing and choreography are quite similar and I have learned that “Loneliness” happens to me no matter what. I am wearing a costume designed by a plastic table cloth, found on the street.
