bODY_rEMIX: A Ballet with Prosthetics, Harnesses and Much Much More

This work by Marie Chouinard is a ballet in two acts, it is present on her website (http://www.mariechouinard.com/flash.html). This website also gives a list of other works and some videos of the performances. In this particular performance: bODY_rEMIX/ gOLDBERG_vARIATIONS, they use various objects as an extension of the body which allow:

“This use of accessories gives rise to unusual bodily shapes and gestural dynamics and opens onto a universe of meticulous and playful explorations in which solos, duos, trios and group work, in their labour, pleasure and invention, echo the human condition.”

This video is being posted as a response to the challenges being put forth regards to the music and dance components in our production of LNM.
