Jennifer Nikolai, Andrew Denton, Study #6
Sixth in a series of short dance films that respond to the early moving image pioneers; The Lumiere Brothers’ experiments. This piece flips the representation of the gendered dancing subject from its original, produced in 1896. This black & white rendition inspired by the 1896 piece “Ballet Dancer” invites critical commentary in 2024 contexts.
