PROMPTS:
Each artist was asked to select a prompt from below to inspire their Distance Disco:
SPACE - Let your space inspire your flow. Find angles, nooks, edges, curves that allow for movement exploration. Consider the four walls of your bedroom, the enclosed darkness of a closet or the cool tile in the bathroom shower.
FLOW - Fast, slow, monotonous, painstaking. Consider time and how it relates to your every day flow. As an influence to your movement exploration, express through your body how time exists for you.
MEDITATE - Take a movement meditation, pensive, thoughtful, aware of your body, mind, soul and all that surrounds you. What drives you while in a quiet meditation to move through space and time?
FORM - Consider what form your body takes depending on your emotions. Tight, bound, quick, shaky, lazy, heavy, light. Connect with the physical moment.
Additional info (the fine print):
The Distance Disco Film Series: Round Three offers artists an opportunity to continue their creative journeys through dance, film and movement exploration during the global pandemic. The film series is an all-inclusive platform that allows for artists to share, connect and create during this time of social distancing.
This round of Distance Disco will NOT offer monetary compensation to artists, as it is purely a means of allowing artists to share their work and continue the creative process openly and freely with a widespread community during the global pandemic. We want you to use our space for exploration with no strings attached! For future paid opportunties, please make sure to subscribe to Zoetic’s email newsletter and follow on IG for updates.
Our first two rounds of Distance Disco films featured over 40 films from movement artists from across the country. Much like our first round of films, round three is open to all movement artists and EVERY film will be featured, shared and promoted with a large virtual audience.
We’re here for you during this time and we can’t wait to see what you come up with. We know how hard these times are, and hope that you will join us in continuing to generate joy, happiness and creativity throughout our arts communities.
