NATIONAL PREMIERE
Montage for Three is a choreography-of-images for two dancers and one projector. It takes its source material entirely from found photographs, both famous and obscure. These images are projected longside the two dancers, who embody the photographs with the absurd and impossible aim of giving presence to something which is absent.
The living/moving/present bodies confront the mechanical/static/reproduced bodies in such a way that the two forms begin to merge and exchange roles. The dancers become a trigger for the viewer’s memory, as the still images begin to take on a life of their own.
