While at MANCC(Maggie Allesee National Center for Choreography), Wilson conducted his most exploratory residency to date. He collaborated with photographer and videographer Aitor Mendilibar, investigating the place of video in the work. Mendilibar, whose background is in music and documentaries, was able to explore his relationship to movement, while Wilson examined his relationship to action and choreography through images. They experimented with getting the whole body moving through the whole space and searched for how video can capture emotional content. Moreover, choreographing the action of the camera, considering how the camera frames the action and setting parameters around these investigations all proved to be valuable information for the development of the work.
Your support will help us continue the vital work of Fist & Heel and also help incorporate state-of-the-art videography into the work, make it possible for CITIZEN to tour the US, and allow us to document the work for archival and educational purposes.
