Jean Churchill created the dance "Periodic Solution" for Arthur Aviles 33 years ago. More recently, Arthur was compelled to bring the dance that launched his career into the present and recruited his collaborator Peter Richards (a film artist, videographer and performer) with whom Arthur has worked twice before on previous films. Richards, Churchill, and Aviles have created a new incarnation of the dance. "Periodic Solution" (the film) was never intended to be simply a film of a dance. What the three collaborators hoped was to make a film from/with/about/inside "Periodic Solution." After a screening of the film, the three collaborators will discuss: 1) the dance itself, and the themes that prompted it; and 2) the challenges transposing a three-dimensional ephemeral work, meant to be presented on stage, to the two-dimensional medium of film.
Please join us for a reception prior to the event beginning at 6:00 p.m. in the Faculty Commons Room
