Movement as a notation in dance as well as music is directly related to timing and rhythm, gesture and expression and the spaces in between. For their project Movement No. 5 artist Tara Ernst and dancer / choreographers Shannon Moreno and Farley Johansson combine film and live dance to play with the deeper notions of time. Time-lapse images recorded over the course of several hours in a closed studio are later condensed into a twenty-minute film which is then projected as a moving backdrop during the live performance. Movement No. 5 combines minimal elements and gestures, both live and recorded, to create a subtle yet enchanting interplay between movement and time.
