3/5 Final Project

Preference...

No. 1/ Idea 2 - Meaningful and related to my art research and interest. Challenges: Less time - Need more time to look for the visually impaired character/dancer/performer. Need to get approval. Will try to look at hospitals near my location and inquire. 

No. 2/ Idea 6 - An art education project that I've always wanted to make, which also has the potential to become a series of online teaching classes.

No. 3/ Idea 1 - Projection of self, that may relate to many other foreigners and/or women struggling in NYC.

Initial Idea & Notes

Dice: Story Telling/ Internet & Social Media/ Dance

a/ Story Telling: Story Telling through reciting a poetry, story telling through body gesture, story telling through instructions and education.
b/ Internet & Social Media: Final video will be posted on Facebook and I will inquire people's opinions.
c/ A dancer will be filmed to dance under my directions with her artistic improvisations.

Idea 1/ Make a short video of a dancer that tells a story of a woman as a foreigner struggling in New York City, using only body gestures and various props (fabric, found objects?). Shooting in Time Square trying to hale a Taxi.- Location is easily accessible. Can project different interesting body languages that fuse with everyday life struggles, such as falling off on the street, almost getting hit by a car, or getting hit by a car on valentine's day while getting dumped by my boyfriend... etc. 

Idea 2/ Make a video of a dancer as an instructional dancer and teach a visually impaired, or a group of them how to dance that tells the story of the disabled through their body language and abstract of interaction of the body parts. Story and contrast between a professional and a non-professional. Final video will be posted on facebook, I will inquire my friends' opinions on this work. - Meaningful for me, investigate the idea of the reverse - us as visual artists and educators, are using our eyes everyday, in making this video, I hope I can remind people about other aspects of perception, such as touch, which forms moving sculptures, interlacing the body that becomes moving materials, the body becomes the material.

Idea 3/ Make a video that tells a short story (can be in the form of a poetry) and let a dancer improvise with the story. Capture from a bird's eye view or from above. Post on facebook and encourage others to join us so it becomes a continuous project. 

Idea 4/ Make a video of a dreamlike scene, dancing and breathing in water that mixes shots with the abstracts of actual paint material pouring out somewhere. Music can be sounds of underneath the water, bubbles, and dreamy fantasy.

Idea 5/ Make a video of a person improvise with a poetry that I make about Spring (season, love, state of mind etc.) It may be recited or sung. Post on Facebook and invite people to continue the poetry based on mine, a continuous project to make a series of videos afterwards based on other people's poetries. 

Idea 6/ Online teaching about inventing dance steps and transforming the steps into a graphic dance score, which becomes abstract conceptual art. Broadcast onto Makerspace, Facebook, Youtube. - Have always wanted to make online teaching videos about art. I can fuse art with dance and teach visual art through dance. The dance can tell a story, or vice versa - the art outcome has to tell a story (more difficult as it's abstract).
