Abstract:	Anarchic Variations received one of four £20K Awards. Shot on Digi-Beta, the piece aims to confound and disorientate the spectators’ view of reality, space, scale and sound based on the choreographic and musical idea of theme and variation. The neutral box space acts as a dynamic, antagonistic partner for the performer. The film uses technology (Commotion), and explores integrated body-hyper-sound component. Research included; experimenting with visual design creating multifaceted textural leather overprinted costumes: developing appropriate dance language in relationship to camera in prototype spaces: testing and manipulating musical and choreographic speeds for post production revisions: testing false spatial perspectives, light and film grading techniques.
