Featuring the premiere of Imagined Corners and other works.Charles Moulton in PersonA recent arrival to the Bay Area, Charles Moulton is an artist who specializes in unexpected events that require physical movement-in other words, he's a choreographer. Like other choreographers, his preoccupation is with the dream of plasticity, the stretching, the bending, the subverting of space and time. In John Sanborn's Fractured Variations (1986, 6:40 mins, PFA Collection), televisual space heightens the athleticism of Moulton's dance, freeing his performers to indulge in the impossible. Sanborn's second work with Moulton, Visual Shuffle (1986, 7:25 mins, PFA Collection), completely banishes gravity as the dancers gallivant through a web of floating pop icons. In Nine Person Precision Ball Passing (1986, 7 mins, PFA Collection), directed by Skip Blumberg, a relentless score spurs the performers on to greater feats of spheroid exchange. In Moulton's newest work on video, which he directed, Imagined Corners (2000, 16 mins, From the artist), time has the upper hand. The dancer and his devilish alter-ego comically cavort in this meditation on creativity and age.-Steve SeidFollowed by:Blue Studio: Five Segments by Charles Atlas and Merce Cunningham (1975). In a tribute to Moulton's mentor, with whom he danced in the 1970s, we offer this ground-breaking dance video conceived by Cunningham especially for the two-dimensionality of video space. The avant-garde master performs to an audio collage that includes the voices of John Cage and Jasper Johns. (15:38 mins, From EAI)
